If you can fit it in this year's schedule, Addams Family Values is perfect for Thanksgiving/end of November.

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.

"*slight moan* You've done this before." is one of my favorite jokes, of any movie. Morticia is iconic.

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.

Morticia cut the heads off the roses in the TV show, too, Jen. That was one of her things. 🥰

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.

This and Addams Family Values are two movies I never get sick of watching. So sad we lost Raul Julia at such a young age.

Gomez and Morticia, truly a love for the ages! We should all be so lucky! Hope you watch the sequel!

"Did he write it about his own family?" Nope, he wrote it about what he wishes his family was like!

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.

“You know i love a good organ...!” 😂😂😂 Pretty sure Morticia has said something similar lol

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.

Jen has been on absolute fire lately

Best part of Halloween, reactors doing Addams Family. The sequel is fantastic by the way.

the sequel's just as good, and a good one to watch for thanksgiving

Fun movie, Christopher Lloyd's Uncle Fester cracks me up! the Wednesday look suits you Jen. ☺️

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".

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.

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. ❤️🖤

One of my favorite movies from my childhood and it still holds up. One of those movies you can watch over and over.

Polka dots is always good! And yes, Addams Family Values is a must watch! I'm sure it'll get just as much wheezing!

"We gladly feast on those who would subdue us" Legendary motto

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 🙌

100% yes to Addams Family Values. Great reaction!!

Being a nineties kid I used to watch this repeatedly on VHS, it was essential viewing to be cool at school for a while! XD

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

Jen your outfit looks amazing! Great job!

The theme song was in the original TV show, Jen. ❤️🥰

Jensday Addams. This is a great film, wonderful script!

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.

Yes, the theme music with the finger-clicking was from the earlier tv show.

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!!

Wow, Jen without a ponytail. This is something new!

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

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.

Yes to Addams Family Values! It's a must for Thanksgiving!

Love your reactions, you're so entertaining and funny! I'm shocked you don't have a Gomez of your own tbf

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.

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.

Every line, every moment, every performance is pitch perfect in this movie 💕

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).

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.

Great reactions Jen! Yes please watch the sequel and the Wednesday show.

I remember watching this all the time when I was kid, one of my favourite childhood movies and I love your wednesday addams outfit Jen.

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.

They are the pinnacle of couple goals. This is also the absolute best Morticia. All the actresses have been fun but this performance and look is perfect.

The sequel is better by far...but this is good. And yes the original tv show had the theme music.

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. 😻😻😻

Your hair looks awesome, Jen. When you watch Wednesday, you need to do a video of you doing the dance

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! ; )

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.

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.

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.

I absolutely love the seance scene with Lurch playing the organ! This movie is so good!

Such a fun kids movie ❤

RIP Raul Jualia, the actor that plays Gomez in this movie.

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.

My childhood memories towards The Addams Family couldn’t be more “Spooktacular!”

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 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!

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 ❤️💛

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.

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!

Barry Sonnenfields work on this Men in black and his directing of the first two episodes of Pushing Daisies was Brilliant 😍😍😂❤

Just when you think Jen can't be more funny with a straight face: 7:57

Addams family values is great too.

The history of this family is one of a kind. A comic strip of 150 standalone single-panels in The New Yorker magazine (1938-1988) by Charles Addams. From the original sitcom (1964-1966) to the first animated series (1973). I watched both in reruns and was very impressed with how this family as dark, gothic and funny would be considered just normal. The first movie is great, perfect in every way. Casting, writing, direction, set design, make-up/costume design, etc. Expanding upon those idea from the sitcom. It's considered a holiday film, released right before Thanksgiving in fact. MC Hammer (popular at the time) did a song called Addams Groove, both loved and hated. There were video games for the movie on a lot of systems (barely played it). The second animated series (1992-1993) was set in the film's universe, not as dark. Although it was more like the sitcom. You'll like Part 2-A.F. Values (1993) and you should stop right there. Skip pass Part 3-A.F. Reunion (1998), not quite like the other films. Definitely watch the animated movies from 2019 and 2021.

You can find many of Charles Addams' original cartoon panels online. He had a brilliant and very VERY dark sense of humor.

This was a great reaction! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I would love for you to check out the sequel. It is more of a Thanksgiving theme.

RIP, Raul Julia, 1940-1994. He was the best Gomez Addams we ever had.

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. 🤣

The family members were actually unnamed until the 1964 television series.Gomez and Morticia were the most demonstratively affectionate couple on the TV at the time (or before for that matter.

Sequel is a must watch. I think of them as a single movie really.

The theme and characters are based on the old tv show. This was probably the first movie to remain true to the source material since Star Trek. Usually movie makers abandon the source material for their own vision.

Loving all the reactions, this film never gets old!

Please don't wait a year to watch the sequel

Oh man, this one is a classic!

An absolute classic that still holds up all these years later.

Addams Family Values is just as good

Jen, You are the only KZfaq reactor that consistently makes an effort to fit in the with movie you're reacting to in some way shape or form. Love your black tie and collar look. It is noticed and appreciated. You rocked it as Wednesday.

Such a good movie. Amazing reaction as usual. Love the cosplay. You are so freakin beautiful and cute!! ❤❤❤❤❤

jen looks adorable in tha costume lol

The second movie is also great. I remember when this movie came out and I'm roughly the same age as Christina Ricci (she is a few months older) but she was a totally age-appropriate crush at the time hihihi. I adored her attitude etc.

I'd have to admit exponentially more interest in seeing Jen's reaction to any number of Addams Family t.v. episodes, than in seeing even part of an episode of Gray's Anatomy.

One of my favorite facts about this movie is that the savage opening scene is actually a direct adaptation of one of the original Charles Adams comic strips, the source material for the tv shows and all of the movies. The strip was a single panel style comic like the Farside or Bizarro and it appeared in papers in the 30’s and 40’s if I remember correctly.,

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.

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.

I remember watching both movies and the original show. Excellent stuff.

every perfect family is exacly the same every dysfunctional family is broken in it's own way chaos is very entertaining.

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!

Family values is good, too. Recommended.

Fantastic story, great cast, well directed, amazing music and a love that is unforgettable. This movie has it all! It is one of my favourite movies! I am searching for my Morticia Addams!

I did not remember this to be in the christmas season lol. Love the Addams. The play is just amazing !!

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.🎃🎃

The finger pop theme song IS from the television series. In the series, Thing would come out of a box situated on a table. So there were numerous boxes all around the house. In the credits, it said Thing was played by... ITSELF. Lurch played a harpsichord in the series. "Was this ever a cartoon?" The Addams family started as a gag cartoon in the New Yorker, a weekly magazine. The cartoon was drawn and captioned by Charles Addams.

Alas, we lost Raul Julia far too soon. He was born for this role.

This movie is a treasure. I think you'll love the sequel, maybe more.

The Best Love Story in modern cinema! Now on to the sequel!!!
