There really is not definitive "Addams Family" when it comes to films and TV. Reviewed by MartinHafer 6 / 10 NOT to be confused with the television Addams Family. Full credit must be given to the writer and director for bringing this family to life in a way that just cannot be repeated. They simply do not make films like this anymore. This film's dark humor is family appropriate - cartoon violence, no nudity and marginal language. She can do drama ("Monster", "Black Snake Moan") but will always be America's goth girl. Sure, it possibly typecast her into weird roles ("Casper", "Sleepy Hollow", "Pumpkin") but this is, beyond a doubt, where she fits. This was a breakout performance for Christina Ricci (playing Wednesday Addams). Raul Julia in the performance of his career, and Christopher Lloyd in a very offebeat role even for him.
However, this film excels in every way: macabre, humorous and just plain eccentrically absurd. But can the fake Fester survive the family's maniacal games? I don't have much experience with older incarnations of the Addams Family. But lo and behold, their lawyer knows a man who resembles Fester and if he passes the impostor off, could gain access to the family vault, full of treasures untold. It's a doozie!

Plus, the Sonnenfeld Get Shorty connection is alive from our episode on the film, and we get to follow up with a quick chat about the show, now on Amazon Prime. We spend a good chunk of our talk covering (& quoting) the knockout, brilliant script by Paul Rudnick, and Sonnenfeld's exquisite storytelling, but we also lavish attention on the top notch cast, and will probably go to our graves doing our best impressions of Raul Julia's fantastic swagger. In the spirit of the still spooky season, we have the perfect Thanksgiving episode, and a blast, discussing Barry Sonnenfeld's wicked Addams Family Values from 1993.
