The Addams Family starring Anjelica
Huston, Jimmy Workman, Barry
Sonnenfeld
Great, Wonderful, Ecstatic!!!
Director Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black) brings his distinctly cartoonish
sensibility to this feature film version of the old Charles Addams comic
strip. Anjelica Huston was born to play Morticia Addams, matriarch of the
ghoulish Addams clan, while the late Raul Julia is a very agreeable, lusty
Gomez. But its Christina Ricci who arguably steals the show as their
stone-faced daughter, Wednesday. As is often the problem with
adaptations of comics or television shows, somehow an original story has
to be implemented that doesnt clutter things up. But clutter is an issue here
as the script gets tangled on a lame plot concerning efforts to steal the
Addams house and fortune. Still, its fun to see an ideal cast reanimate an
old favorite. --Tom Keogh
Personal Review: The Addams Family starring Anjelica Huston,
Jimmy Workman, Barry Sonnenfeld

Whenever you ask anyone that just comes to to know me for even a small
amount of time which is my favorite movie of all times, they tell you without
even hesitating: The Addams Family.
I saw this movie when I was a little girl and can proudly say even now over
15 years later it is my favorite movie.
You get black humor, sarcasm, but all in a very light way. This people (the
addams') and definetely not your next door neighbor *sighs sadly* and will
do this unbelivable stuff one will never be able to do, like electrocute your
brother, pay absolutely everything with gold dobloons, have a friend
(servant, family member ???) with consist of only a bare hand that walks
around the house etc. LOL!
All characters were cast PERFECTLY. Both Anjelica Huston and Raul
Julia seem to have been born for their roles (such a shame Raul past out
without even doing a 3rd sequel).
This is not a tipical comedy movie, nor is it a horror or dramatic movie,
however it is always fun to watch both Morticia and Gomez all over the
love they have for each other, getting over excited with "their" wheel of
torture, red hot pokers etc.
And great movie quotes:
"Gomez, last night you were unhinged, you were like some deseperate,
howling demon. You frightened me.... Do it again!" - Morticia Addams
"Don't torture yourself Gomez, that's my job" - Morticia Addams
"Children what are you doing" - Morticia Addams
"I'm going to electrecute him" - Wednesday Addams (for her brother)
"But we're late for charity auction" - Morticia Addams
"But mother" - Wednesday Addams
"I said no" - Morticia Addams
"Pleeeeaseee" - Pugsley Addams
"Oh all right" - Morticia Addams
"Look at her, I would die for her, I would kill for her, either way what bliss" -
Gomez Addams (While watching Morticia asleep)
Morticia wakes up...
"Unhappy Darling" - Gomez Addams
"Oh yes... Yes completely" - Morticia Addams
Morticia and gomez share such extreme passion over each other, yet it is
so carefully introduced on screen that any kid will perfectly be able to
watch this move and not understand what all that is about.

Anjelica looks just gorgeous (if you haven't noticed yes I'm in love with the
Anjelica Huston Morticia Addams LOL), and so does Raul.
The second movie is also good (The Addams Family Values), though I
don't get to see much of Morticia and Gomez on screen which makes me
prefer the Addams Family overall as my #1 choice!
