Apparently after the first Addams Family movie the geniuses in Hollywood figured out what a hot property they had in young Christina Ricci. So they gave her a much bigger part in the sequel, sending Wednesday and Pugsley off to camp for some of funniest moments in the film. Otherwise this is pretty much just a recycled version of the first one, with the plot driven by family problems caused by Fester (here spurred on by a would-be-husband-killer played by the ever-adorable Joan Cusack). Sadly, there will probably be no more Addams movies; Christina Ricci is now too old, and Raul Julia is too dead. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
