Christina Ricci shows glimpses of the quality to come in her great Addams Family Values performance. It is the acting that gives it the extra quality, with Raúl Juliá on fantastic form as Gomez and Angelica Huston perfect as Morticia. The production design is perfect for the tone of the film with wonderful set design in the Addams house, along with great costumes and props. The youngest daughter has some doubts about the new uncle Fester, but the fake uncle adapts very well to the strange family. An evil doctor finds out and introduces a fake Fester in an attempt to get the Addams Familys money. Uncle Fester has been missing for 25 years. One of my favourite moments is the dance between Gomez and Morticia in the dark empty ballroom that superbly transitions mid dip to the actual ball in full swing. The Addams Family Movie Weird Is Relative. The cinematography and editing is excellent with lots of great shot compositions and lively camera movement. I enjoy the visuals which are very atmospheric, entertaining and technically well done. The plot is for me the weakest aspect of the movie, but it gets us from start to finish and importantly allows for the characters and their actors to shine as much as possible. All in all, Addams Family Values toes-the-line of screwball and satire rather well and makes this sequel to a movie no one asked for completely worth a rewatch and a conversation.Uncle Fester appears to have come home after a long period of absence, but is he an imposter? This is a pretty good comedy with great performances, a decent amount of jokes and some memorable scenes. While the episode itself might get a bit hyperbolic about the movie’s “wokeness”, Blake and Josh hail the exceptional characters, perfectly weighted gallows humor, and oddly exceptional use of the Addams Family to make incisive class-centric commentary. Enlisting the help of Blake Collier, they set out to find an explanation for why this movie is so great, doesn’t feel dated, and also one of the more progressive comedies of the 1990’s. Leave it to Josh to pick a non-scary movie for October, but he tries his best by picking a horror-adjacent movie in the 1993 Barry Sonnenfeld movie, Addams Family Values.
