In ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES, Barry Sonnenfeld has performed the remarkable feat of making a sequel even more entertaining than its predecessor. The charmingly creepy Addams family (based on characters originally created by the morbid Charles Addams) have two new additions, mustachioed baby Pubert and sunny nanny Debbie Jellinsky. While Debbie (wonderfully played by Joan Cusack) charms the adults of the family, particularly Uncle Fester, the children discover that she is actually a serial killer called the Black Widow. The children are soon shipped off to summer camp as part of nanny dearest's diabolical plot. It's at Camp Chippewa that some of the funniest scenes occur, particularly one in which Wednesday tells genuinely terrifying ghost stories to the other campers and another that features both Addams children being sent the Harmony Hut as punishment for trying to escape. Sonnenfeld and production designer Ken Adams (no relation) make sure that each minute is a pleasure to look at by creating a feast of dark visions and macabre sight gags. ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES will be most enjoyed by those with a taste for flip gallows humor.

This is less a movie and more a sequence of gags set in an elongated sit-com, of which few are inspired and most too ordinary to amuse, but it has its moments.

spot on subversion
The American dream turned on its head, given a moustache and a cigar and sent off to live in a graveyard.

Rented this for old time's sake but wasn't as funny as i remember.
Tim Burton is planning to put his gothic spin on a new animated 3-D version of The Addams Family, according to a report. The kooky director has wowed audiences with his 3-D version of Lewis Carroll's classic Alice In Wonderland, which has pulled in £130.4 million during its two-week run at the box office. And Burton is hoping the groundbreaking movie technique will resurrect the spooky Addams Family, who last appeared on the big screen in 1993's Addams Family Values. According to Deadline. Read more
