Pros: Entertaining movie with a great cast Cons: Silly at times
When I was young, I remember watching The Addams Family on tv. Im pretty sure that I was seeing the reruns. The show had some very unique characters and I enjoyed it. A movie based on the tv show was made in 1989. I didnt see the movi ...

Pros: Creepy, Kooky, etc. Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, Christina Ricci Cons: Not much of a story
The Addams Family (1991) "Let's play wake the dead!" "Wake the dead! - can I play - what do I need?" "Did you bring a shovel?" This is a remake of the 1960s television series that starred John ...

Pros: good casting of Gomez, Morticia and Wednesday Cons: slow, boring, too dark in the beginning and too light at the end
The Addams Family (1991) is a combination remake. Part of it wants to give us the 1964 TV show, which became a classic in syndication. The other part wants to "go darker" - ostensibly in tribute to the original cartoons on which the TV show was based. ...

Pros: Excellence on every level of movie making. Cons: None. The franchise was only stopped by the tragic death of Raul Juila.
The Addams Family (1991) Directed by Barry Sonnefeld From characters created by Charles Addams. ”The family motto: Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc We gladly feast on those who would subdue us. Not just pretty words." ...

Pros: Ah, If I could have a husband as romantic as Gomez :) Cons: Raul Julia is now deceased.
For several years at Halloween, I have long searched for a Gomez to match my Morticia. :) To me, Gomez and Morticia Addams are one of the most romantic and passionate couples of all times.
The Addams Family shows this in great detail....

Pros: Lots of chuckles, loyal to the TV, fantastic cast Cons: Not enough hilarious moments, but still very funny. Not enough of "Cousin It" (John Franklin).
The "Addams family" are, shall I say a "unique" family. They live in a rundown, old house which might remind you of the house in the classic movie Psycho. The head of the household is "Gomez" (the late Raul Julia), his wife, whom he loves ...

Pros: Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday and Fester are well cast, trains blow up, romance, family values Cons: some of the other actors are not so good, the story could be better
This movie inspired by a TV show actually aspires to something more than a remake. The TV show ran for two seasons, starting in 1964, and the reruns were in syndication for some time. In fact, you still might be able to find it on channels like TV Land ...

Pros: the cast, the story, the twisted humor Cons: Mc Hammer's music as the soundtrack.
I watched this movie when it first came out and fell in love with the strange characters. As a youngster I thought it was all just fun and games with weird children and their parents. As an adult watching it again - I realise just HOW very bizzare this ...

Pros: A funny movie! Cons: This may not be as good as the original 1964-1966 television series, but it's okay.
In this 1991 movie, Raul Julia plays Gomez. The others, I have not a clue as to who played Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Uncle Fester, Grandmama, Lurch, or Cousin It, but they were pretty good too.
I only saw this movie once when it was out...

Pros: Nothing is off limits for them, they will do and say about anything! Cons: Those would be prisoners for there are no cons to The Addams Family!
How many of us wish that we could do all the crazy notions
that stumble through the cobwebs of our minds? How many of
us don't because of society and our fears? The Addams Family
is the perfect movie for those of us who wanna be just a...

Pros: Inerestin look, funny Cons: based on tv show
I enjoyed this movie. It was one of the only movie based on a TV show that I can think of that turned out any good... and I will be willing to bet that it will be the last. For the most part TV should stay for TV and away from the big screen. This...

Pros: Great Adaptation of the Show! Cons: --
The MischievIous Genius here with the skinny:
In The Addams Family, Barry Sonnenfeld finally brings this ghoulish gang of morbidly humorous characters to the big screen starring the late Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston. Uncle Fester (Chris...

Pros: It's a scream (pun intended). Cons: Youngest children may be lost.
The hilariously macabre antics of the Addams clan in this film are entirely true to the humor stylings of the original. And no, I'm not referring to the television series, but to the cartoon drawings by Charles Addams which ran in <em>The New...
