Synopsis

The perfectly ghoulish family created by cartoonist Charles Addams is brought back to life in a new CG-animated feature that stays true to the comically morbid characters. Oscar Isaac and Charlize Theron voice Gomez and Morticia Addams, whose family is threatened by the attention of a greedy reality TV host (Allison Janney).

But can anyone really threaten the Addams family? You don’t want to tangle with the grimly gleeful Wednesday Addams (Chloë Grace Moretz) or her brother Pugsley (Finn Wolfhard), much less the resourceful Uncle Fester (Nick Kroll).

    If Guillermo Del Toro saw this, he’d say “I don’t believe in cinema”.

    One of the great tragedies of modern animation is that something like 65% of the animated movies released stateside feels more like a pitch for a cheaper-looking Netflix kids series than an actual movie with ideas, jokes, and something like a compelling emotional core. This…

    The animation looks like it would perfectly suit a Nickelodeon show circa 2008 that only lasted one season.

    Imagine thinking it’s a smart business move to hide Oscar Isaac’s face behind some cartoons

    2019's The Addams Family is your typically generic and passable animated film with just enough solid messages and entertaining bits for us to enjoy. Easily forgettable tho.

    Don’t have any idea why they made this a movie😭 The character design is Horrendous and dosent have the same charm as the original. They missed the mark of what makes the Addams family a beloved movie series.

    Rating: 6.1/10 The Addams Family is a slick but soulless animated reboot that misses the subversive, gothic charm of its source material. The film is a generic, formulaic story about accepting outsiders. Highlights - Talented Voice Cast: The voice cast is impressive, with Oscar Isaac and Chloë…

    After watching the "Wednesday" series, I'm in an "Addams Family" mood, so I decided to check out these animated ones. Now this isn't horrible, but this cast seems like it would've been great in live action except for Finn Wolfhard. It's okay, just something I'll watch once only.

The filmmakers and a nifty cast give the characters some clever, amusing flourishes — it’s definitely diverting seeing the Addamses rendered in state-of-the-art animation, given their cartoon origins — but it ultimately isn’t enough to keep the mood from turning dull.

Anyone who’s still engaged by the end of the movie is probably too young to remember the original.

Yes, there are funny lines, but nearly all of them are familiar to fans; it’s almost like a greatest hits of “Addams Family” quotables.
