Compared to its predecessor, which retained something of the madcap approach of the 1960s sitcom, Addams Family Values is played more than for very dark and macabre laughs.^[3]

The film was well received past critics, in contrast to its predecessor'due south mixed critical reception. However, it did non perform as well equally the first moving picture, grossing $111 million on a upkeep of $47 million. This was also the final moving picture starring Julia to exist released in his lifetime.

Plot [edit]

Gomez and Morticia Addams hire a nanny named Debbie Jellinsky to take care of their newborn son Pubert after his older siblings (Wednesday and Pugsley)'s failed attempts to impale him, for which Gomez and Morticia gently rebuke them.

Unbeknownst to them, Debbie is a serial killer who marries rich bachelors and murders them to collect their inheritances. After Debbie seduces Uncle Fester, Midweek becomes suspicious of her intentions. To maintain her cover, Debbie tricks Gomez and Morticia into assertive Wednesday and Pugsley want to go to summertime camp.

Wed and Pugsley are sent to Camp Chippewa, managed by the always cheerful and lively Gary and Becky Granger, where they are singled out by the counselors and pop (and snobbish) daughter Amanda Buckman for their macabre appearance and behavior. Joel Glicker, a nerdy bookworm and fellow outcast, becomes attracted to Wednesday. Debbie and Fester become engaged.

At her bachelorette party, Debbie is repulsed by the Addams family and their relatives. On their honeymoon, she tries to kill Fester past throwing a boombox into the bathtub, but she fails. Frustrated, Debbie forces him to cut ties with his family; when they try to visit Fester and Debbie at their home, they are removed from the bounds. The Addams are alarmed to find that Pubert has transformed into a blueish-eyed, rosy-cheeked, blond-haired babe. Grandmama diagnoses this as a consequence of his disrupted family life and Gomez becomes horribly depressed.

At camp, the counselors cast Wednesday equally Pocahontas in Gary'due south Thanksgiving play. When she refuses to participate, she, Pugsley, and Joel are all sent to the army camp's "Harmony Hut", where they are forced to watch Bambi, Lassie Come Dwelling, The Little Mermaid, The Sound of Music, and The Brady Bunch. Afterwards, the three feign cheerfulness, and Wednesday agrees to take part. However, during the performance, she reveals her deception and returns to her old self and stages a coup, with the assist of her blood brother and Joel, with fellow outcast campers. They capture Amanda, Gary, and Becky, and fix the camp on fire. After, Wednesday and Joel share their first kiss before separating for a time, with Joel staying behind to pb their friends to ensure the camp'due south permanent destruction while the Addams siblings return dwelling house via a hijacked camp van.

Debbie tries to kill Fester by blowing up their mansion, merely he survives. She and so pulls a gun and reveals she never loved him and that she was only interested in his money. The Thing drives Debbie's auto into her and helps Fester escape. Fester apologizes to Gomez upon his render to the Addams' business firm, and Midweek and Pugsley return, successfully reuniting the family together. Debbie takes another car and drives to Fester's house, where she ties the family to electric chairs, explaining—while the Addamses heed sympathetically—that she killed her parents and ii previous husbands for incredibly frivolous and materialistic reasons. Upstairs, the at present-restored-to-normally pale, moustached Pubert escapes from his crib and, via a series of improbable events, is propelled by the bowling brawl into the room where the family is beingness held. Debbie throws the switch to electrocute them, but Pubert manipulates the wires and reverses the current, electrocuting her instead and incinerating her into a pile of ash and credit cards past rescuing all of his family unit members from their deaths, fulfilling the family unit's creed of vengeance against those who cross them.

Some time later, at Pubert'south start-altogether party (attended by all the Addams relatives and Joel), Fester laments Debbie'south loss, but shortly becomes smitten with Dementia (the new baby nanny for Cousin Itt and his wife, Margaret). In the family graveyard, Wednesday tells Joel that Debbie was a sloppy killer and she would instead scare her husband to death. Every bit Joel lays flowers on Debbie'south grave, a manus emerges from the earth and grabs him. He screams while Wednesday smiles.

Production [edit]

The "family values" in the picture's championship is a tongue-in-cheek reference by writer Paul Rudnick to a 1992 spoken communication ("Reflections on Urban America") made by and so-Vice Presidential candidate Dan Quayle. In the speech, Quayle controversially blamed the 1992 Los Angeles riots on a breakup of "family values".^[4]

Michael Jackson'due south involvement [edit]

American singer Michael Jackson was supposed to characteristic a song in the motion-picture show chosen "Addams Groove/Family Affair".^[vi] The song is generally rumored to have been removed due to the child sexual abuse allegations against Jackson; in reality, it was because of contractual differences with Paramount Pictures.^[7] The song has since been leaked online.^[viii] Jackson is referenced in the movie via a poster in the Harmony Hut advertising his 1992 unmarried "Heal the World", which horrifies Joel.

Reception [edit]

Box office [edit]

Addams Family Values opened at number 1 at the US box office in its opening weekend with a reported gross of $14,117,545.^[xi] In its second calendar week, the moving picture dropped to number 2 backside Mrs. Doubtfire, and in its tertiary week to number 3 behind Mrs. Doubtfire and A Perfect World.^[12] Its terminal box part gross in the United states and Canada was $48,919,043, a significant decline from the previous moving-picture show'south domestic total of $113,502,426.^[13] Internationally it grossed $62 million, for a worldwide total of $110.9 million.^[2] In retrospect, Barry Sonnenfeld: "I was disappointed in the box office for the 2d moving-picture show. I retrieve the first motion-picture show is more than romantic and the 2nd film is funnier. Office of the reason it didn't exercise besides is that the marketing of the movie was so similar to the commencement ane that people didn't think information technology was going to exist any value-added and I really wanted to push the Pubert of it all and the Fester of it all. Instead, the whole campaign was dorsum with the original Addams Family, and so information technology wasn't really promising anything new. I call back that'south in part why it didn't do likewise. Many people honey it as much or more as the kickoff 1.^[xiv]

Critical response [edit]

I'm of the firm belief that the Addams Family unit are the well-nigh loving, caring and continued family that has ever graced the silver screen. They are wildly devoted to each other, bear witness an interest in what the others are doing and spend tons of quality time together. In all honesty, in that location's quite a chip to be jealous [of] when watching them.

—Jonathan Barkan, Bloody Disgusting, 2015^[xv]

Addams Family unit Values was well received, receiving significantly better reviews than the first picture show.^[16] On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film received an approval rating of 77% based on 52 reviews, with an average rating of six.54/ten. The site's critical consensus reads, "New, well-developed characters add dimension to this batty satire, creating a comedy much more substantial than the original."^{[17] [18]} On Metacritic, the moving picture has a weighted average score of 62 out of 100 based on twenty critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".^[19] Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an boilerplate class of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, a grade up from the "B" earned by the previous motion picture.^[xx]

Janet Maslin of The New York Times wondered if "the making of this sequel was sheer drudgery for all concerned," then answered herself by writing, "There's simply too much glee on the screen, thank you to a bandage and visual conception that were perfect in the first identify and a screenplay by Paul Rudnick that specializes in delightfully arch, subversive sense of humor."^[21] Leonard Klady of Diverseness was slightly less enthusiastic than Maslin: "It remains perilously slim in the story department, but glides over the thin ice with technical razzle-dazzle and an exceptionally winning bandage."^[22] Richard Schickel, writing for Fourth dimension, was even less enthuastic than Klady, calling the moving-picture show "an substantially lazy moving-picture show, too often settling for easy gags and special effects that don't come to any really funny point."^[23] Both Cistron Siskel and Roger Ebert had disliked the first film. Siskel gave Addams Family Values a mixed review and accused Sonnenfeld of caring more about how the film looks than how the jokes play. Ebert, however, gave the movie iii stars out of four and thought that, unusually for a sequel, it improved upon its predecessor. He enjoyed the various subplots and recommended the film.^{[24] [25]}

Accolades [edit]

The movie was nominated for an Academy Honor in the category Best Art Direction (Ken Adam, Marvin March), but lost to Schindler's List;^[26] and Huston was nominated for the 1993 Golden Globe Accolade for Best Actress – Motion Motion picture Musical or Comedy for her operation as Morticia, a reprise of her Gold World-nominated performance in the 1991 original.
