Konterr Brilliant and touching
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
elainehowie This film is definitely not your typical family film, but it still mangages to be entertaining.
vishnu-dileep08 This movie is based on some con-artists who plan to steal the wealth of an eccentric family by claiming to be the long lost uncle.The plot of this movie was an average as we have seen many movies with this sort of stories but keep in mind this movie was released on the year 1991 and yes there was fantasy, there were lots to laugh in this movie from time to time. But I still feel it could have been made better. There was some really exceptional acting by everyone in this movie with great BGM and music from time to time.YES I would recommend people to give this movie a shot.My Rating 6/10
Davis P The Addams Family (1991) has a well put together stylish look to it, but the script, the dialogue, and the storyline are all void of any substance whatsoever. The cast does a pretty good job and look their roles, but the script they were given to work with just doesn't measure up. Their really isn't much of a storyline, so it might be hard for some to really care that much about this TV show adaptation. The costume design was pretty well put together, and the affection and chemistry between Gomez and Morticia worked well. That was one thing I did enjoy, the on screen chemistry between all the characters really meshed well. But like I said, the plot is just boring and bland and the film gets to where it is hard to pay attention to what's going on because the plot is just so lacking. So overall, a 3/10 for The Addams Family, I will say though that the sequel is much better!
TheBlueHairedLawyer It seems like the film industry today is using the teenage goth subculture to make fast cash, producing bad films such as Hotel Transylvania (2012), Frankenweenie remake (2012) etc. but I still prefer movies like The Addams Family, where rather than trying to make a quick buck they think more about the quality of the movie. The acting is amazing, the movie is creepy yet comedic at the same time, the soundtrack is excellent and overall this is a very enjoyable film to watch.The Addams Family is a clan of bizarre, Gothic people, from circus freaks to punks to murderers to crazy people, and the film revolves around Gomez Addams and his strange family. They live in a mansion next to a toxic waste dump on a hill secluded from the conforming suburbs of the city. Gomez has his beloved wife Morticia, his trustworthy butler Lurch, his two children Wednesday and Pugsley, Granny (Morticia's mom), and their pet human hand, Thing. Although they are extremely creepy they are kind to everyone and avoid harming people for the most part, and are happy to live together in their home.When a long-lost relative, believed to be dead, shows up at the door, Gomez is thrilled. He'd been searching for his brother Fester, a fat bald man in a trench coat, for years, while everyone assume Fester was dead. What Gomez fails to realize is that Fester is actually Gordon, a man living with his loan shark mom and they've set up a scheme, along with the Addams' sleazy lawyer Tully, to take away everything from the Addams Family.I loved The Addams Family as a kid, and I still watch it every year. I highly recommend it, along with its 1993 sequel and the television show.
