Storyline

The only chance they have of curing them is to organize a family reunion, hoping that someone knows a home remedy. Unfortunately, due to a printing error, the family arrives at the reunion of an ordinary family named Adams (with one D). While Gomez and Morticia, oblivious to the mistake, search for a cure amongst a family divided by the wish to inherit; Pugsley (Jerry Messing) and Wednesday (Nicole Fugere) are busy making new friends...explode; Uncle Fester (Patrick Thomas) and Thing (Christopher Hart) search for a vicious Chihuahua that lives on human hair; and Lurch (Carel Struycken) falls in love.

User Reviews

Kill yourself. Now!

This movie has basically nothing to recommend it.

The writers bear the heaviest burden for this dog. I'm generally a fan of Tim Curry, Darryl Hannah, and both the Movie and TV(original) "Addams Family "shows. This movie was an embarrassment to anything related to the "Addams Family"

Tim Curry appears to have been pressed into a bad Raul Julia impersonation, rather than allowed to find his own style, Darryl Hannah and and the rest just don't seem to have been given anything to work with.

And neither have you, the viewer. This movie reeks, but if you're reading this, you've probably already found that out to your sorrow.
