Addams Family Values
Barry Sonnenfeld’s sequel is an exceptional triumph of macabre comedy, propelled by Christina Ricci’s brilliantly deadpan Wednesday Addams and Joan Cusack’s unhinged gold-digger Debbie Jellinsky. The story kicks off when Morticia and Gomez bring home baby Pubert, prompting Wednesday and Pugsley to execute a series of increasingly elaborate attempts to eliminate their mustachioed new rival. Sonnenfeld maintains a breathless pace, balancing visual gags with razor-sharp satire of idyllic American suburbia. If you love Look Who's Talking Too for its portrayal of a child’s sheer terror at being displaced by a newborn, this film delivers that exact psychological sibling conflict through an iconic, wickedly funny lens.
