When long-lost Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) reappears after 25 years in the Bermuda Triangle, Morticia (Anjelica Huston) and Gomez (Raul Julia) ecstatically begin plans for a celebration that will wake the dead. Meanwhile, an evil lawyer is plotting ways to get at the ghoulish family’s fortunes--which are stashed somewhere within a secret vault inside the family mansion. Only the Addams’s daughter, Wednesday, played by the brilliant and stunningly stoic Christina Ricci, and the Addams’s detached hand servant, Thing, suspect that something rotten is afoot. But can they prove anything before the vault is found and the Addams family is plunged into poverty? THE ADDAMS FAMILY is not only the cartoon and television family’s film premiere but is also the directorial debut of talented cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld. It has a winningly dark sense of humor that manages to be both lighthearted and macabre.

Here's another recommendation for THE ADDAMS FAMILY. It's not the greatest movie of all time, but it's worth the matinee price. I couldn't imagine ahead of time what sort of plot they might give us, but it really wasn't too bad. There *is* a plot, but it's not the important thing here. Don't see this movie for the plot. Sit back and enjoy the good performances.
