Christina Ricci shows glimpses of the quality to come in her great Addams Family Values performance. It is the acting that gives it the extra quality, with Raúl Juliá on fantastic form as Gomez and Angelica Huston perfect as Morticia.

The production design is perfect for the tone of the film with wonderful set design in the Addams house, along with great costumes and props. Things go from bad to worse when the new 'black widow' nanny, Debbie Jellinsky, launches her plan to add Fester to her collection of dead husbands. One of my favourite moments is the dance between Gomez and Morticia in the dark empty ballroom that superbly transitions mid dip to the actual ball in full swing. Siblings Wednesday and Pugsley Addams will stop at nothing to get rid of Pubert, the new baby boy adored by parents Gomez and Morticia. The cinematography and editing is excellent with lots of great shot compositions and lively camera movement. I enjoy the visuals which are very atmospheric, entertaining and technically well done. The plot is for me the weakest aspect of the movie, but it gets us from start to finish and importantly allows for the characters and their actors to shine as much as possible. Uncle Fester appears to have come home after a long period of absence, but is he an imposter? This is a pretty good comedy with great performances, a decent amount of jokes and some memorable scenes.
