Barry Sonnenfeld's film adaptation of THE ADDAMS FAMILY re-introduced the creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky, and altogether ooky TV family to a new generation in the 1990s, thanks in large part to some eerily perfect casting and fantastic onscreen chemistry (Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia as Morticia and Gomez? Amazing!).
In this take, the eccentric lifestyle of the Addams family is threatened when the family attorney and a greedy mother/son team conspire to steal the family fortune. When a man (Christopher Lloyd) claiming to be Fester, the missing brother of Gomez Addams, arrives at their home the family is thrilled. However, Morticia begins to suspect the man is a fraud since he cannot recall details of Fester's life. With the help of lawyer Tully Alford (Dan Hedaya), Fester manages to get the Addams clan evicted from their home. Gomez realizes the two men are conspiring to swindle the Addams fortune and that he must challenge Fester. Also starring Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams.
