    Storyline

    Edit
    When an adorable baby boy is added to the Addams household, Wednesday and Pugsley do not hate him, they just aren't necessarily excited about his existence. OK...yeah, they do hate him. So they plot to get rid of him one way or another. Meanwhile, their parents hire a nanny for him and she charms Fester, but has evil intentions for him. The Addamses must stop her, but how?

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Adding more than just make-up to the character, Morticia Addams is always lit separately from everyone else in a scene. Her lighting always consists of one beam of light across her eyes that gradually fades outward to enhance her classic look.
    • Goofs
      When baby Pubert is put on the block, his bonnet begins to fall off as Pugsley slides him up. In the next shot, his bonnet is tied firmly on his head.
    • Quotes

      Morticia: Wednesday's at that very special age when a girl has only one thing on her mind.

      Ellen: Boys?

      Wednesday: Homicide.

    • Crazy credits
      Other than the title, there are no opening credits.
    • Alternate versions
      When Joel first enters the Harmony Hut to join Wednesday and Pugsley, after Gary takes his book away, he looks around and shrieks in horror to see a poster of Michael Jackson on the far wall. This part has been removed from some TV broadcasts.

    Better than the original ? I think so.
    This film is one of those rare gems, a sequel that is as good as, or even better than the original.

    Christina Ricci fulfills all the promise that she showed in the first film, as she really steals the film from her more established co-stars.

    The scenes at camp produce some of the best one-liners, and it is great to see an American film that is self-mocking about its image concious rich societies. Lines from Ricci like " Is that your overbite?" and "When they woke up all their old noses had grown back!" are superb and will be much loved in the UK, as it is how much of the States is perceived over here.

    Also, Amanda in this movie, is also played by the same girl who played the Girl Scout in the first movie.

    Add a little bit of romance between Wednesday and another kid at the camp and you have something for everyone in this wonderfully funny and worryingly endearing movie.
