  For me this sequel didn't quite hit the mark and I just can't pin point why to be honest. All the cast return so continuity is fine accept for the character of 'Granny' and this time the family have a two new members in the form of 'Baby Pubert' and 'Debbie' the psychopathic widow who goes from one man to the next. I didn't really like the story choice for this film as it centres on 'Fester' again just like the first, maybe they could of used another character or a couple together perhaps, I also never really liked the baby premise as it tends to lean to much towards childish slapstick. The plot line about the black widow 'Debbie Jellinsky' wasn't too bad and did recover some more dark undertones but I think it should of been used with 'Gomez' maybe, plus I didn't really like Joan Cusack's performance. Unfortunately that's what we got, allot of silly childish slapstick and baby humour all centred around 'Pubert', yes it was still ghoulish and macabre but it really stooped for the kids. Things got better with 'Pugsley' and 'Wednesday' at their summercamp which introduced us to the allergic Jewish boy 'Joel Glicker' played wonderfully by David Krumholtz. The whole sub plot here was really quite funny and more devilish with the sinister camp leaders played eerily by Peter MacNicol and Christine Baranski and their 'harmony hut' torture hehe its a shame the whole film couldn't keep this tone of black humour throughout. Again the film does look lovely in terms of costume and sets with more natty quirky visual effects and bizarre camera angles which add to the kookyness hehe. I think this film just went that touch over the top, just a hint off the wall which made it feel a bit too much like a live action cartoon at times.

  <b><i>"Marvelous news, I'm going to have a baby.....right now!"</i></b></p> This was definitely funnier than the first one. So many hilarious dialogues that made me laugh. And I love Wednesday Addams (Christina Ricci). She was the best one in this movie. I love her blank look. And also the way she talks. It was very mature for her age. I love this weird family. Actually, I think they were the sane ones if I compare them with the camp people. And the baby looked pretty unnatural. At first I thought it was a plastic robot baby (lol). I really recommend this to watch. You'll have a great time if you watch this. At least I did. <a href="http://s1039.photobucket.com/albums/a471/3niR/?action=view&current=addams.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a471/3niR/addams.jpg" border="0" alt="Addams Family"></a>

  The sequel is slightly better than the first, but only just. This one is certainly funnier.

• Dean !

  
  A pretty good gothic comedy with some good gags. Similar to The Munsters TV series.

  Eh....

  I loved the first installment of this series and I am sure there would have been more had Raul Julia not died. This time around we get Joan Cusack thrown into the mix and she does a great job. This movie and the first pay true homage to the series.

  me likey, bigtime

  Better than the first movie. I loved the little baby. Joan Cusack's plot to woo Fester's love was a great one. Wednesday and Pugsley made the movie for me, with their attempts to hurt the new baby and their rebellious behaviour when they get sent to summer camp.

  I just smashed my thumb in the door. This is my reward for hanging out my wet clothes on the clothesline so late at night. The blood is swelling. An elliptical reddish blister is forming underneath the nail. The thumb feels like it's a float for the Thanksgiving Day parade. Social evolutionism is a lie. At least, it feels like a seethingly remarkable joke sometimes, as clueless as everybody usually is. The geography of society feels like a series of plateaus, disconnected, and I seriously question whether there is any ascension whatsoever that goes on. For four (of five) years in college I pretended that I was okay with my surroundings and simply let various crap hit various fans and held out my umbrella. I 'adapted' insofar as I greeted college life with a head full of apathy and a mug full of beer (social progress doesn't count if everybody's drunk). My non-active approach transformed into a dangerous digression when I finally realized that I'd been suckered. So, I mutated. I became my own alternate evolution. I goodbye'd and good riddance'd the remaining suckers and their plateaus and haven't turned back since. Except, when I have to confront these suckers again. I met up with friends tonight I hadn't seen in a while. They were late. I enjoyed a pint and played checkers with myself for nigh thirty minutes until they showed. I won. Both times. I quickly wondered why I ever let them in on the checkers. One guy called me an "Emo kid," because of my rings and bracelets and longer hair. Heh. Something about preposterous labels for things we clearly don't know much about. Veiled in seethingly remarkable humor, of course. The 'hang out' degenerated to a point where we were discussing horrible hand injuries about us and people we know (it's amazing I didn't sense the foreboding, especially in my thumb), stories that usually make me grimace, but with each blow of shuddering repulsion, I rolled off the "eww" and wanted more. The fascination of grossness seized me. I was starving for something from these jokers, and the odyssey of female conquests they were spewing just wasn't cutting it. It's the same damn story on skip, transitioned with that high-five kind of laughter. Family, however, is a far greater threat to your being. I think family is designed to hasten your self-destruction. The social implications family represents to your island of social sanity is Krakatoa-esque. Man, they can be a bear. So, my brother accused me of being gay. Joking, of course, but sort of not. Because I live in San Francisco & that I haven't had any sort of girlfriend in...hmm. Long time. (something my Mom loves to interrogate me about every chance she gets) The only way to get that 5% suspicion of gayness off your mind is to deliver a seethingly remarkable gay joke to your brother and 'casually' study the reaction. I guess preferring lonesomeness is too radical to accept for some. The simplest of phrases can totally undermine the concept of communication, too, when these simplest of phrases are scrutinized for hidden meanings that don't even exist. Navigating the presumption that people have about things is worse than popping blisters. And far more annoying. Seriously, the pretext is staggering. So totally avoiding any message spoken and launching ad hominem missiles at the messenger. Sandcastle conversations in a high tide of complete nonsense. I can get nowhere sometimes, and find myself participating in the verbal cream pie-a-thon. Bah. I love my family, but I don't know why sometimes. :p I've decided I'm going to fly somewhere cool this weekend. I'm ready to kick up my horse and gallop off to somewhere far away. I liked my last trip so much that I shall take another and make-believe that it will be as good. My options are, for all intents & purposes, limitless. But to keep things sane (a rarity for me, I know), I've narrowed it down to 2 locations: [b]Toronto[/b] and [b]New York[/b]. So, where should I go? Your call, loyal subjects of the Kingdom of Neum. I've never been to Toronto, and I've been itching for a show on Broadway in NYC. I've heard stuff about "Wicked." No, I don't have friends in either city. Hotels. Your job: Vote. [b]Toronto[/b] or [b]New York[/b]. I will decide by Wednesday evening. And, by then, I will be able to use my thumb again. EDIT: Hee! Happy 4th of July! *lights firework in sister's room*

  The Addams return in another creepy and kooky adventure with a new addition to the family which makes the other kids Wednesday and Pugsley homicidally jealous so they get shipped off to a summer camp. Gomez and Morticia hire a beautiful blond nanny (magnificently played by Joan Cusack) who decides to marry the strange-looking Uncle Fester (played superbly by Christopher Lloyd) and take all his money by killing him and making it look like a freak accident. Angelica Huston and Raul Julia are again marvelous as Morticia and Gomez Addams and there is a scene where Wednesday is forced to crack a smile that was truly scary.
