Summary: If you liked the Frankenstein movies, this film is for you.
Review: Funny and handsomely made movie by Barry Sonnenfeld, based on the comic strip by Charles Adams, and starring a cast of delightful actors who appear to have had a fun time making this movie.Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, and Christopher Lloyd all play the Addams Family, in character, and how so many fans have come to know them over the years.

Summary: Wickedly Funny! Devishly Entertaining!
Review: I have alway's been a fan of The Addam's Family TV show of the 1960's & when the movie came out in 91 I thought it was just another lousey re-make of an old TV classic. By time it came on video something inside me was urging me to rent it. I did and it was worth every penny I spent, I liked it so much I bought it when I took the movie back.

The cast gives suberb performances especially Christina Ricci who, in my opinoin, stole the show from the rest of the cast. Angelica Houston, Raul Julia, & Christopher Lloyd also gave outstanding performances. The story is quite simple, Gomez (Julia) is still searching for his long lost brother Fester. When a greedy woman & her son get hold of the story & hear about the Addams' fortune she decides to dress her son up as Fester to get hold of the family fortune. Some of the most funny parts are watching Wendsday & Pugsly "play" with their electric chairs & butcher knives. A MUST SEE!

Summary: If you want a fun movie, you get a fun movie.
Review: I am a fan of movies that can be watched for fun again and again. I find both Addams family movies (with this same cast) up there with my favorite fun movies (Princess Bride, Ferris Bueller) and they are always there to bring a smile to a boring day.

Morticia and Gomez are played very well. Gomez is contagiously energetic and Morticia has such memorable lines ("Don't torture yourself Gomez, that's my job") that just seem to emit from her character. I have long been a Christina Ricci fan and she looks and plays the part to perfection as does Jimmy Workman. I am also a huge Christopher Lloyd fan and seeing him in Fester was wonderful. I do prefer Carol Kane (Princess Bride - Valerie) over this movie's grandma.

This is a delightful movie that just keeps you smiling and I highly recommend it for those boring days when you just are in the mood for a "fun" movie.

Summary: Goulish and Funny at the same time
Review: This movie is fairly faithful to the Adams Family comic strip and esacpes the more camppy elements that the television show had. Look closely at the next door neighbor who lives across the street from the Adams Mansion. The actor is Paul Benedict, who played Mr. Bentley on the Jeffersons.

Summary: Did you love the TV series? You'll love the movie!
Review: This is one of those rare movies with perfect casting! The movie stays true to the spirit of the TV show. The only complaint (though it's not really a complaint....), this is one of those movies that just screams to have lots of outtakes included on the DVD!

Summary: A triumphant return for the Addams family
Review: A treat for all fans of the popular sixties sitcom. This new cast (all but John Astin who played Gomez are now deceased) featuring Angelica Huston, Christopher Lloyd, and the late Raul Julia do the film and the Addams characters great justice. As the song says: "They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they're all together hooky, the Addams family." It's very funny entertainment not just for Halloween, but all year long!

Summary: CREEPY,SPOOKY FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Review: Barry Sonnefeld does GREAT job directing this film based on the characters of cartoonist Charles Addams and the classic 1960s TV series. Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, and Christopher Lloyd give SUPERB performances in their roles of 'MORTICIA', 'GOMEZ', and 'UNCLE FESTER'. The roles made famous in the TV series by Carolyn Jones, John Astin and Jackie Coogan.

Summary: Clever and Ghoulish
Review: I can say this much...Christina Ricci. Enough said right there, but I might also mention it's not nearly as lame as the T.V. versions or the pathetic Munsters. Did I mention Christina Ricci?

Summary: BEST MOVIE!!!
Review: I LOVE TAF!!! I'm starting an 'Anjelica Huston tape collection', and TAF movies and The Wicthes started it off. This movie is well acted, the plot's fabulous, and the writing's great. Heck, even the SOUNDTRACK'S great! I still remember coming out of the theater when I was six and having my Dad tell me that 'the lady that played Morticia also played the Grand High Witch in The Witches', and for some reason I thought she had died. Speaking of that, we'll miss Raul Julia greatly. They were going to make a 3rd movie, but when he died in 1994, they made the Addams Family Reunion which I HAVEN'T forced myself to watch yet (Daryl Hannah's... a *perky* person!) but I will some day so that I can laugh at it. =) ADDAMS FAMILY RULES!!!
