The Addams Family

The paradox of being in a family is that you can give other family members advice, but since you're family they won't listen to it.

That happens to be the case in this comedy about an estranged uncle's homecoming.

Decades after his brother Fester (Christopher Lloyd) departed over a disagreement, Gomez (Raúl Juliá) is overjoyed to have his brother back in his, his wife Morticia's (Anjelica Huston) and their children's, Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) and Wednesday's (Christina Ricci), lives.

While a dead ringer of the long-lost brother-in-law, Fester is in fact part of a plan orchestrated by the Addams' lawyer (Dan Hedaya) to fleece the well-heeled weirdos of their riches.

Based on the television series inspired by the comic strip, The Addams Family is aptly adapted in terms of kooky characters, ooky milieu and spooky humour.

However, living with any uncle means having your address on the National Sex Offender Registry. (Yellow Light)
