The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This film is definitely not your typical family film, but it still mangages to be entertaining.

This movie is weird and dumb. Its somewhat entertaining, though there's nothing particularly special. All the acting is pretty flat and awkward. There's nothing here that would lead me to recommending it, watching it again, or even thinking about it. Its just forgettable.

As someone who's never seen the show that this film is based on, I can't really say that I loved this film as much as I was hoping to. Not to say that this a bad film, as i'm almost 100% certain that fans of the show would love it. But, as someone who's never seen it before, this film just didn't grab me as much. One, the character development is mediocre at best, as all anyone who hasn't seen the show sees in this film fis a family that treats everything and everyone darkly and unkindly. And the story is much more reminiscent of something you might see on TV than in a film. Which, I understand why it is this way, considering that this film is mainly for fans of the show, but still. I feel like there could've been more work put in to bring newcomers into the dark world of the Addams Family. But I feel like this film doesn't quite hit the mark, and can seem more weird and kind of tiring than entertaining for those who haven't seen the show. But, I guess this film has enough morbidly great stuff, great performances, and dedication to how the show was to make most, if not all fans of the original show happy. So I can't say that this film is bad, as it's not at all. But it would've been a lot better if it also focused on pulling in new people rather than just make a film for the fans. Then again, who am I to judge what the film makers do? If you're a fan of the show, you'll definitely enjoy this film. But if you've never seen the show, it's more recommended to watch the show first, as this film doesn't seem to have enough character development or as good of a story structure to recommend otherwise. Overall, this films alright. If I ever do watch the show and then rewatch this film and if my opinion changes, I might delete this review and rewrite it. But until then, I think this film is just alright.

The Addams Family (1991) has a well put together stylish look to it, but the script, the dialogue, and the storyline are all void of any substance whatsoever. The cast does a pretty good job and look their roles, but the script they were given to work with just doesn't measure up. Their really isn't much of a storyline, so it might be hard for some to really care that much about this TV show adaptation. The costume design was pretty well put together, and the affection and chemistry between Gomez and Morticia worked well. That was one thing I did enjoy, the on screen chemistry between all the characters really meshed well. But like I said, the plot is just boring and bland and the film gets to where it is hard to pay attention to what's going on because the plot is just so lacking. So overall, a 3/10 for The Addams Family, I will say though that the sequel is much better!
