Movie Reviews of The Addams Family
Movie Review: 'Fun' Is The Best Adjective
Summary: 4 Stars
I think "fun" is the adjective most people would use in describing this film, which appealed to kids and adults. Of course, many adults remember the television series, and probably checked this out, too.
Angelica Huston certainly didn't match Carolyn Jones' beauty but she, along with Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd and Christina Ricci all were entertaining to watch. There certainly were no end to the colorful characters, unique scenes and dialog, special-effects and active surround sound. It all made for an entertaining and fast-moving film.
I didn't find a lot of laugh-out-loud moments but it did bring a lot of smiles to my face. A lot of this is dark humor, so it helps to appreciate that type of comedy.
Summary of The Addams Family
Gomez morticia and their ghoulish household are prey to a scam involving long-lost uncle fester. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 08/23/2005 Starring: Anjelica Huston Jimmy Workman Run time: 102 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Barry SonnenfeldDirector Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black) brings his distinctly cartoonish sensibility to this feature film version of the old Charles Addams comic strip. Anjelica Huston was born to play Morticia Addams, matriarch of the ghoulish Addams clan, while the late Raul Julia is a very agreeable, lusty Gomez. But it's Christina Ricci who arguably steals the show as their stone-faced daughter, Wednesday. As is often the problem with adaptations of comics or television shows, somehow an original story has to be implemented that doesn't clutter things up. But clutter is an issue here as the script gets tangled on a lame plot concerning efforts to steal the Addams' house and fortune. Still, it's fun to see an ideal cast reanimate an old favorite. --Tom Keogh
