This witty dark comedy from 1991 is a movie that will entertain people of any age and one of those very rare movies that will make you forget how old it really is.
With a great script, outstanding acting and a director that truly understood the deep complexity that made The Addams Family a world wide phenomenon, you can be sure you'll never get bored of watching this classic over and over again.
I would honestly go into details about each and every actor that made this movie what it is today, but considering that there are to many actors playing incredible roles in this movie, I can only tell you that the movie itself is the only one thing that can do them all justice.
Not bad but why waste time on a two-hour sitcom
