I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The movie opens up with the vast dark sky lit only by a ghastly pale full moon and the howling of a "wolf", but quickly the audience is completely taken out of the dreary mood by discovering that the "wolf" that was howling is actually a short, bald-headed man, screeching on top of a roof. Addams Family Values is the perfect blend of family and dark humor. The film is drenched with verbal and situational irony—as great comedies should be —to heighten the extremities of the Addams family's preferences and tastes. Needless to say, the world is a little to bright and sunny for them. After watching the movie, it will seem a little too bright and sunny to you as well! One of the opening lines of the movie is Morticia Addams (the mother) saying calmly to her husband, "Gomez, I'm going to have a baby, right…now." The movie then jumps into a sequence of rapid montage shots: Morticia being rushed into the hospital with a smirk on her face, Motricia and Gomez talking about how much Morticia is enjoying the pain she is experiencing, and cutting to Wednesday and Pugsley Addams in the waiting room. While a bubbly and excited girl sits across from them in the waiting room, she excitedly explains to them where babies come from. Her story consists of unicorns, fairies, and magic. After listening with a melancholy face, Wednesday responds to the little girl, "our parents had sex." The movie is rated PG-13 for "language, smoking, sensuality and some bloody comic violence." If this movie isn't on your go-to Halloween family movies list, you are missing out on a belly full of laughs!

Addams Family Values is much better than the first Addams family film. I gave the original a 3/10 rating because to be honest it wasn't good at all, very disappointing in my opinion. This sequel is funnier, more entertaining, and all around better made. The cast does well with the material, especially Joan Cusack, I adored her as Debbie Jellinsky. Cusack plays the gold digging murderous nanny who seduces uncle Fester. That's mainly what this film focuses on, that and the children being sent away to a summer camp. That aspect of the movie makes for some great comedy because the leaders of this summer camp are the very upbeat happy type that wants the kids to join in on all the fun, and Of course the Addams kids aren't about to do that. The script is written well and it is chock full of dark humor. I would really suggest you skip the first Addams family film and just watch this sequel. It really is miles better that the first and it's genuinely funny. 8/10 for Addams Family Values.

The sequel is better than the original. Whoa, I'm not sure if I ever said that before ever but yeah, this is better than the first one but not by a large margin. What the director did was take the opportunity to sort of do a reboot. He got rid of the magical stuff, let the Addams family members interact with normal people more often, the grandmother seemed funnier and they gave us more of Anjelica Huston. I literally just finished watching the two films back to back however I started with this one because I thought it was going to be the weaker of the two. Surprised to be wrong but sort of paid the price a tad later on in my little marathon / experience / experiment. Anyway, this film is fun. Not hilarious but it has d a few moments here and there.

This is a film I've always wanted to see because I grew up watching a lot of movies in the early 1990's that were remakes of old shows and cartoons. I heard this was the best of them all, even better than the original Addams Family movie. I really do like this movie if only because of the awesome casting. I really had no idea Christopher Lloyd was in so many unique roles and he's great here as Uncle Fester. The original movie was good, but I think this one truly gives us more of an ongoing story. It's great to have this movie that further expands on the characters and stories that were established in the original movie. I just love the cool costumes and atmosphere.I'm not much of an "Addams Family" fan, but this certainly got me interested. What makes this movie is Wednesday. She steals every single scene she is in. I just love her deadpan style. I love her delivery and I really do understand the weird relationship she has with the other characters and this odd romance she has with this one kid. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. The snarkiness of this character is so entertaining. We have such a lively cast with Raul Julia in one of his last roles as Gomez. I guess the weakest part might be the story, but with all these great characters, it's hard not to like it. And again, it's authentic to the style of the original show. ***
