I love this movie so much

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The sequel, "Addams Family Values", is better though.

This not a funny movie at all. I do not know why people like this awful movie. It is not a 6.8 that is just overrating it. I give it a 4. Because the story line is awful. The hummer is sick and awful. I do not wast your time do not wast your money. See a good horror comedy like Young Frankenstein. Ghost busters is also a very good comedy. But not this movie. This movie is just awful and I do not know why people think it is funny. Ghost busters II is funny. Dracula dead and loving it is very funny. And this has got be one of the worst comedy movies from 1991.

I was a kid when "The Addams Family" came out, and my parents had to educate me on the background of the original show. But the movie stands on its own terms completely apart from the series. I love this movie based simply on its macabre sense of humor and across-the-board perfect cast; Christopher Lloyd's physical comedy, the unbelievable chemistry between Raúl Juliá and Anjelica Huston, and Christina Ricci's just adorable.But there's an undeniable charm here, some twisted wholesomeness to this family. Gomez is moneyed but devoid of avarice, Wednesday delights in trying to kill her brother (of which Morticia consistently approves) and their favorite game to play on Halloween is wake the dead (bring your own shovel). These people are all sorts of darkly likable and the movie has its fair share of solid laughs to say the least.8/10

It seems like the film industry today is using the teenage goth subculture to make fast cash, producing bad films such as Hotel Transylvania (2012), Frankenweenie remake (2012) etc. but I still prefer movies like The Addams Family, where rather than trying to make a quick buck they think more about the quality of the movie. The acting is amazing, the movie is creepy yet comedic at the same time, the soundtrack is excellent and overall this is a very enjoyable film to watch.The Addams Family is a clan of bizarre, Gothic people, from circus freaks to punks to murderers to crazy people, and the film revolves around Gomez Addams and his strange family. They live in a mansion next to a toxic waste dump on a hill secluded from the conforming suburbs of the city. Gomez has his beloved wife Morticia, his trustworthy butler Lurch, his two children Wednesday and Pugsley, Granny (Morticia's mom), and their pet human hand, Thing. Although they are extremely creepy they are kind to everyone and avoid harming people for the most part, and are happy to live together in their home.When a long-lost relative, believed to be dead, shows up at the door, Gomez is thrilled. He'd been searching for his brother Fester, a fat bald man in a trench coat, for years, while everyone assume Fester was dead. What Gomez fails to realize is that Fester is actually Gordon, a man living with his loan shark mom and they've set up a scheme, along with the Addams' sleazy lawyer Tully, to take away everything from the Addams Family.I loved The Addams Family as a kid, and I still watch it every year. I highly recommend it, along with its 1993 sequel and the television show.
