The new film has a better understanding of how to make the most of what has made these characters so enduringly popular, including the Vic Mizzy song. The 2019 film had a bland "the real monsters are the ordinary conformist people" storyline that failed to take advantage of the main appeal of the Addams family, the combination of their ghoulish enjoyment of the macabre and their genuine affection and support for each other. "That's my job.") Other versions included a television cartoon show and a Broadway musical. ("Don't torture yourself," Morticia Addams soothes her husband, Gomez. The characters and setting originated in the original Charles Addams one-panel cartoons in the New Yorke r, a nameless family with an amusingly gruesome way of life, then a 1960s sit-com with the memorable Vic Mizzy theme song, followed by two waspishly witty live-action films.
Her doubts are soon amplified by the arrival of a rather persistent lawyer (Wallace Shawn) who insists that the real child of Morticia ( Charlize Theron) and Gomez ( Oscar Isaac) was switched at birth.This sequel makes up for some of the problems with the 2019 " Addams Family" animated family film, which suffered from an uneven tone and a meandering storyline. And the lesson of the day becomes “the meaning of family”, after the eldest sprog, Wednesday (Chloë Grace Moretz), starts to question whether someone with an intellect as sharp as hers could possibly share DNA with the sword-brandishing, pyromaniacal buffoons she shares a home with. Obligatory stops include Salem and California’s Death Valley. Here, our vehicle for spooky hijinks is something a little more conventional – an Addams Family take on National Lampoon's Vacation, as the characters hop into a velvet-bedecked camper van and shoot off on a cross-country trip.
Granted, directors Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon’s return to the material isn’t quite as sharp as its predecessor, which dug its claws surprisingly deep into the topics of gentrification and immigration.
