I reckon central casting could have searched for

I reckon central casting could have searched for an hundred years and never cast a better "Morticia" than Anjelica Huston in this enjoyable big screen adaptation of the television series. Happily married to "Gomez" (another inspired casting choice in Raul Julia), they live their nocturnally focussed lives with children "Pugsley" (Jimmy Workman),"Wednesday" (an almost unrecognisable Christina Ricci) and stoic, eight-foot tall, butler "Lurch" (Carer Struycken) in their Gothic mansion. Their idyllic existence is put under threat, though, when their erstwhile kindly uncle "Fester" (Christopher Lloyd) is duped by a couple of arch-cons to try and claim their family fortune - and home - and thus render them broke and homeless. Now, can "Gomez" thwart this cunning plan before his family are actually reduced to sleeping in graves - for real? The casting, writing and direction from a top-of-his game Barry Sonnenfeld make for an entertaining spoof of all thing macabre whilst still extolling a semblance of family virtues and loyalty - told in real time and using some amiable flashbacks from when they were all "younger". The visual effects are understated and effective - especially regarding their loyal retainer that is the disembodies "hand" and the script allows Lloyd in particular, but all in general to deliver a dialogue that raises a smile without raising an eyebrow. This is great fun and on a big screen, well worth a watch.

A tonally loyal adaptation of the 60's TV

A tonally loyal adaptation of the 60's TV show. Some nonsensical moments and lacklustre scenes but Huston and Julia steal the thing with such fervour you can't help but enjoy yourself at least a little. _Final rating:★★★ - I personally recommend you give it a go._

Uncle Fester appears to have come home after a long period of absence, but is he an imposter?This is a pretty good comedy with great performances, a decent amount of jokes and some memorable scenes.The plot is for me the weakest aspect of the movie, but it gets us from start to finish and importantly allows for the characters and their actors to shine as much as possible.I enjoy the visuals which are very atmospheric, entertaining and technically well done. The cinematography and editing is excellent with lots of great shot compositions and lively camera movement. One of my favourite moments is the dance between Gomez and Morticia in the dark empty ballroom that superbly transitions mid dip to the actual ball in full swing.The production design is perfect for the tone of the film with wonderful set design in the Addams house, along with great costumes and props.It is the acting that gives it the extra quality, with Raúl Juliá on fantastic form as Gomez and Angelica Huston perfect as Morticia. Christina Ricci shows glimpses of the quality to come in her great Addams Family Values performance.
