Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

invisibleunicornninja This movie is weird and dumb. Its somewhat entertaining, though there's nothing particularly special. All the acting is pretty flat and awkward. There's nothing here that would lead me to recommending it, watching it again, or even thinking about it. Its just forgettable.

jacobjohntaylor1 This not a funny movie at all. I do not know why people like this awful movie. It is not a 6.8 that is just overrating it. I give it a 4. Because the story line is awful. The hummer is sick and awful. I do not wast your time do not wast your money. See a good horror comedy like Young Frankenstein. Ghost busters is also a very good comedy. But not this movie. This movie is just awful and I do not know why people think it is funny. Ghost busters II is funny. Dracula dead and loving it is very funny. And this has got be one of the worst comedy movies from 1991.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Addams Family" is an American 95-minute movie from 1991, so this one has its 25th anniversary this year. The director is Barry Sonnenfeld and the characters are based on the work of Charles Addams. This movie was nominated for an Oscar in the costume category where it lost to Bugsy and Anjelica Huston was nominated for a Golden Globe where she lost to Bette Midler. So you already hear that Oscar winner Huston is in here, but there are more known names such as Christopher Lloyd (BttF), the late Raul Julia or the very young Christina Ricci, which means the cast is pretty exquisite. But no matter how colorfully they play their roles, this film is eventually just about the whole styles, costumes and sets as well as makeup really. It's about a family of undead and we see them during their everyday life as well as during their not so everyday life. There are many references about torture and murder in there, but it is all pretty funny and light. This film is a comedy fantasy movie and there is no intention from anybody to make this look like a horror film despite the protagonists.In my opinion, this was not really a good watch. Maybe it was okay by the standards back then, but I must say by today's standards the film has not aged well at all. This refers to the story mostly that I just did not find interesting or entertaining at all. It all felt very gimmicky and just one scene follows the next where the filmmakers tried to entertain the audience in a slightly shocking fashion, but there is no coherent plot in this movie despite the filmmakers trying pretty hard sometimes to achieve such. They weren't successful. Here and there, there was a somewhat memorable line (quote) or scene, but it was just not enough, neither in terms of quality, not in terms of quantity. Addams died a couple years before this film came out, but I somehow don't feel he really would have appreciated the outcome here. It is fairly underwhelming in my opinion. It is not a complete failure by any means, but looking at how popular and known the film's title still is today and how the characters are somewhat known too (especially Ricci's and Huston's), I was very unimpressed. The comedy also becomes repetitive fairly quickly. Thumbs down from me and I do not recommend the watch.

mellowd9 This isn't that great of a movie. The plot is incredibly disjointed, although in the end the movie is charming as all get out. Also, god-damn these characters are lovable! Especially our Queen and Princess of Darkness. Morticia and Wednesday. Anjelica and Christiana killed it. Looking forward to checking out the sequel! It looks like it focuses a bit more on the kids, specifically Wednesday. She's the most intriguing of the characters. At least, in my opinion.I think I'll have to check out Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands after Addams' Family Values! I'm a sucker for these ghoulish, darkly comedic characters. Can't get enough of them.
