Angelica Huston and Raoul Julia are magnetic in dramatic roles but they also have sensational comic timing and their Morticia and Gomez make a memorable dark-humored pair, most notably in the scenes where the sexual innuendo takes a front-row seat. Her without-peer comedic talent is more strongly showcased here -watch the scene when Debbie sits in a car waiting for a house to explode- than in her award winning role as Kevin Kline's jilted bride in In and Out.
All the actors are absolutely wonderful but Cusack steals the movie with a gleefully nasty turn as the murderous Debbie. 13-08-2017.Barry Sonnenfeld (Get Shorty) takes a zany script written by Paul Rudnick (Jeffrey, In and Out) and directs with an exhilarating rhythm to tell the tale of Uncle Fester's marriage to a suspicious young nanny (Joan Cusack) and its effect on the Addams family. This could've of been a great series if it was given a chance, a giant missed opportunity. My only regret watching this film is knowing that there are no more films in the series. I will revisit Waynes World 2 which died a similar death and came out around the same time. In a world where comic books movies recycle plots and villains, it's interesting to see films that had oddball characters and inventive characters. This film should of been the stepping stone for at two more sequels and I think fans needed to show up in bigger support. Looking back it is still a superior film, the humour is right on target and the plot has improved so much, the first film had a weak premise with superb casting. The film failed terribly at the box office, essentially killing the franchise dead in its tracks, I couldn't understand the reason for ignoring this film. The first film had a muddled story but it created the groundwork for the family dynamic, which is the heart and soul of the film series. I remember watching this movie at the cinemas and remembering how much better than the original film it was.
