From Amazon.co.uk: 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 it's 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 doesn't 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, it's fun to see an ideal cast reanimate an old favourite. --Tom Keogh

Awesome!: I can't believe Tim Burton didn't think of this, this is compleatly his style of movies! THIS MOVIE ROCKS! Great for everyone! this movie is a classic! if you like beetlejuice get this, if you like this get beetlejuice!
death, coffin, black rose and humour - perfect: Just amazing movie for all the times. Can watch for many times and still you wanna watch more and more of it. Anjelica Huston and Paul Julia are pale example of perfect eternal unusual, amazing, inimitable love. Christina Ricci is a perfect daughter - cold-livered deadly beauty. All actors match perfect and create "one big happy family" Everything that have to be dead - will be alive in this movie, everything that have to be alive will be dead with a smile on it's face.
The Addams Family Rocks!: I loved this movie, and I watch it every week. I am a huge Addams Family fan, so I loved the movie. Christina Ricci did much better than Nicole Fugerman, who makes a terrible Wednesday on the show, if I must say so. There are great special effects, and you will sigh dreamily at Gomez and gorgeous Morticia's undying love towards eachother. I love it!
So much fun, just like the show!: I wouldn't have bet that anyone could pull it off. The original series had such a unique and whimsical voice, I assumed that a movie maker would either overplay the feel of the film or just miss the point entirely. But Barry Sonnenfeld gets it! And the cast is top-notch. Christina Ricci is more menacing than words can express. The late Raul Julia nails the character of Gomez. Wonderful in its humor and its overall feel, this one is a keeper to enjoy over and over again.
Good Movie: This is a real Tim Burton style comedy, even though he had nothing what so ever to do with this movie. See this, you'll like it. A Short and Crappy Review by dylan.
