Product Description

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

Such a good film, a classic for me! It's definitely one for the collection. I wish I lived with The Addams Family!

Format:VHS Tape
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.

Just amazing movie for all the times. Can watch for many times and still you wanna watch more and more of it.
Anjelica Huston and Paul Julia are pale example of perfect eternal unusual, amazing, inimitable love. Christina Ricci is a perfect daughter - cold-livered deadly beauty. All actors match perfect and create "one big happy family"
Everything that have to be dead - will be alive in this movie, everything that have to be alive will be dead with a smile on it's face.

Good Movie
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.

A Worthy Successor To The 60's TV Show
A near-worthy successor, to be more exact. The 1991 remake of the classic 60's series was taken into the hands of director Barry Sonnenfield (Men In Black films). Read more
