THE ADDAMS FAMILY

(The Addams Family)

A film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld
1991 - 99 minutes - Color - Dolby SR - 1.85 : 1

SYNOPSIS

The film opens on a recreation of the magazine cartoon wherein the
ghoulish Addamses prepare to pour hot oil upon a group of merry
Christmas carolers. After a series of vignettes which establish the
characters of Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley and family
servants Lurch and Thing, the plot proper gets under way. A stranger
shows up on the Addams doorstep, claiming to be long-lost Uncle
Fester. It appears, however, that Fester is a ringer, in cahoots with
attorney Tully Alford to strip the Addamses of their fortune. In their
usual against-the-grain fashion, the Addams Family seems to delight
in the possibility that they're being hoodwinked-indeed, not even
kidnapping or death threats dampen the Addams clan's joy of living
(or should we say dying?).
