This sequel to ‘The Addams Family’ sees Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) producing a third child – Pubert. Siblings Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley are jealous, so the doting parents appoint a nanny to keep order. The person chosen is Debbie Jelinsky (Joan Cusack), who soon sets her cap at Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd).
Little do the Addamses realise that Debbie is in fact a serial killer, only interested in getting her hands on Fester's fortune. To this end, Debbie arranges the worst fate possible for the already suspicious Wednesday and Pugsley: summer camp.
***Critic Reviews For Addams Family Values ***
- “It's the rare sequel that is better than its original, and yet "Addams Family Values” qualifies" – Roger Ebert , RogerEbert.com
- " Uneven as it is, Addams Family Values is considerably more enjoyable than its predecessor. At this rate, if there's a third installment, it'll be a knockout. Or at least a TKO. " – Peter Rainer , Los Angeles Times
- * " Surprise, surprise – Addams Family Values is more wicked, more warped and more tightly wound than The Addams Family. It's a dark comedy on the edge, way on the edge, and perhaps twice as funny as the original. " – Candice Russell , South Florida Sun-Sentinel
