Movie Reviews of The Addams Family / Addams Family Values
Movie Review: These have aged well!
Summary: 5 Stars
When these came out over 15 years ago they were very much mainstream events that seemed a bit over-hyped, and perhaps not as funny as you hoped. But either the world has changed, or surely I have, because they now seem witty and utterly hilarious. Perhaps I was looking for a goth-fest in the manner of Tim Burton at the time, but when you accept and engage with these now as black comedy spectacles, you will have the time of your life (at least I have). It's amazing now to see Carol Kane, virtually unrecognizable as Morticia's mother, and Raul Julia in prime form, sadly now deceased. The charismatic performances of Christina Ricci have proved to be everlasting, not flashes in the pan. Anjelica Huston eats up the screen, whenever Christopher Lloyd isn't stealing it away. This is a perfect double-feature. Please enjoy them.
Summary of The Addams Family / Addams Family Values
The addams family & addams family values on one disc Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 08/08/2006 Starring: Anjelica Huston Christopher Lloyd Run time: 193 minutes Rating: Pg13The Addams Family
Director 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
The Addams Family Values
This somewhat more cohesive follow-up to The Addams Family has the same director, Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black), but a better story line. Joan Cusack plays a busty gold digger who ingratiates herself into the Addams home and convinces Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) that she wants to marry him. Besides Lloyd, the cast includes Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia, ideal as those Bront?an lovers, Morticia and Gomez. But Christina Ricci again walks away with the best moments as the chilly Wednesday Addams, making life miserable for two camp counselors (Peter MacNicol and Christine Baranski) who want her to fit in with other kids.--Tom Keogh
