The Addams Family (DVD) Reviews

This is one of those weird films that is good, but you wouldn't really want to see it more than once! It is about the eccentric, gothic Addams family. A con-man tries to take their money by pretending to be Uncle Fester, but has bitten off more than he can chew with this family. Well, in terms of plot, this is an interesting enough ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room The Addams Family is a cracking rendition of the classic American TV series, and brings it back to living, breathing life for a new generation with some great costume and set design, and a slew of spirited performances. The film opens as Gomez (Raúl Juliá, in one of ...  Read the complete review

The Addams family DVD, a family comedy of a dark and twisted nature. Meet the eccentric family the Addams family. This film was first released in 1991 and based on the stories by Charles Addams. The blissfully unhappy lives of Gomez and Morticia Addams are thrown into disarray when imposters try to indroduce a fake Uncle Fester so they can get ...  Read the complete review

The 1991 film version of the Addams Family was the adaptation of the original TV series which itself was based on Charles Addams syndicated newspaper cartoon series. With the TV series known by so many people and the characters look, personality and actions so well known it was difficult to see how they could match the original let alone beat it. ...  Read the complete review

I love this film because of the dark nature to the humour. I never saw he original balck and white TV show until after I had seen this film and the films are much better, then again it was done fora different audience so you cannot compare the two. The Addams Family are a creepy bunch of strange people who live in a big house and are ...  Read the complete review

Oh, how I do wish that the Addams family lived next door to us! This wonderful family moved from a weekly television programme to this full length film in 1991. The TV show had been on in the 1960’s and was very popular with everybody at that time. The film has become a bit of a classic as it recaptures all of our favourite ...  Read the complete review

This 1991 film in an all time classic in my opinion. The films popularity is clear to note – cause as soon as they released this one they commissioned the sequel straight away – ADDAM’S FAMILY VALUES (another classic film might I add) This weird but wonderful family first hit our televisions screens many years ago ...  Read the complete review

I always saw The Addams Family television show as being a poor relation to the much better Munsters show. However, it is The Addams Family which has made it onto the silver screen whilst The Munsters carries on languishing back in the sixties, to be re-run on channel 4 at 5am during the next school holiday. I have to say that this bias was ...  Read the complete review

This movie was average. I did nothing for me. Everything was average. The actors were average. The acting was average. The story line was average. The jokes were average. The setting was average. The opening was average. The middle was average. The ending was average. I even bet that the sandwiches on the set that the cast and crew had for lunch ...  Read the complete review

Watch out folks, its time to meet the family...theyre freaky, theyre full of spooky surprises...theyre the Adams family. Those outrageous inlaws scream onto the screen to create hilarious havok on a spine tingling tale of wicked pranks and ghoolish games. Theres romantic rascal Gomez {Raul Julia},flirtatious fanciful vamp ...  Read the complete review

The Addams Family was released in 1991 and was such a hit that they immediately commissioned a sequel, Addam's Family Values. Whereas the original black and white TV shows (and the new 90s version) were played for slapstick laughs, this film's humour is as black as night, as dry as a bone and all the better for it. There are lots ...  Read the complete review

I was always a fan of the TV show, (and not because I look like Wednesday Addams either!) but when I heard that they were going to bring out a film version, I didn't know if they were going to make a hash of the series, well... I was wrong! Anjelica Huston was born to play Morticia Addams, mother of the ghoulish Addams clan, while the ...  Read the complete review

This film is an all-time classic dating well back into the good ole days. Either way it is a film still worth-watching even in the millenium after it was released. The idea of the Addams family is unique and one of the funniest plots I have ever seen. In terms of originality the Adams family stands in a league of its own. In terms of humour then ...  Read the complete review

Most of you probably didn't even know they had a TV series before this, but they did. Inspired by the Charles Addams cartoons, the film looks a treat and the cast, headed by Raul; Julia, Anjelica Huston and the grave, precociously talented Christina Ricci, could hardly be better. But the plot and dialogue would be more suited to a thirty ...  Read the complete review

They're creepy and they're kooky, they're all together ooky, Da de da do da something that rhymes with ooky, the addams family. Ok ok, so i don't kniw the third line, is that a crime! This follow up to the series is quite good. Raul Julia is good as gomez, Christina Ricci is excellent as wednesday and Christopher Lloyd is brilliant ...  Read the complete review

Much better than the television show starring John Astin, this movie is a top shelf item for me simply because of Raul Julia and Angelica Huston in the starring roles of Gomez and Morticia in this film about a loveable, but unusual family. What a wacky and backwards family, you can't help but love them. A great moment in this film was ...  Read the complete review
