From Amazon.co.uk
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 favourite. --Tom Keogh

No More Family Reunions, Jun 19 2002 By  Edward Lee "ncc1205" - See all my reviews This review is from: Addams Family, the (VHS Tape) The Hollywood craze of re-imagining television shows from the 1950s, 60s, and early 70s was at its peak when Barry Sonnenfeld and crew tapped into the idea of remaking THE ADDAMS FAMILY. Never a great television series to begin with, the first film outing followed suit affably. Largely forgettable, the film bolstered the talents of the angelic Angelica Huston and the incomparable (late) Raul Julia. Perhaps the only bright spot on the horizon was that FAMILY made Christina Ricci a household name; her portrayal of Tuesday was the only spark in this otherwise celluloid coffin. Move along. Nothing to see here. Was this review helpful to you?
