Review – The Addams Family

This film remains true to the spirit of the original Charles Addams cartoons in that it’s largely an extended collection of amusing sight gags. Sure, there’s a loosely-woven plot in here somewhere, but it’s nowhere near as interesting as the physical humor and creepy little in-jokes. Raul Julia and Angelica Huston head up an ensemble cast that does an admirable job of playing the goofy humor with straight faces. Worth seeing
