Review:
The world's most loved family in the world. Based upon the ancient television programme, this horror spoof has received worldwide fame and has become a cult.

The story is about The Addam's family who live in happily in a spooky house with lots of money. The family are very strange but they seem somehow to be accepted by society. An ambitious group of people try to steal there money but so far they have not succeeded until they dress up one of them to look like Gomez's (Julia) long lost brother (Lloyd) and Gomez is tricked. Overtime the trick is found out but the family are left homeless until it is discovered that he was really his brother Uncle Fester and the family fight back and everything is fine again.

I liked the way that there were so many well developed characters and interesting storylines. I believe the relationship between Gomez and Mortisha was hilarious and the "games" the children played were... interesting. Overall a great light-hearted film for all the family.

Best Dialogue:
Wednesday: Pass the salt
Morticia: What do you say?
Wednesday: NOW!
