The Addams Family (2019)

3 stars ✨

This animated take on The Addams Family captures the dark look of the macabre loving family while adding some modern twists to them. The voice talent is also fantastic with Charlize Theron and Oscar Isaac playing Morticia and Gomez and Chloe Grace Moretz and Finn Wolfhard as Wednesday and Pugsley.

The main plot point comes from Margeaux Needler (Allison Janney) wanting to makeover the Addams family mansion as it doesn’t fit in with the bright town she has built nearby. It’s overall a cute film, but some of the character decisions seem out of place with previous iterations. It’s definitely aimed at kids as there are few dark jokes with the majority of the film being kid friendly. In trying to appeal more to the kids, they lost some of what makes the Addams Family unique.
