The Addams are an unique wealthy macabre family. Their corrupted lawyer Tully Alford (Dan Hedaya) owns money to a loan shark. Together they plot to inject a fake Uncle Fester Addams (Christopher Lloyd) into the family so he could search for the family treasure of gold Doubloons.
Barry Sonnenfeld has created a well made Gothic Addams world. The family is played by Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, and Christina Ricci as young Wednesday Addams. This is mostly amusing especially what Wednesday keep doing to Pugsley. All the performers are wonderful. They have all the fun creating these amazing characters. The whole setup is incredibly inventive.

The Addams Family are a quirky and weird bunch who reside in their haunted house, based on the comic strip; the film comes to life and brings the Gothic darkness with it.
Uncle Fester has been missing for 25 years and finally returns with 'amnesia' welcomed with open arms Fester tries to rob the Addams for his so called mother/Psychiatrist. But first he must survive with the Addams.
Raul Julia is a delight to watch on screen, he was truly a great actor; a versatile actor capable of taking on any role that was given; Angelica Huston gives a great performance and is amazing to watch, she oozes seduction. Christopher Lloyd is very funny and carries the maniac role from Back to the Future and has his fun with it, Christina Ricci and Jimmy Workman give fantastic performances as the kids that scare the living daylights out of babysitters. Lurch was brilliant just standing around. Although he could have been given a little more screen time.
This is one film that I always have time for, it is brilliant directed and gives me the goosebumps the moment the titles roll; the Gothic setting only adds to the attraction, the film is very funny and has a brilliant script with some great bonding between Fester and Gomez.
One of the greatest kids movie of all time.
