Addams Family

Addams Family
 

Product Description

 
When long-lost Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) reappears after 25 years in the Bermuda Triangle, Morticia (Anjelica Huston) and Gomez (Raul Julia) ecstatically begin plans for a celebration that will wake the dead. Meanwhile, an evil lawyer is plotting ways to get at the ghoulish family's fortunes--which are stashed somewhere within a secret vault inside the family mansion. Only the Addams's daughter, Wednesday, played by the brilliant and stunningly stoic Christina Ricci, and the Addams's detached hand servant, Thing, suspect that something rotten is afoot. But can they prove anything before the vault is found and the Addams family is plunged into poverty? THE ADDAMS FAMILY is not only the cartoon and television family's film premiere but is also the directorial debut of talented cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld. It has a winningly dark sense of humor that manages to be both lighthearted and macabre.

Raul Julia and Anjelica Houston Bring Life Back to The Addams Family

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2003
The Bottom Line: The Addams Family is a different movie, but entertaining. It is worth watching.
Review: When I was young, I remember watching The Addams Family on tv. I'm pretty sure that I was seeing the reruns. The show had some very unique characters and I enjoyed it. A movie based on the tv show was made in 1989. I didn't see the movie in the...

Unhappy, darling? The Addams Family

Date of Review:  May 10, 2009
The Bottom Line: A pretty good comedy works better for younger generation who did not grow up with the TV series.
Review: The Addams Family (1991)
 
"Let's play wake the dead!"  "Wake the dead! - can I play - what do I need?"  "Did you bring a shovel?"

This is a remake of the 1960s television series that starred John Astin and Carolyn Jones as Gomez...

The Addams Family: Gomez and Morticia, An Ultimate Love Story

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: The Addams Family gives you everything all in one movie -- comedy, romance, and action all rolled up into one fantastic film!
Review: For several years at Halloween, I have long searched for a Gomez to match my Morticia. :) To me, Gomez and Morticia Addams are one of the most romantic and passionate couples of all times.

The Addams Family shows this in great detail...
