Get ready to snap your fingers! The first family of Halloween, The Addams Family, is back on the big screen in the first animated comedy about the kookiest family on the block. Funny, outlandish, and completely iconic, The Addams Family redefines what it means to be a good neighbour. (Universal Pictures UK)

The Addams Family is an American movie that clearly demonstrates that The Addams Family is still relevant and has something to offer modern audiences. It is still very entertaining, and the 3D designs of the individual characters are very cool. I thought Wednesday was the best, and she has always been my favorite, so yeah, The Addams Family is worth watching.

As a great lover of Sonnenfeld's live action films, I had a hard time chewing through the thick and confusing character of Gomez; then, however, I found out that this was based on a completely original treatment, so I shut up. It's not stupid at all, but it's all the more visually awful (meant in a bad way). The film contains some great jokes, but kicks off with a final summation. The Addamses must always stand on the other side of suburban chauvinism and not live in mutual respect with it. And shove those cell phones and laptops up your ass here, too.

Family problems are timeless and ubiquitous, and not even the most morbid family of all time can avoid them. Wednesday is bored with her mundane life and seeks solace in the pink regions, while Pugsley faces a challenging test of adulthood in the form of a sabre dance. Judging by the reviews here and abroad (Imdb), I expected something worse, but in the end it is a briskly made piece with more than one good idea or joke, which will never become an icon of its genre, but will certainly not offend the viewer. On the other hand, it is true that more could have been made out of it, because the Addams family has a lot of potential.

So how is the new Addams Family? The characters are reminiscent of the original drawings again after all these years, but the narrative is more reminiscent of the story of Edward Scissorhands than anything else. It's honestly really short and it's not the clever fun one would expect after so many years of this brand. Undemanding viewers and especially children will be satisfied. I think of it as a brand refresh and a reminder for new generations. I'd enjoy a new series for long winter evenings in the future.
