It happens all the time, but even though you see it coming it never ceases to be a dissapointment: a sequel that is inferior to a popular original. The ingredients that made the original Addams Family movie such a success are all there: the same actors, same brilliant art direction, and same 'kooky' atmosphere; but still it just does not work.
The premise, in which a black widow type nanny sets her sights on Uncle Fester, is interesting enough, but something has gone seriously wrong in the execution. What we are left with is a movie that is great to look at, and one which can spark a smile every now and again, but one that ultimately won't leave any impression with you. Kooky? Yes. Memorable? Sadly not...
