關於這部電影

愛登士家庭是對典型美國家庭的倒置諧仿。一個古怪、富有的家庭，對可怕的事物感到興趣，卻不知道人們覺得他們離奇或恐怖。最初是由愛登斯創作，150個不相關的單回漫畫，大約一半在1938年首次在《紐約人》刊登直至1988年愛登斯去世。此後曾被改編成其他媒體，包括著名的電視劇、一系列真人電影以及最近的百老匯音樂劇。

評分和評論

No. Just no. This movie is absolutely completely utterly abysmal. I only got through it all because I kept hoping it would get good. This is the opposite of the movies from the 90s, which is to say, it's horrible. This was nothing like the old movies, they had interesting plots, funny dialogue, and a lot of dark humor that I found perfectly well fit for the movie. This movie is the opposite. None of the dialogue is funny, the plot is so dull that it would be more interesting to watch a trashcan.

People seem to have gone a bit harsh on this, but I had a lot of fun with it. It was entertaining, funny, and all around quirky, much like I remembered it. I thought it was kind of cool getting to see something of a starting point for the Addams. The one thing I wasn't as keen on was the style. It had character, but may have been a little over the top for my liking. But that's only based off of my own aesthetic ideals.

The plot is as strong as the other Addams Family movies, which is to say, weak. For the '90s movies, though, it got by on the strength of its characters and dialogue, as well as the perfect cast. Here, everything is hollow. All of the characters are reminiscent of their cartoon portrayals, which is fine. But the voice actors and direction leave a lot to be desired. There are a few great lines of dialogue, but at a quip every 15 minutes, you feel like you're crawling from one to the next. The real crime is in the character interaction. The love between Morticia and Gomez, the murder plots between Wednesday and Pugsley--they only show up once, and then they're gone. The '90s films relied on the interaction of the Addams. Here, their interactions feel hollow and clash with the characters. I'm disappointed.
