It had his moments, but I’m not too fond of what they made of the Addams in these movies. The best part of this one was Joan cusack, I liked every scene with her, and a few Wednesday moments, not really much of the rest.
The movie starts with Wednesday, Pugsley and their grandma burying a cat… alive… :-/
Morticia is having a baby, like Right Now!, and they go to the hospital. Gomez is happy that it’s painful and a torture… although she doesn’t look it at all, she barely looks alive. It’s Thing that slaps the newborn to make it cry, and “it’s an Addams” is what Gomez says.
He arranged a “dark” and “depressing” room for the baby, to Morticia’s delight.
Wednesday tells Pugsley that once a baby is born, one of the others must die, and “they only need one boy”. They throw the baby from the roof, hen Wednesday plays with theguillotine and wants to try it with the baby dressed as Marie antoinette, but the baby sops the bblade with a hand… they keep trying and trying… sure, Gomez and Fester too hated each other as children, but this is going too far, so they want a nanny. The children scare away all of them, until Debbie.
The parents introduce Debbie to the children: “what do we say’” and Wednesday: “be afraid, be very afraid”.
We see on tv that she’s also Ursula, Carmen and Nadine, a black widow who marries rich men and kills them on the first night.
Debbie is officially there to keep Pubert the baby alive, but she doesn’t like children, so she convinces the parents that the kids want to go to “summer camp”: Camp Chippewa. The only thing on Wednesday’s mind is homicide.
Brother and sister are united against those smiling/hugging people who think that they don’t hug because they’re shy. Pugsley:”we’re not shy” - Wednesday:”we’re contagious”.
Wednesday likes the other odd boy who is allergic to everything.
Fester takes Gomez and Morticia along with him for his first date with Debbie. Gomez dances with Moricia while Fester puts things in his nostrils… Debbie says she’s a virgin and wants to wait for her wedding night… and they get engaged, with the ring that was buried with their mother.
At the party, we see that cousin Itt had a baby, and Lurch baked the cake for the stag night with the girl already inside…
I so didn’t like this, the original Addams were odd and peculiar, sure, but not heartless or serial-killery at all.
Wednesday takes Joel to the wedding, and she’s the one who catches the bouquet…
On their honeymoon, Debbie tries to kill him but it’s not easy, so she has him promise never to see his family again. She spends his money on a big house full of stuff and changes his looks, and sends the Addams away when they come to see him…
Debbie puts a bomb to kill Fester: the house is destroyed but he’s alive. Tired of all this, Debbie shows her true colors telling him she doesn’t lilke him and only wants his money. Thing takes Fester away.
Pubert got blond curls because of the shock of the separation, but now Fester is back home.
Debbie followed him, with a shotgun.
At the camp, Wednesday, Pugsley and Joel are forced to watch a Disney marathon, at the end of which Wednesday cracks a smile, and it’s rather creepy… :)
then they play their parts in the musical, as Pocahontas and a turkey. Only, they change the plot and burn the stage… then Pugsley and Wednesday run away, home.
Debbie straps them all to electric chairs (they have a lot of those…). Pubert takes a knife and cuts himself free.
Debbie has alway killed everyone who didn’t give her what she wanted, starting with her parents. Now she wants to fry them all, but Pubert falls from the sky and changes the power so she gets fried instead.
Fester meets cousin Itt’s nanny Dementia, and likes her… basically she’s like a female Fester.
Joel comes to the party. Wednesday likes to scare him to death, poor guy.
