Product: The Addams Family [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 5.0
If you want a fun movie, you get a fun movie.
I am a fan of movies that can be watched for fun again and again. I find both Addams family movies (with this same cast) up there with my favorite fun movies (Princess Bride, Ferris Bueller) and they are always there to bring a smile to a boring day.Morticia and Gomez are played very well. Gomez is contagiously energetic and Morticia has such memorable lines ("Don't torture yourself Gomez, that's my job") that just seem to emit from her character. I have long been a Christina Ricci fan and she looks and plays the part to perfection as does Jimmy Workman. I am also a huge Christopher Lloyd fan and seeing him in Fester was wonderful. I do prefer Carol Kane (Princess Bride - Valerie) over this movie's grandma.This is a delightful movie that just keeps you smiling and I highly recommend it for those boring days when you just are in the mood for a "fun" movie.
