The Addams Family	comment	Meet The Addams Family: father Gomez (RaÃºl JuliÃ¡), mother Morticia (Anjelica Huston), daughter Wednesday (Christina Ricci in the role that made her a star), son Pugsley (Jimmy Workman), butler Lurch (Carel Struycken), and Granny (Judith Malina; Darrined by Carol Kane for the sequel). The film series is based on the cartoons created by Charles Addams and the 1960s Dom Com they spawned.The first film, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and released in 1991, focuses on the family's search for Gomez's missing brother, Fester (Christopher Lloyd). Fester's return leads to a joyful reunion between the brothers. However, all is not as it seems: "Fester" is actually an imposter, and his scheming mother Abigail Craven (Elizabeth Wilson) is working with a money hungry lawyer Tully Alford (Dan Hedaya) on a plot to steal the family's fortune. This causes problems for the family and Hilarity Ensues.It was successful enough that a sequel, Addams Family Values, was released in 1993, which added a new child (Pubert) and a new love interest for Fester in the form of Debbie Jellinsky (Joan Cusack), the children's new nanny who drives a wedge between Fester and the rest of the family.A third movie starring the Family, Addams Family Reunion, was released direct-to-video in 1998 with an (almost) all-new cast. Serving as a Pilot Movie for the then-upcoming The New Addams Family series, it is not related to the prior two films.After plans for a stop-motion adaptation fell through (featuring the involvement of Tim Burton, whose The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride were to have served as inspiration), an animated reboot was released in 2019, courtesy of MGM. Burton instead got involved with the Netflix show Wednesday. Tropes:

The Addams Family / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
The Addams Family / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The films paint the characters as much more macabre than the TV show (and more in line with the original magazine cartoons), thanks to more relaxed standards on what is acceptable as humor. A good example is Pugsley's name. Originally, most of the Addams clan didn't have first names, but when the TV show was being produced, they went to Charles Addams to ask for their names. His first choice for the boy's name was 'Pubert', but the TV executives objected. In the long run, of course, the name did get used. Another is that in the series they didn't kill anyone, but in the movies they kill at least four people (the three villains and the stripper at Fester's bachelor party, the latter being accidental) and don't seem to care. In fairness, everyone at the bachelor party is very visibly distraught about the stripper... just not for very long. Family Values in general is rather direct about sex, such as Wednesday bluntly telling a young girl who believes in the Delivery Stork where babies really come from, the fact that Fester watches Gomez and Morticia having sex through keyholes, and being offered Thing as a way to stave off loneliness. Not to mention the Centerfold Gag of their mother. The first film has a scene at the beginning of a cuckoo clock — a scale model of the Addams mansion with moving mannequins of the family. The mannequin of Gomez is apparently kissing the mannequin of Morticia on her breasts.

The Addams Family / int_15448489	type	Ancient Tradition
The Addams Family / int_15448489	comment	Ancient Tradition: The movie treats the Mamushka as one of these, taught to them by Cossack cousins so long ago they no longer remember when. And since Gomez explicitly states that they danced the Mamushka while Nero fiddled, that means the Addams family has been around for at least nineteen centuries, and has documented enough of their family history to know exactly what they were doing the night of July 19, 64. That's how old that traditional dance is. It also foreshadows why Gordon can dance it so well; he is Fester. Since the Cossacks didn't emerge until the 14th century at the earliest — and since it's the Addams family — probably a bit of unintentional Unreliable Narrator in there. Or Gomez is just trying to list off situations where the dance is appropriate, without any regard to whether they could have temporally occurred. Alternately, those Cossack cousins were keeping the dance to themselves since long before they became Cossacks. It's also possible the dance existed as an ancient tradition "since God knows when" and that, when Gomez mentions it was taught to them by their Cossack cousins, he means that he and Fester literally have cousins who are Cossacks who taught the two of them how to do it.

The sequel, Addams Family Values plays this completely straight with Debbie Jellinsky, the Addams' new nanny. A gorgeous blonde dressed all in white, who's actually an Ax-Crazy Black Widow with her sights on Uncle Fester. It eventually turns out she's been killing since childhood.

He does seem worried by bullets, which makes it even weirder that Debbie would decide on the electric chair to finish him off when that method didn't succeed the first time. Seems to apply to all the family to some degree. Pugsley and Wednesday spend much of the first movie playing fatal games with each other, involving poison, knives, even electric chairs. Wednesday even explicitly says the latter is supposed to kill Pugsley, and that this particular game is called "Is There a God?". In the sequel baby Pubert is completely fine handling the exposed cables connected to the electric chairs Debbie sets up. Morticia, going through Fester's luggage in the first movie, notes that he brought cyanide and teasingly chides him "As if we'd run out." The delivery insinuates they use it as a condiment. In the first movie, Pugsley trips a bear trap in Uncle Fester's suitcase, causing it to snap closed around his arm. Pugsley's reaction? "Cool!"

Truth is, she's a loan shark and scam artist who brainwashed Fester into believing he's her son Gordon and is working with Tully to rob the Addams' of their vast fortune. Addams Family Values gives us multiple cases: Debbie, Uncle Fester's love interest, who is a serial killer known as "the Black Widow". She murdered her parents and her three rich husbands and plans to do the same to Fester. But since he's an Addams, he can withstand most things that would kill a normal human, which frustrates her to no end.

The Addams Family / int_319e4a2f	comment	Even Evil Has Standards: If there's one moral tenet the Addamses do live by, it is this: you don't mess with someone's family. Lying is another one. When Gordon's Fester-guise begins to crack, Gomez, Morticia and Wednesday give him the cold shoulder. Tully shows discomfort and disgust with torture in the first film though his only objection to the red hot pokers is to ask if it's going to smell. The Addamses are not bigots or racists, if Wednesday's speech during the incredibly racist Thanksgiving play in Values is to be taken further than face value and is her expressing disgust over how white people have spent centuries dehumanizing Native Americans. Especially considering she's a white girl being forced to play Pocahontas. They love to torture one another and subject themselves to unspeakable agony, but only if it's consensual. Wednesday and Pugsley frequently try to kill each other, but to them it's a sibling game and they've repeatedly been shown capable of surviving whatever the other puts them through. When Morticia gets strapped to a rack and is getting tortured by Tully and Abigail Craven, it's shown to not be okay because they forced her into it. When Gomez is forced to turn the rack, it is incredibly evident that Morticia is, most definitely, enjoying it.

The Addams Family / int_32821ceb	comment	The Unintelligible: Lurch and Itt. The former (unlike in the TV show) speaks in grunts, and even then only rarely. The latter communicates in high-pitched, high-speed gibberish. Lampshaded when the two have a conversation. Others seem to understand Lurch and Itt, however. Tully either can understand Itt asking to cut in or is very good at inferring his meaning, and Margaret almost immediately understands him well enough to not only be charmed by him while first dancing together, but to have a long, emotional discussion with him. Later, after becoming Itt's wife, Margaret is capable of speaking her husband's tongue!

The Addams Family / int_575fd5e2	comment	Dark Is Not Evil: Zig-Zagged. With various people involved pointing out that for all their dark and macabre nature, and seemingly violent acts, the Addamses are in their way the ideal family. The parents are Happily Married, deeply in love after all these years with the fire of passion as bright as it ever was; the entire family is deeply devoted to one another's well-being and happiness, they're concerned about their friends (Morticia twice wishes she could befriend their enemies), and they give generously to charity. They're just... strange. However, given the degree to which the movies were Darker and Edgier than the original live action series, they are not true examples, taking their macabre trappings to the point where they come off as more Affably Evil or maybe Lawful Evil, particularly in Addams Family Values. The movies were based on the original cartoons by Charles Addams, including a gag taken directly from the cartoons, with the family pouring a pot of boiling oil on a group of Christmas carollers. They are card-carrying villains after all.

In the first movie, when Morticia is working as a kindergarten teacher she reads Hansel & Gretel to her class, depicting Hansel and Gretel as cold-blooded killers and the witch as an innocent victim. The kids are not pleased by this Downer Ending — that, or Morticia asking the kids to imagine what being burned alive felt like — and break down in tears.

The Addams Family / int_729c69f3	comment	Politically Incorrect Villain: The camp counselors in the sequel not so subtly favor the children of wealthy WASPs over the minority campers (and Wednesday & Pugsley). The Thanksgiving play written by Gary is filled with blatant racism, with Native Americans constantly being called savages and primitive and praising the lead Pilgrim girl for having "skin as white as milk". Gleefully subverted by Wednesday during the Thanksgiving play to the applause of a grateful nation. She basically leads the minority campers (being forced to play racist Native American stereotypes) in a full-scale assault on the rich white kids, as both symbolic revenge for the real Native Americans, and literal revenge on the kids and counselors who had been dicks to them the entire time. Getting cast as a native is implied to be a plot to humiliate the less-than-perfect campers, if the reactions of the parents in the audience are anything to go by.

The Addams Family / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: It's subtlety foreshadowed throughout the first film that Gordon Craven really is Fester Addams. He's rather quick to warm up to the Addams family and embrace their ways, con man or no. The Mamushka. An imposter wouldn't pick up the choreography that quickly. When Abigail tries to break into the house after Gordon leaves for the kids' performance, she says to herself, "I never should have used him." And right before Gordon turns on her at the end, she says "I should have left you where I found you!", hinting that her story about finding Fester in the Bermuda Triangle was actually the truth. The biggest hint comes during the seance at the beginning of the movie. Grandmama says she can feel Fester's presence and commands he knock three times, which Gordon does. Now it seems like it's all part of the plan (Tully knew about the seance ahead of time) but it's not as though Grandmama was in on it. She really did feel his presence, and unless Gordon was able to hear her from outside over a storm, his knocking on command could be legitimate. On his first night at the Addams house, he gets into bed, and not only does the mattress sink perfectly around him, but his reaction shows he finds it extremely comfortable. Even after Thing appears and freaks him out, the next morning he is shown to be quite refreshed and chipper. Also, when Gomez asks how he slept, Gordon lies and says "like the dead", which Gomez objects too because Fester would toss and turn all night - which is what actually happened. Values begins with Fester howling at the moon, showing the audience that he's lonely (in a romantic sense).

She does, however, carry around her new baby in a coffin-shaped carriage, dresses in typical Addams attire (that is, for a funeral) to Fester's wedding, and hires a nanny named "Dementia" who looks like a female version of Fester. In the scenes that have Margaret in Values you will notice she seems to have gained paler skin and slight shadowing around her eyes, it seems like if you not only take the Addams name but embrace it, unlike Debbie, you start to become more like an Addams.

Naturally, the only ones impressed, and probably the only ones they were really performing for, are the Addamses, cheering at the end with a standing ovation like they just saw an Tony-worthy Broadway performance. When Wednesday goes Off the Rails during the Thanksgiving play in Values, the audience doesn't get that she's off-script until well after the set is on fire. The fact that they clearly do intend to burn Amanda alive at least gets her parents moving.

Becky can't even pronounce two of their names, Consuela and Jamal. In introducing the play, Gary refers to the two factions as white meat and dark meat. Debbie's fondness for white outfits and pastel decor doesn't make her any less of an Ax-Crazy Black Widow.

But in Values he's regressed into a childlike oddball with No Social Skills. Although the thing is his personality in the second film is probably closer to the original character from the TV series and comic strip, at the beginning of the first film he doesn't know he's Fester and is effectively a different person, as he spends more time with the family he gradually starts to feel more like an Addams. And lets face it even as an amnesiac he was a Psychopathic Manchild just more conniving thanks to Craven's influence. But if you compare the two films it is slightly odd how much he regresses in the sequel.

The Addams Family / int_fb5ab090	comment	Loan Shark: Abigail and Gordon Craven. Tully owes them thousands of dollars, so in order to get it, they plan to rob the Addams by disguising Gordon as Fester and having him infiltrate the vault. Turns out this doesn't work, since Gordon really is Fester with amnesia.

The Addams Family / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
The Addams Family / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: In the first movie we see the family motto, We Gladly Feast on Those Who Would Subdue Us. In the second movie, the school camp counselors try to subdue Wednesday and Pugsley, and are last seen being roasted on a spit by Wednesday's accomplices. In the first movie, Gomez angers his neighbor (a judge) by hitting golf balls off the mansion's balcony and smashing his windows. At one point, Gomez calls out, "Keep the ball! I have a whole bucketful!" Later, when the judge rules that Fester is the legal owner of the Addams estate, he gleefully dumps a bucketful of those same balls in front of Gomez. The movie's opener shows the family readying to pour hot melted asphalt on carolers. Much later, as the evicted family leaves the house, the resulting splatters can be seen all around the front door. In Values, when Debbie finally tells Fester she doesn't love him, she launches into a "The Reason You Suck" Speech and concludes with, "No woman in her right mind would love you!" At the end, Fester meets his perfect match in the form of Dementia. "It means insanity."
