THE ADDAMS FAMILY

Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd

Paramount Pictures; Directed by Barry Sonnefeld

Rated PG-13; 99 minutes; 1991

Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) are back in this hilarious film version of Charles Addams' New Yorker cartoons. Their haunted house is full of freaks, ghouls, and laughs. Their children Wednesday and Pugsley, their servant Lurch, and a disembodied hand as a pet make up this frightening family. In a series of grimly funny one-liners, the Addams family tries to stop a pair of con artists and the family's crooked lawyer from stealing the family fortune.
