Two fine movies.
The children's play at camp is one of the funniest things I've seen.

~The Addams Family~
i would only rate this one 3 stars. Although the acting was great, the story's plot was weak. Fester Addams, having disappeared a long time ago, has returned to the Addams Family. Only it isn't really Fester Addams, it's an impostor trying to steal the Addams' fortune for his Mother. Well I won't go into too much detail because i'm sure you'll find a better description elsewhere, but basically the ending is very predictable and the outcome seems a bit lame. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed this movie and like to watch it every once in a while, but i think the Addams Family Values is better.
~The Addams Family Values~
The acting is just as good as it was in the Addams Family, but the storyline is a bit better. It's centered around Fester Addams again, which honestly i would prefer it not to be. Fester is by no means my favorite character, but thankfully Wednesday and Pugsley are also a center of attention here. After Morticia has her baby, Pubert(lmao), they hire a babysitter. the first few don't work out so well, but finally they find Debbie(Joan Cussack), a gold digger interested in Fester. Debbie convinces Morticia and Gomez that Wednesday and Pugsley want to go to summer camp, so that's where the two of them are for most of the movie, though we get to see them plenty. Wednesday finds her own little romance though, with another outcast (who's allergic to almost everything, so he says). It's very cute.
So anyway, I'd rate this 2-in-1 set 4 stars. By the way, i found this same set at Wal-Mart for only 9 dollars... I'm not a big walmart fan, but you might want to look there for this set before buying it here if you can.

(This is a one disk set with both movies on the same disk). The movies are great, but the only thing that bothered me is, they are not in wide-screen format as promised in the advertisements. It even says it's supposed to be wide screen on the disk itself, but its not. But the movies are the same great movies...just have to get over the full-screen formatting.
The original Addams family movie is the return of Uncle Fester who lost at sea in the bermuda triangle and finds his way home with amnesia. Though the Addams are finally reunited they are separated again with the help of a greedy real-estate agent, lone shark, and less then friendly Judge. Forced out of the comfort of their mansion the Addams must learn to live with the outside world until Fester starts to remember life with his family and they band together to fight to get everything they had back to the way it was. Every Cast Member plays their roll wonderfully enough to make you forget they're not the original cast members to the TV show.
The Addams Family Values is a sequel to the first movie with the original cast members (family members anyway...new evil characters are introduced). It starts off with Mortisha giving birth to a baby boy. With the new baby in the house Mortisha and Gomes decide to hire a nanny (Joan Cusack) who turns out to be a demented murder that agrees to marry Fester and tries to tear him apart from his family to steal the Addams Family fortune.

I cannot envision a better cast to play these roles than the ones selected in these films. Raul Julia is perfection in the role of the dashing and romantic, but easily collapsable Gomez. Angelica Huston is absolutely sublime, mysterious and seductive. Christopher Lloyd is sheer genius as Fester, bumbling and awkward but completely ghoulish. I'm so glad he didn't copy the screeching voice from the Fester in the series. I'll stop short of saying Christina Ricci stole the show, simply because both movies were so very well written, directed, cast and acted that I cannot for the life of me pick a favorite. These are two of my favorite movies of all time. There is humor in almost every line, every expression, every situation. Marvelous.

If you liked the TV show you should enjoy these. Both flicks on one disk is nice space wise. They do seem to grow on you. The more I watch'em the more I seem to like them.
