The Addams Family (1991)

★★½

Director: Barry Sonnenfeld
Starring: Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd, Anjelica Huston

An impostor claiming to be Gomez's long-lost brother sets out to inherit a fortune through a swindle.


This Addams is not half bad.  All cast members are in fine form, and the production design is quite adequate.  The plot, however, falls quite flat and the feel is closer to Charles Addams's comics than the '60s TV show.
