Addams Family Values (DVD)It's love at first fright when Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) welcome a new addition to the Addams household -- Pubert, their soft, cuddly, mustachioed baby boy. As Fester (Christopher Lloyd) falls hard for voluptuous nanny Debbie Jilinksy (Joan Cusack), Wednesday (Chr istina Ricci) and Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) discover she's a black-widow m urderess who plans to add Fester to her collection of dead husbands. The family's future grows even bleaker when the no-good nanny marries Feste r and has the kids shipped off to summer camp. But Wednesday still has a Thing or two up her sleeve... With gags and ghouls galore, Addams Fa mily Values is "screamingly funny!" (Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview)]]> Review: Funny & Awesome - Funny and awesome movie Review: A worthy sequel to an excellent film. - This takes everything the great first film did, adds a great new story, and creates a perfect sequel. There's obviously a lot of cheesyness (just like the first one and maybe it's just nostalgia watching a movie from childhood), but it works. The main casts performances are again spectacular, and Joan Cusack is a great addition as a "Black Widow" type of killer. They could've written off the Addams kids as a minor side story, but the camp scenes only enhance the evolution of the children's characters and are a key part of the joy of watching this film. Both the Addams Family movies are great adaptions of old TV shows, although I have no point of reference to the original, since it came out decades before I was around. But most movies I've seen in my life of old TV shows (usually never even heard of the shows, let alone seen them) tend to be horrible. This one's a must watch.

A worthy sequel to an excellent film.
This takes everything the great first film did, adds a great new story, and creates a perfect sequel. There's obviously a lot of cheesyness (just like the first one and maybe it's just nostalgia watching a movie from childhood), but it works.

Great fun.....
While I did see the first Addams family feature, this one was far funnier as Fester becomes a love-sick suitor to a murderous Nanny who marries and murders her husband for money.The kids are wonderful and Christina Ricci steals the show as Wednesday with her dead pan style delivery. She takes delight in including the new Baby in some rather nefarious games but as it turns out, little Pubert can handle himself well and indeed saves his entire family from electrocution by playing with the cables just as murderous Debbie throws the switch. The scene at summer camp is also a blast, as Wednesday leads the other outcasts of the camp into an Indian style take over of the Camp Director's play. It's a crazy madcap movie that makes the Addams family a delight to visit.

Great Sequel
A great sequel to The Addams Family. This one is as good if not better than the first, which is usually not the case. Raul Julia and Angelica Huston are both awesome. I love where they are admiring the new baby and Raul Julia says "He has my Father's eyes." Then Angelica Huston says "Gomez, take those out of his mouth!" Classic! Or when Morticia says "My Baby's sick and my Husband's dying . . . what will I do?" Grandma quickly comes back with "Well, you've got a black dress."

Fun Movie
I had the pleasure of sharing this movie with my kids over the summer. It is a great introduction to the "Dark Comedy" genre. We have really enjoyed it. It was delivered in good condition and on time. Thank you!

...any more
OK--here's the deal. the movie operates at about this level: Wednesday and Pugsley have ben trying to kill each other because of the new baby. They believe that when a new baby comes in, one of the extant kids has to go. And I mean: "GO." These attempts get everyone's attentions, so a family meeting happens. Grandma Addams: Why are you trying to kill each other? W and P look furtively at each other, but they say nothing. GA: Well, why are you doing it? W and P still furtive. GA: Is it because you believe that if a new baby comes in, we have to get rid of one of you? W and P guiltily look at each other, then start to nod, tentatively. GA: No! Oh no! That's..not..true!! That's just not true. Any more. Me? I saw it on a plane and almots fell off my seat. Maybe I'm just simple, but I thought it was hilarious. And I'm not a big Addams family fan.

Unique fun!
I grew up with the original black and white TV show, so I suppose I had the advantage to get some of the humor a newcomer might miss, but there was plenty of new stuff anyway, so everyone should love this movie.

Halloween isn't the same without Addams Family Values.
Halloween isn't the same without Addams Family Values. I ordered this for Halloween and because my new significant other and I share an inside joke about he Addams Family tango as being "our song". LOL!!! I had to own the movie that created the joke. The movie arrived as promised; brand new and I watched it the same night (10-7-14). Thank you AMAZON!!!!
