They simply do not make films like this anymore. This film's dark humor is family appropriate - cartoon violence, no nudity and marginal language. She can do drama ('Monster', 'Black Snake Moan') but will always be America's goth girl. Sure, it possibly typecast her into weird roles ('Casper', 'Sleepy Hollow', 'Pumpkin') but this is, beyond a doubt, where she fits. This was a breakout performance for Christina Ricci (playing Wednesday Addams).

Raul Julia in the performance of his career, and Christopher Lloyd in a very offebeat role even for him. However, this film excels in every way: macabre, humorous and just plain eccentrically absurd.

But can the fake Fester survive the family's maniacal games? I don't have much experience with older incarnations of the Addams Family. But lo and behold, their lawyer knows a man who resembles Fester and if he passes the impostor off, could gain access to the family vault, full of treasures untold.
