THE ADDAMS FAMILY

(The Addams Family)
A film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld
1991 - 99 minutes - Color - Dolby SR - 1.85

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?).
