What used to be a childhood favorite, The Addams Family fails to recreate, or even build, the classic family. The main focus is on a gimmicky culture shaming plot, which focuses on Pugsley and Wednesday finding their identities. Save your money.

The Addams family 2019 is a very run of the mill animated film that ends up feeling very average.Being a major fan of The Addams Family I thought the film never fully did the characters justice especially the family relationship aspect. It had a few great performances that being Chole Grace Moretz as Wensday Addams and Charlize Theron as Morticia Addams. Some of the imagery can be pretty cool with the house, character designs from the original comic strip and some scenes have good humor. Major issues with the film are in the story being extremely basic and not taking very many risks. The main plot of the film is one we have heard a 100 times with accepting people in your town who are different because we are all unique in our own ways. This is a good message for kids but the message is shoved in way too much, and they don't reinvent that plot in any way, or try anything new to make more interesting. Overall The Addams family ends up being just okay with a few good moments sprinkled through out but having an extremely basic story and not going all the way with the family's classic humor, dark style.

It's a children's film and it was great. I laughed, people around us were laughing. It was funny, had life lessons on acceptance and was kooky like it's supposed to be. Anyone who is hating on this movie has problems and just has to deal with hater issues.
