The original show is really quite remarkable. From the music to the performances, it's a major cut above most television (of any era). Honestly, the original Gomez and Morticia actually can't be topped. Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston did a great job, but the originals are legitimately in a league of their own.
It also had a message of tolerance in general, with the Addams family happily befriending minorities, poor people and "odd subculture ppl" (aka Beatniks, at the time) and treating them all as equals.
Honestly its the other way around in my opinion. Astin and Caroline where good, campy/wholesome, but Julia and Huston are in a legal of their own when it comes to a couple.
@@memnarch129 For me, the campy performances fit the overall vibe better than the straighter performances from the film. It made sense to do something different in the movie (otherwise, why make it?), but the ridiculousness of the concept is better served by the original style imo.
@@maxducoudray I'm with memnarch on this. I watched both and yes the 60s series was campy fun but I much prefer the 90s movies vibe and I like Wednesday even more.
What I love about this movie, is that Tully wanted money all he had to do was ask for it straight up Gomez would have given to him no issues. They are very generous and money does not matter to them. They are what you want in a family they love and support each no matter what.
1. Your costume is adorable. 2. The sequel is even better! 3. I’m totally with you regarding the music. I am such a sucker for a good dark waltz. 4. Morticia and Gomez are the ultimate relationship goal.
The movie is a great tribute to the original magazine cartoons, and the TV series developed from the cartoons. The cartoons were single panel gags in the New Yorker, so they didn't have the context of a family necessarily, and in fact the characters didn't even have names. Addams took part in developing the series, which gave the characters names and more solid identities. Fester, for instance, was never depicted as being part of a family in the cartoons, he was simply a random ghoul haunting the populace. One of the famous Charles Addams cartoons was the bald ghoul (Fester) in the middle of a dark movie theater, giggling uncontrollably while the rest of the audience is repulsed with shock and horror. One of many gags used in the movie screenplay, Gomez asking his wife: "unhappy, darling?" "Oh, yes! Completely!" The further development of Gomez is usually attributed to the performer, John Astin (Sean's adopted dad). He created the impulsive, half-crazed swashbuckling lover that became a perfect vehicle for Raul Julia.
After this epic reaction Jen one would have no be bonkers to not hit like and want Addams family values 🙂 it's so good and Wednesday is brilliant in that one as she is in this one ofc , speaking of your Wednesday look is great really great 🙌
One of the best stage roles I ever had was playing Fester in the Addams Family Musical. Excellent fun with gruesome songs. Another great reaction Jen. Thanks as always.
Awe Jen i luv your homicidal maniac costume! Haha😁👻 You look great as Wednesday Addams! I hope you watch the next Addams family movie - family values! The theme song is originally from the tv show. Gomez and Morticia have a hauntingly romantic relationship!❤ Jensday Addams I'll propose to you so long as you dont try to kill me!🔪 Haha lol😁 Luv ya Jen ❤️💛
The original drawings are quite gothic and gorgeous. The boiling oil poured on the Christmas carollers is from those. The detail and fun spooky humor led to the tv show and these great movies. I even have Gomez and Morticia Ken and Barbie. The box is the Addams mansion. ❤️🖤
I feel like most people tend to prefer the sequel to the original. I personally find this one to be better, but the sequel is very good and worth checking out.
They are about equally goid it just depends on your tastes on with you like better. The first is a bit more cooky and artistic where as the sequel is a bit more silly and exciting.
A little trivia - Thing's full name is Thing T. Thing - and the "T" stands for "Thing". Oh, and Wednesday's middle name is Thursday. I remember a comment from years ago that unlike all the other 60's TV couples, you knew Gomez and Morticia "do it".
Wednesday was named for the old English Children's Poem, "Monday's child is Fair of Face - Tuesday's child is Full of Grace, Wednesday's child is Full of Woe - Thursday's child has Far to Go, etc.". Morticia's man-eating African Strangler plant is named Cleopatra. That really was Fester - 'Pinder Schloss' gave it away when she said she should've left him where she found him. Raul Julia was just fantastic as Gomez. I love the old TV show, but these movies just shred it. I would absolutely propose to Jen! And YES, do watch the sequel (Values), as it is Thanksgiving themed (mum's the word).
My mom bought me a necklace as a kid with Friday's verse Friday's child is loving and giving because I was born on a Friday. Still have it in my jewelry box. :)
It was fun revisiting this movie through your eyes, Jen! It gave me a new perspective on this wacky film from the 90's! Also, absolutely love the Wednesday cosplay... to the point where I think you could just make this your new look going forward! ; )
Addams Family Values is definitely one to check out, you'll love it as much as this one. Gomez and Morticia are relationship goals for many people, it's a meme that their relationship is more accepting, wholesome and passionate than their contemporaries who are more judgmental and dead inside.
You should check out the Addams Family tv series from the 1960s!! Really cute!! John Astin as Gomez Carolyn Jones as Morticia Jackie Coogan as Uncle Fester Ted Cassidy as Lurch !! Lurch has a bigger role in the tv series, cute !! Morticia and Gomez were madly in love in the tv series too!! Every time Morticia spoke French it really turned Gomez on!!
I love this movie. MC Hammer did a music video to promote the movie. They did a great job adapting the 60s TV series. I watched the reruns as a child. Angelica Houston was in a Horror movie for children called The Witches. Great movie.
The Girl Scout has a bigger role in the sequel, and the actress, Mercedes McNab, would go on to play Harmony (a vampire) on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off, Angel.
I love this movie. Thank you for this reaction! Yes, the theme was similar to the theme of the tv show. If possible, you should check out the tv show, and even the Charles Addams cartoons it was based on, which ran in the New Yorker starting in the 1930s. I’m a big fan of all things Addams Family. (I even have an original AF metal lunchbox). Although, I don’t have Netflix, so I haven’t seen Wednesday yet. After this film, you have to watch the sequel, Addams Family Values.
@@LordVolkov John Astin was great, as was Jackie Coogan as Fester and Ted Cassidy as Lurch. And, nothing against Anjelica Huston but, for me, Carolyn Jones will always be Morticia.
Awww you missed at the end where “Greta” said to “Gordon”…”I should have left you where I found you!!!”. Meaning the original lie they told the Adamses was probably near the truth lol
Oh...Jen has braids in and a Wednesday Addams outfit on, in addition to her Serious Girl Spectacles? That's a cool, thematic, on-brand tack to take, what with Halloween just a week away. 😀 Full Disclosure: I am so much the smitten kitten. 😻😻😻
I never talk about how reactors look but Jen, you look incredibly cute in that outfit. I love the braids! When it came to the music, you were definitely in your element with this reaction. Singling out the muted trumpet was great. You should definitely watch The Addams Family Values. That's a Thanksgiving movie, so it could be worth doing it then.
We've missed Canadian Thanksgiving, but here in the US, Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday in November, so she still has time to do it for our holiday. :)
The sequel is a fun time and definitely worth checking out if you liked this one, though the first one is just such a great film. As another commenter said, it would be a good show for/around Thanksgiving!
With lyrics to match: They're creepy and they're kooky Mysterious and spooky They're all together ooky The Addams family Their house is a museum When people come to see 'em They really are a screaming The Addams family Neat Sweet Petite So, put a witch's shawl on A broomstick you can crawl on We're gonna play a call on The Addams family They're creepy and they're kooky Mysterious and spooky They're all together ooky The Addams family Strange Deranged The Addams family
I always liked the TV show when I was a kid. This movie had a really entertaining vibe, and when you add Jen, who's just a bundle of fun, it was great.
Excellent. Morticia and Gomez are just one of the best screen couples ever! Also the Wednesday costume is fab - you could do the Morticia look for when you watch the sequel
This movie was huge when it came out in 91. The 60s TV show got heavy play in reruns during the 70s and 80s, so you had a couple of generations who already knew and loved these characters when the movie was released. Movies based on TV shows usually don't end up so great, but this one was really well received. I like the sequel, "Addams Family Values," even better.
Nice costume, Jen. 😃 Definitely up for the sequel. 👍 The Addams Family pinball machine (1992) is great. It was based on this film. It is the best-selling solid state pinball machine of all time. I've spent more money on that machine than all other pinball machines combined. 🤣
Glad you enjoyed Gomez and Morticia! Cinema Therapy have actually done an episode on what good role models they are for maintaining a healthy marriage. And quite right too! The sequel is well worth watching, Wednesday really comes into her own in that one.
A devilishly delightful movie! The sequel, "Addams Family Values" is, if anything, even better. A Thanksgiving movie. I remember watching the original TV series back in the day during its original run. The iconic theme song is from that TV show, which ran from 1964-1966. The originator, Charles Addams, drew one-panel humorously macabre cartoons for The New Yorker, featuring these characters. Keep it up Jen!
The genius of John Astin and the magical beauty of Carolyn Jones set the bar for a portrayal of The Addams Family. A bar that I do not believe has ever been topped. The actors in the more recent films were all terrific and brilliant in their own right. But, the OG is legend.
Loved this movie when I was growing up. I even had the novelization of it that I got at the Scholastic book fair. Doesn't get much cooler than Raul Julia as Gomez. Definitely check out part 2.
The theme song is from the original show, from the sixties which I grew up watching. You should watch some episodes the way you watched the original Star Trek series.
In the original TV series Gomez was played by John Astin, Sean Astin's adopted father. And Charles Addams drew cartoons about the Addams family. I don't think it was intended to be his real family, just an otherwise unnamed family of oddballs who danced on the edge of horror tropes.
The scene of Gomez and Fester in the boat down in their vault is drawn from a real place. In Istanbul there's a Byzantine-era cistern, the Basilica Cistern, beneath the city that they used to give tours in by boat. These days they've installed elevated walkways so you can see the interesting details, which include gigantic Medusa-head carvings that were taken from Roman temples by the Christian Byzantines and used as construction material. And in the TV show, Uncle Fester was played by Jackie Coogan, who got his start as a kid in silent films alongside Charlie Chaplin. Unfortunately, his parents spent all his earnings. He sued them but only recovered half of what he had earned. The whole mess led California to pass the "California Child Actor's Bill" that regulates how a child actor's money can be spent and required school time, limited work time and time off.
I just read more about Coogan, and, man, he had a life. He was briefly married to Betty Grable -- an actress and pin-up girl whose photo was the most requested photo for WWII troops overseas. During WWII Coogan volunteered as a glider pilot with the US Army Air Force, and even made a combat landing behind Japanese lines in Burma. Besides the Addam's Family, his TV career included The Brady Bunch, The Andy Griffith Show, The Wild Wild West, and Hawaii Five-O.
I love the attention you give to the music in your reactions - it's neat having a reaction channel with a music background! You notice things I've long just taken for granted or never really paid attention to.
If anyone is interested, all the original Addams Family episodes can be found here. th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=the+addams+family+full+episodes
I have spent my life looking for the love that Gomez and Morticia have for each other. Raul Julia was an absolute treasure. I recommend Tequila Sunrise which is an 80s movie with Mel Gibson, Kurt Russel and Michelle Pffiefer with a marvelous scene stealing Raul Julia performance..
Super enjoyable rewatch this one you look sensational in the wednesday cosplay 🙌 everything about this movie is great all the small details , the stuff you notice more in the background with every watch , the awesome music ofc , bonkers characters it's just a super fun time 🔥 I still hope you watch the second movie at some point and with season 2 of Wednesday not far off now the Wednesday series also even if it's just on your own not for the channel you should still check it out I truly think it's something you will enjoy 👍 sucks this is demonetized was going to leave a superchat damn it 🤷 anyways thanks again Jen this was a wonderful way to begin Friday 🔥💙🔥💙
Thanks for another great reaction Jen I can’t remember the last time I seen this movie. And I say yes if we get a chance to do the Wednesday series and once again, thank you for your reactions and your channel
The Addams Family started as a New Yorker cartoon in 1938. They are excellent. The TV Show is excellent. The movies are excellent. Find any TV show episode and watch it, they’re just so much fun and you’ll love it.
Who is this girl in the video? I don't remember Wednesday having an older sister.))) The name Friday is already taken. Thanks to Robinson Crusoe. So Jen, from now on you're Saturday Addams.))
The Cousin Itt car is a 1960 Messerschmitt KR -200.They sold the Uncle Fester light bulbs in the back of comicbooks.I got one and my brother got one.Uncle Fester used it more often on the TV show.🎃🎃
wow Jen you're really so refreshing, you get the music in this movie, you get south park, you get the character Jenny from Forrest Gump.. like, the range you have. kudos!
My parents had a book of the original Chaz Addams comics (I think they were in the New Yorker?), and the opening scene with pouring boiling oil on the carolers is straight out of one of them.
The Addams Family show is where the theme music/song comes from, including clicking fingers. They used a simple answer to doing the character of Thing: boxes on tables, with hinged lids ( hand actor underneath the table ). Wednesday was roughly around 5 years old, Pugsley a little older. Actor Ted Cassidy played Lurch, a naturally tall man. Originally Lurch wasn't intended to have any lines, but in an episode answering the door, he ad-libbed "You rang?" and with his very deep voice, they knew it was comedy gold. On the tv show Lurch played the harpsichord, not an organ. Jackie Coogan played Fester, he began his film career as a child actor in silent films. Coogan's role in Charlie Chaplin's film "The Kid" made him one of the first child stars in the history of Hollywood. For the opening of the show they used a photo of a real house which didn't look like that, a painting was matted in to give the gothic look with the tower etc. The show was an adaptation of Charles Addams' cartoons of the same characters. Google Charles Addams cartoons to check them out.
The Addams Family was created by American cartoonist Charles Addams. They originally appeared in a series of 150 standalone single-panel comics, about half of which were originally published in The New Yorker between 1938 and their creator's death in 1988. They have since been adapted to other media, such as live action and animated television series, films, video games, comic books, a musical, and merchandise. In addition to the 1964-66 live action sitcom (which was in black and white), a Hanna-Barbera animated series aired in 1973, and a second animated series aired in 1992-93, between this film’s release and its sequel’s. You definitely should see ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES (1993), Jen! It’s just as wild and crazy and in many ways even funnier!
I've watched a lot of your videos recently, and for some of the movies I thought I remembered well it turns out I really didn't remember them well at all. But this movie I had pretty much completely forgotten about, and yet I remember every single one of these scenes clearly. It was really great to see this again and your reaction to it.
You clearly had blast watching this and your Wednesday is awesome! The sequel is definitely worth a watch. Love that you had this down as couple goals! I think that's a first among reactors. Are you sure you didn't lose your memory in the Bermuda Triangle? : )
Yes, watch the sequel. But you should also check out some of the original TV show. As good as this movie is, I'm personally more of a fan of the original show.
The Addams Family started out as a series of cartoons in The New Yorker magazine. They were mostly just wordless cartoons with weird stuff happening (the uncle knicknack joke would have fit right in). In the 1960s they decided to make a television series out of it. In fact, the series is where the names come from.

Seen Wednesday very cool you have to watch it Good fx in it
Liked! Liked! Liked! I can’t wait to see your reaction to “Ballerina Barbie!!!” 😋😁
Family Values is just as good as this one.
Ha! I see you, Jensday Addams!
If you can fit it in this year's schedule, Addams Family Values is perfect for Thanksgiving/end of November.
But Jen's Canadian, she would have already celebrated Thanksgiving this year.

I always thought The Munsters was a better show.
"*slight moan* You've done this before." is one of my favorite jokes, of any movie.
Morticia is iconic.
I love that part, and (didn't make the TH-cam cut) Gomez saying "Leather straps... red hot pokers..." and Morticia responds "Later my dearest"
What I love about this movie, is that Tully wanted money all he had to do was ask for it straight up Gomez would have given to him no issues. They are very generous and money does not matter to them. They are what you want in a family they love and support each no matter what.
Gomez adored Tully's backstabbing and dirty pool. If only he hadn't conspired to take the entire fortune he could have stolen from them for years 😅
@@LordVolkov I agree
Gomez and Morticia, truly a love for the ages! We should all be so lucky! Hope you watch the sequel!
Best part of Halloween, reactors doing Addams Family. The sequel is fantastic by the way.
“You know i love a good organ...!” 😂😂😂 Pretty sure Morticia has said something similar lol
Giggity
lol
I heard that and instantly thought... well, you can guess, can't you?
Jen, you minx, you...
Jen has been on absolute fire lately
"Did he write it about his own family?" Nope, he wrote it about what he wishes his family was like!
1. Your costume is adorable.
2. The sequel is even better!
3. I’m totally with you regarding the music. I am such a sucker for a good dark waltz.
4. Morticia and Gomez are the ultimate relationship goal.
Morticia cut the heads off the roses in the TV show, too, Jen. That was one of her things. 🥰
And from what i gather and have heard... its because Gomez is allergic to them.
@@NZBigfoot I didn't know that! Thanks! 👍

I think it says something when psychologists have said that a relationship like Gomez and Morticia's is what we should *all* be aiming for.

Glad you enjoyed Gomez and Morticia! Cinema Therapy have actually done an episode on what good role models they are for maintaining a healthy marriage. And quite right too! The sequel is well worth watching, Wednesday really comes into her own in that one.
Yes to Addams Family Values! It's a must for Thanksgiving!
Such a good movie. Amazing reaction as usual. Love the cosplay. You are so freakin beautiful and cute!! ❤❤❤❤❤
100% yes to Addams Family Values. Great reaction!!
A devilishly delightful movie! The sequel, "Addams Family Values" is, if anything, even better. A Thanksgiving movie. I remember watching the original TV series back in the day during its original run. The iconic theme song is from that TV show, which ran from 1964-1966. The originator, Charles Addams, drew one-panel humorously macabre cartoons for The New Yorker, featuring these characters. Keep it up Jen!
RIP Raul Jualia, the actor that plays Gomez in this movie.
The sequel is pretty good. Definitely watch!
According to lore from the show, Thing was a failed experiment the kids did.
The genius of John Astin and the magical beauty of Carolyn Jones set the bar for a portrayal of The Addams Family. A bar that I do not believe has ever been topped. The actors in the more recent films were all terrific and brilliant in their own right. But, the OG is legend.
Just when you think Jen can't be more funny with a straight face: 7:57
Loved this movie when I was growing up. I even had the novelization of it that I got at the Scholastic book fair. Doesn't get much cooler than Raul Julia as Gomez. Definitely check out part 2.
Love your dressing up for this awesome 👌. Hello from Pa USA 🇺🇸. ❤❤❤
Barry Sonnenfields work on this Men in black and his directing of the first two episodes of Pushing Daisies was Brilliant 😍😍😂❤
The theme song is from the original show, from the sixties which I grew up watching. You should watch some episodes the way you watched the original Star Trek series.
In the original TV series Gomez was played by John Astin, Sean Astin's adopted father. And Charles Addams drew cartoons about the Addams family. I don't think it was intended to be his real family, just an otherwise unnamed family of oddballs who danced on the edge of horror tropes.
😃Jen!!! 😃 There are a tonne of OG Addams Family episodes that I watched growing up! Do a few of those BEFORE Wednesday!!! Please!!!
Wow, Jen without a ponytail. This is something new!
The scene of Gomez and Fester in the boat down in their vault is drawn from a real place. In Istanbul there's a Byzantine-era cistern, the Basilica Cistern, beneath the city that they used to give tours in by boat. These days they've installed elevated walkways so you can see the interesting details, which include gigantic Medusa-head carvings that were taken from Roman temples by the Christian Byzantines and used as construction material.
And in the TV show, Uncle Fester was played by Jackie Coogan, who got his start as a kid in silent films alongside Charlie Chaplin. Unfortunately, his parents spent all his earnings. He sued them but only recovered half of what he had earned. The whole mess led California to pass the "California Child Actor's Bill" that regulates how a child actor's money can be spent and required school time, limited work time and time off.
I just read more about Coogan, and, man, he had a life. He was briefly married to Betty Grable -- an actress and pin-up girl whose photo was the most requested photo for WWII troops overseas. During WWII Coogan volunteered as a glider pilot with the US Army Air Force, and even made a combat landing behind Japanese lines in Burma. Besides the Addam's Family, his TV career included The Brady Bunch, The Andy Griffith Show, The Wild Wild West, and Hawaii Five-O.
She saw “From Russia with Love”
Some of the scenes were filmed in the cistern.
Specifically when they boat over to spy in the Soviets
I was waiting for you to watch this, I knew you'd love it. The sequel is just as good if not a little better, please watch it.
I love the attention you give to the music in your reactions - it's neat having a reaction channel with a music background! You notice things I've long just taken for granted or never really paid attention to.
Such a fun kids movie ❤
Hi Jennifer. Big Addams Family fan. Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Thanks John you too! :)

I have spent my life looking for the love that Gomez and Morticia have for each other.
Raul Julia was an absolute treasure. I recommend Tequila Sunrise which is an 80s movie with Mel Gibson, Kurt Russel and Michelle Pffiefer with a marvelous scene stealing Raul Julia performance..
Definitely watch the sequel. As good as this one is, the second is even better. Christina Ricci really gets a chance to shine as Wednesday.
Super enjoyable rewatch this one you look sensational in the wednesday cosplay 🙌 everything about this movie is great all the small details , the stuff you notice more in the background with every watch , the awesome music ofc , bonkers characters it's just a super fun time 🔥 I still hope you watch the second movie at some point and with season 2 of Wednesday not far off now the Wednesday series also even if it's just on your own not for the channel you should still check it out I truly think it's something you will enjoy 👍 sucks this is demonetized was going to leave a superchat damn it 🤷 anyways thanks again Jen this was a wonderful way to begin Friday 🔥💙🔥💙
Theme song was in the tv show as well. The thing most don't know is that it was a comic book long before a tv show.
Thanks for another great reaction Jen I can’t remember the last time I seen this movie. And I say yes if we get a chance to do the Wednesday series and once again, thank you for your reactions and your channel
The Addams Family started as a New Yorker cartoon in 1938. They are excellent. The TV Show is excellent. The movies are excellent. Find any TV show episode and watch it, they’re just so much fun and you’ll love it.
My childhood memories towards The Addams Family couldn’t be more “Spooktacular!”
Who is this girl in the video? I don't remember Wednesday having an older sister.))) The name Friday is already taken. Thanks to Robinson Crusoe. So Jen, from now on you're Saturday Addams.))
The Cousin Itt car is a 1960 Messerschmitt KR -200.They sold the Uncle Fester light bulbs in the back of comicbooks.I got one and my brother got one.Uncle Fester used it more often on the TV show.🎃🎃
wow Jen you're really so refreshing, you get the music in this movie, you get south park, you get the character Jenny from Forrest Gump.. like, the range you have. kudos!
My parents had a book of the original Chaz Addams comics (I think they were in the New Yorker?), and the opening scene with pouring boiling oil on the carolers is straight out of one of them.
As is the guy on the train.🤓😐
So is the closing bit with the knitting - I'd forgotten about that
@@gomikmay Oh yeah! I remember that now!
The Addams Family show is where the theme music/song comes from, including clicking fingers. They used a simple answer to doing the character of Thing: boxes on tables, with hinged lids ( hand actor underneath the table ). Wednesday was roughly around 5 years old, Pugsley a little older.
Actor Ted Cassidy played Lurch, a naturally tall man. Originally Lurch wasn't intended to have any lines, but in an episode answering the door, he ad-libbed "You rang?" and with his very deep voice, they knew it was comedy gold. On the tv show Lurch played the harpsichord, not an organ.
Jackie Coogan played Fester, he began his film career as a child actor in silent films. Coogan's role in Charlie Chaplin's film "The Kid" made him one of the first child stars in the history of Hollywood.
For the opening of the show they used a photo of a real house which didn't look like that, a painting was matted in to give the gothic look with the tower etc. The show was an adaptation of Charles Addams' cartoons of the same characters. Google Charles Addams cartoons to check them out.
The Addams Family was created by American cartoonist Charles Addams. They originally appeared in a series of 150 standalone single-panel comics, about half of which were originally published in The New Yorker between 1938 and their creator's death in 1988. They have since been adapted to other media, such as live action and animated television series, films, video games, comic books, a musical, and merchandise. In addition to the 1964-66 live action sitcom (which was in black and white), a Hanna-Barbera animated series aired in 1973, and a second animated series aired in 1992-93, between this film’s release and its sequel’s.
You definitely should see ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES (1993), Jen! It’s just as wild and crazy and in many ways even funnier!
I've watched a lot of your videos recently, and for some of the movies I thought I remembered well it turns out I really didn't remember them well at all. But this movie I had pretty much completely forgotten about, and yet I remember every single one of these scenes clearly. It was really great to see this again and your reaction to it.
"Are they made from real girl scouts?" 🤣🍪🤣
You clearly had blast watching this and your Wednesday is awesome! The sequel is definitely worth a watch.
Love that you had this down as couple goals! I think that's a first among reactors. Are you sure you didn't lose your memory in the Bermuda Triangle? : )
Yes, watch the sequel. But you should also check out some of the original TV show. As good as this movie is, I'm personally more of a fan of the original show.
Lol “you know I love a good organ”…..can’t stop giggling! I’m mentally a 12 yr old boy hehe
Addams Family Values is the perfect Thanksgiving movie!
Oh snap 🫰
Great reaction, a fun film.
Original TV series , was different and unique.
Great video, keep it up 👍
I love Family Values: it's even better than the first movie
The Addams Family started out as a series of cartoons in The New Yorker magazine. They were mostly just wordless cartoons with weird stuff happening (the uncle knicknack joke would have fit right in). In the 1960s they decided to make a television series out of it. In fact, the series is where the names come from.
