"Addams Family Values"
(Barry Sonnenfeld, 1993, 94 min, USA, English, Color)

Original goths the Addams Family return to rain on your parade in this deliciously macabre, cheerfully cynical takedown of wholesome Americana. This time around, they're dealing with a new baby and Joan Cusack's psychotic black widow, while Wednesday (Christina Ricci) is shipped off to a WASP-y Kumbaya camp, unleashing historical retribution during a Thanksgiving re-enactment.

"One of the funniest, most mean-spirited satirical assaults on sunny American values since the salad days of W.C. Fields." -- Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
