Summary: Ooky and Creepy but the sequel is better.
Review: Plot mechanics muddle everything in this so-so big screen version of the entertaining 60's t.v. show based on the famous New Yorker cartoons. The screenwriters have altered the original family and given us a rather ordinary predictable plot that involves an Uncle Fester imposter (Christopher Lloyd) which alters the chemistry of the well-known family. It's called fixing something that wasn't broken. They spend too much time setting up and positioning the characters.

The casting is quite good, and there are some funny moments and extremely inventive camera-work, but the script isn't sharp enough and instead of being dark, campy and clever, it's often strained and stupid.

Tops are the perfectly cast Angelica Huston, and Christini Ricci with Raul Julia being an acceptable Gomez.

The sequel Addams Family Value is much better.

Summary: "Screams in the night - it can only mean one thing"
Review: The Addams Family begins with a hearty chuckle, as a group of nauseatingly cheery carol singers are treated to a dose of Addams hospitality. The film is of course a 1990s revamp of the 1960s television series with the catchy refrain: "They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they're altogether ooky." However, the film lacks the delicate balance between finesse and crudity that marked the original; perhaps this is the result when a cult show is turned into movie fodder for the masses.

The Addams' live in a decaying mansion that boasts such attractions as a graveyard, a swamp and a vault full of money. It is this last which attracts the attention of a crooked accountant and his unscrupulous client Mrs. Craven. Their plan is to install Mrs. Craven's son Gordon in the house as 'long-lost' Uncle Fester Addams, with the purpose of gaining access to the vault. Initially Gordon is all for this plan, but once he gets to know and like the family, he undergoes a crisis of confidence and must decide where his loyalties lie.

The plot may be depressingly formulaic, but fortunately it is in the Addams' nature to be quirky. The humour is generally quite fresh and clever - who would have picked the villain's ultra-conventional wife pairing off with hirsute (and definitely unconventional) Cousin Itt? But along with the hits, there are some equally spectacular misses, including almost everything involving Grandma Addams. The other female Addams' are excellent, especially young Christina Ricci as the perpetually sullen Wednesday. Ultimately though, you have to wonder if the mysterious and macabre charm of the Addams has lost something in its modernisation, and if perhaps they should have been left to rest in peace.

Summary: the best
Review: The first Addams Family out of 3 is the best one. Usually, if there's more than one movie in a series of movies, I think the best one is the first one!! You've gotta see this. I guarantee you will enjoy it.

Summary: Please ... No More Family Reunions
Review: The Hollywood craze of re-imagining television shows from the 1950s, 60s, and early 70s was at its peak when Barry Sonnenfeld and crew tapped into the idea of remaking THE ADDAMS FAMILY. Never a great television series to begin with, the first film outing followed suit affably. Largely forgettable, the film bolstered the talents of the angelic Angelica Huston and the incomparable (late) Raul Julia. Perhaps the only bright spot on the horizon was that FAMILY made Christina Ricci a household name; her portrayal of Tuesday was the only spark in this otherwise celluloid coffin.

Move along.

Nothing to see here.

Summary: The Addams Family rules!!!
Review: This film will make you see things in a different light afterwards. Great actors - I especially like the young Christina Ricci - perform that really great and funny story. A must for people older than 12.

Summary: IS THIS GOTHICLY PERFECT.. OR WHAT!
Review: This has got to be THE funniest and most creative movie out there. It's the perfect wierd family that secretly we all want to be part of. They don't care what anyone thinks and have fun being themselves. I mean, if you think about it, they do everything exactly opposite of how we do things, and their lives are so much better. Bravo to the director, bravo to the cast. U gotta get it or at least see it. It is defenetly worth it, and it deserves way higher than a 5! It should get a 10 out of 5!

Summary: How About the TV Show TOO?
Review: This is a great adaptation..true to the original Addams one-panel cartoons, as well as the gags from the 60's TV show. I love it, but speaking of the show, how about a DVD release of both seasons of the 1960's Addams Family?

Summary: Good Movie
Review: This is a real Tim Burton style comedy, even though he had nothing what so ever to do with this movie. See this, you'll like it.
