Addams Family Values

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 1999 Filmcritic.com

When I interviewed Barry Sonnenfeld, he told me he passed up Forrest Gump in order to make the sequel to The Addams Family. Bad move, Barry. You should have quit while you were ahead. While Ricci, Julia, and Huston are as fun as ever, this story -- involving a murderous gold digger and a stupid summer camp for the kiddoes -- has nothing on your original. Sorry, but at least you learned from this one, right? We have higher hopes for Men in Black 2.



I went to Venezuela and all I saw was this lousy movie?
