Isaac, Theron and Moretz really seem to understand the DNA of their Addams Family characters, in particular Moretz seems to relish voicing Wednesday’s icy, calculating ruthlessness. Even Snoop Dogg as Cousin It is once again a harmless addition to a kids film–and who would have thought that back in the early 90’s?
Anything that could be construed as heavy is typically countered with something frivolous or silly shortly after.
Though the Addams Family is supposedly “scary” it never goes too much into worrisome territory for parents. To me, the strength of the movie was in its family-friendly nature. This worries Gomez, who decides to keep the information to himself and keep the lawyer away from Wednesday.Īs the trip progresses, the family is forced to take more drastic measures to avoid the lawyer and his hulking helper and when she finally learns what’s happening, Wednesday will have to decide if family is just who you share genes with, or if it’s something more. That brings her to the attention of renowned scientist Cyrus Strange (Hader), who wants to combine his work with hers, but he’s rebuffed when she calls it a “family secret.”Īt the same time, Pugsley is starting to notice girls but has no skills to get them to notice him, so Fester takes his young nephew under his wing–or tentacle, at least since Wednesday’s experiment.Īs the kids spend more time on their own and away from their parents, Gomez (Isaac) and Morticia (Theron) long for the good ol’ days when Pugsley was trying to kill his father, and Wednesday would confide in her mother, so Gomez rolls out the family motorhome and takes everyone on a cross-country trip to see the sights of this great land–like Salem, where the witch trials were held.īut right before leaving, a lawyer ( Wallace Shawn) shows up and makes a strange claim: There’s a chance that there was a mix-up at the hospital when Wednesday was born, and that despite her eccentricities, she may not actually be an Addams at all and he needs to get a DNA sample to verify. Mad child genius Wednesday Addams (Moretz) wins her school science fair with an experiment that switches her pet octopus’s mind into her Uncle Fester’s (Kroll) body. “The Addams Family 2” comes only to theaters on Oct.
