Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

As a big Addams Family fan I wanted to see this movie ever since I first heard of it. But over here in Holland, it isn't available so I wasn't able to see it. Until today, when I discovered the full movie is on YouTube.Since Raul Julia's death I thought Tim Curry would be the perfect follow-up as Gomez Addams. I was wrong. Very wrong. Tim Curry surely has the looks to be Gomez, but his acting in this movie is lame and he doesn't get the heart of Gomez Addams. It's hard to imagine this was the same actor who scared so many people in his portrayal as Pennywise the Clown.Daryl Hannah as Morticia is just another example of miscasting. She does not have the Gothic heart to portray Morticia as Carolyn Jones and Anjelica Huston had.Even 'our very own Dutch' Carel Struycken is not able to reprise his role as Lurch as he did in the movies with Raul Julia and Chrisopher Lloyd and seems to have lost his Lurch-mojo here.Patrick Thomas as Uncle Fester is something I liked. This had some promise. He is way different from Christopher Lloyd's portrayal, but is more close to Jackie Coogan's interpretation of the character. But Patrick Thomas unfortunately also had to suffer from low budgets and bad directing/lighting/production fails and looks more like a guy who dresses up for Halloween in an attempt to be Uncle Fester than that he is convincing, But this is not because of his acting, but because of the cheap and bad make-up.The same goes for the wardrobe of the other characters: cheap, way too 'clean' and all looking like it was bought at the dollar store. Especially the clothing for Pugsley.The special effects are bad, but that's something I could accept as it is a made-for-TV-only movie. The lighting and editing are also very bad.

Okay, where in the hell do I start? Okay the plot is about The Addams Family getting a letter in the mail about a family reunion and with Gomez's grandparents (who look more like his actual parents considering Tim Curry's age) acting all...normal, they decide to go and see if anyone has encountered the disease they're suffering from and if they could find a family cure but wouldn't you know it, this is the Adams family, a seemingly normal family who are all money grabbers and want the eldest member's inheritance. One member goes so far and actually poison's him. How will things go with the Addams Family there?In the end, this should tell you whats wrong with the movie, there is not a single voice of reason. The extended rich family are so dysfunctional they make The Simpsons look like The Brady Bunch. Not only that but everyone in this film is so mean spirited that there is not a single like able character. I honestly think the director only saw snip its of the show on TV or something because any enjoyment out of the show is virtually non existent in this movie.The jokes in this film don't work because as weird as the Addams family was in the show, they all loved each other and would help each other solve their own problems. Good thing in this movie that everyone could easily be perceived as a prick and the problem solving is done by a senile old man. Not only that but Gomez and Morticia's chemistry is actually non existent. I know it gets annoying every time I say "in the show" this or "in the show" that but...In the show they had a very erotic chemistry, in 20 minutes of the show, Gomez would passionately kiss Morticia repeatedly...in 50 minutes of this film, they exchange a kiss you'd expect from mother and son and...thats the height of their chemistry.Now not only that but, I know I wont shut up about this, the people in this movie are so vindictive and basically, they're bastards, even the Addams Family which would also destroy any hope a potential fan would have for entering either the show or the other two films (which I haven't seen). This, of course, renders every single joke to being unfunny and downright in bad taste.The acting is also crap. The only person that actually looked like he was trying to pull off the role he was in was Tim Curry and...I have to admit, some of his schtick is the only funny moments in the film and they're just little chuckles but they still count considering what else passes off as a joke in this film.Overall this movie is crap, its a disrespect to the original show, its a disrespect to the Addams family name and the whole thing is just so mean spirited. There is not one aspect of this film that lives up to the show (not even the effects or the sets) if you want the Addams family, watch the other movies (that I haven't seen) or if not that, watch the show that has become a part of pop culture, don't rely on this p*ss stain of a film.

I watched the Addams Family and the Addams Family Values, they were great! The cast was magnificent! Raul Julia is the only person in my mind that portrays Gomez the right way. He was strong, funny and he needed his wife and family. The first two movies played off the comics and were a joy for everyone to watch...there was humor for the children and humor for adults. The Addams Family Reunion....it is a JOKE! I hated it to say the least. They should have never made another movie..the only person to do a good job was Lurch! Where was the wonderful Morticia Addams that Anjelica Huston portrayed? Instead we get this crap shoot Daryl Hannah trying way to hard to be like Anjelica. I wouldn't watch this movie if I were you, it is a waste of time. Live your life pretending that it doesn't exist. There was no humor in it at all. The acting sucked! Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia were the ultimate Morticia and Gomez! May Raul Julia rest in piece! I can only imagine what he would think about how these people destroyed the Addams Family! DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! It should have never been made..or at least not without the original cast...which is not possible! GO ADDAMS FAMILY AND ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES!!
