Addams Family Reunion Review

[@MFields2178]

FUN FACT: This was actually the plot to the third Addams Family movie if Raul Julia was alive but it was changed over the years. The title was going to be Addams Family Tree. Tree - Three. Get it?

[@mathieuleader8601]

interesting

Euthoric

[@storybeauty4517]

To be fair, Tim Curry is the only good part in this movie. Shame he couldn't be Gomez in a better Addams Family adaptation.

[@NoxAtlas]

I watched the Addams movies many years ago and totally fell in love with the first two movies. Even though the Addams family was weird and creepy, they were so likeable in their own way and I as the naive kid I was, would have loved to be adopted by them. And the message was always very clear: they are nice, benevolent and very hospitable to everyone, never caring (or at least never noticing) how people are weirded out by their lifestyle. And they always lived out their murderous hobby in the family and didnt try to do that with normal people, which means they are aware that humans are far more fragile than them. But if you dare to harm a family memember, you'll end up six feet underground. That's why Margret lived and became a family member while the true villains died. The third movie was so unwatchable and unfunny, I never managed to finish it. I couldn't even remember the plot anymore, just how awful it was. All the redeeming qualities of the Addams family were removed and they were now kinky psychopathic murderers. Worst of all: the movie is totally missing the point of what the Addams family is supposed to be: a perfectly functional picture-book family whose only "flaws" are their hobbies and their morbid lifestyle.

[@takkycat]

Blankeye-Sigma very true! Even Wednesday, the little sociopath, never acts outright malicious to anyone outside of her brother (not counting messing with them with a little scare) unless she is provoked. She teases, which I see as her version of “playful”, but never tries to harm them unless she is given a darn good reason. She will usually even give her version of a warning first!

[@NoxAtlas]

@@takkycat Exactly. At least you could see that she had a good side too. She freed Margaret from the finger trap after being politely asked, she only chooses her brother as her victim because it's just how they play as siblings. And her short relationship with Joel was sweet. I was actually very impressed how much shit she took in the camp until she finally decided to fight back. And even then she didnt kill or seriously harm anyone... at least not physically

[@mightyfilm]

The line about being descendants of John Adams reminds me of the line from 3rd Rock: "You mean John QUINCY Adams?! You're comparing me to THAT freak show?!"

[@christiantracey1479]

Now that you recall John Astin on performing as the grandparent, they actually got him to play Grandpapa in The New Addams Family

[@SharpDesign]

That makes more sense than having him play the fake grandpa "Adams" in this movie.

[@v1de0gamr23]

Given how much of Glenn Taranto's performance was inspired by John Astin's Gomez, it was easy to believe that the two were related.

I’m living for the Gomez and Morticia costumes Bob and Raven are doing for these videos 👏👏👏

[@JenMistress]

When I was a little girl, I liked Addams Family and Addams Family Values on par with the original B&W series, but hated Addams Family Reunion. As I got older, couldn't remember why. Thank you, Bobsheaux and Raven for reminding me why. Also, that idea you two came up with at the end, that's the Addams Family Reunion I would have liked to have seen. Too bad you two were not in the creative team for that movie. Anyways, thank you again.

[@rasslinreads5666]

I remember being a kid and LOVING the first two films. They are still my favorite movies till this day! But seeing this I wretched is HORROR 😂 I still cringe smh

[@92JazzQueen]

As much as I love me some Tim Curry, Raul Julia was made to be Gomez.

[@magicalpasta5462]

And John Astin

[@SuperSwordman1]

So I recently chose to rewatch the '92 animated Addams Family (still great) the joke was also used there, and with Wednesday as well. "The robins are singing, the sky is azure blue... it's another miserable sunny day"

[@MovieMadness23]

Can we talk about the obvious fat suit that Pugsley is wearing?

[@BugsyFoga]

Tim Curry honestly seems not too bad of a choice for Gomez.

[@beethovensfidelio]

Nathaniel Foga He looks a bit like Raul Julia.

[@amberace]

I love all his roles, esp this one.

[@dubuyajay9964]

@The Super Monteiro Bros. I still prefer the 60s original, but Raul was good.

[@justsomeokami8867]

Nathaniel Foga At least he was trying and he’s charming enough to forgive the shortcomings of his character.

[@idongesitusen5764]

When he's given good material to work with, he's great. This is not one of those times.

[@garthst.claire3459]

I always had the theory that no matter what happens to you at the hands or in the house of the Addams Family you are safe from any actual harm as long as you aren't trying to murder or seriously harm the Addamses themselves (hence why Debbie died, but Amanda survived) the Addams aren't murderers. As to this "movie".... if this was supposed to lead into the "New Addams Family" series then the "we don't know our own relatives" is even weirder, since, from what I remember the 90s show was just remakes/"updated" versions of the original episodes form the 60s, with all the extended family that shows up in them.

[@aaronanderson1036]

[@CrimsionVision]

Tim Curry as Gomez has got to be one of the best casting choices for a bad film.

[@marc8131]

I have a feeling Bob’s not going to like this one.

[@ironvlogger9712]

First, the Gomez and Morticia look is the best costumes Bobsheaux and Raven have ever worn, second, Tim Curry was a good Gomez. Raul Julia and Sean Astin would be proud, had the writing been actually good, he would have been better

[@monstercombo007]

You could say this movie wasn't spooky or kooky but altogether Ooky. :P

[@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose]

Ha ha, nice one! It's certainly accurate XD

[@the-nina-beans88]

5:49 My guess... the actor is a fan of Tim Curry and.... I let your imagination take over on that one.

[@sarahsims6164]

32:00 Ok, then explain the showgirl in the cake at Fester's bachelor party in the same sequel. She was in there before Lurch baked it; they even acknowledged that. Now, I realize that was an accident, but still.

[@Bobsheaux]

Exactly. They didn't MEAN to kill her, but... c'est la vie! There's a difference between accidentally killing someone and then having a good laugh about it (dark as it is), and outright murdering someone with every intention of doing so.

[@icecreamhero2375]

6:21 that is not Gomez he is supposed to be easy going but strict when he had to be. Ans happy all the time.

[@micshork]

The only Plus in this film is Tim Curry. Had They moved forward with the 3rd planned film and re-cast Gomez with Tim Curry I'm sure audiences would have accepted it. They could have done a "In Memory of of Raul Julia" in the the credits.

[@gracekim1998]

Theory: the granny lost her mind by being in this movie

[@hjalmar.poelzig]

I havent seen the movie but I've always thought that Tim Curry fits the physical description of Gomez Addams as depicted in the New Yorker cartoons better than anyone who has played the role. The only actor who could have been better would be Peter Lorre.

[@AirknightTails]

27:13 LOL Raven xD

[@SuperSwordman1]

Can't say I ever heard of this one. I've seen (and loved) the original live action film and Adams Family Values, but this one I have no idea about. But just from the song over the title card, this is gonna hurt.

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Now Gomez has a British accent due to being played by Tim Curry

[@aidanhever3369]

You forgot to mention that bimbo who was rescued by Lurch is the same gal who played Divatox from Power Rangers Turbo.

[@Snowmon89]

Morgticia: Oh Delores. Such a beautiful name. Gormez: In Latin it means pain and sorrow. Bob: Of all the things this movie gets wrong, it somehow manages to get that part right. Me: Wait what? Why.... Know what, nevermind. (Edit: Okay, yeah I looked it up.) Why is Dolores A NAME? Origin of the name Dolores: Derived from the Spanish dolores (sorrows, aches). The name, bestowed in honor of the Virgin Mary, "Maria de los Dolores" (Mary of the Sorrows), makes reference to the seven sorrows of Mary in her relationship with her son. Makes sense.

[@mmeers89]

I never realized that Phillip Adams' sister in this film is played by Divatox of Power Rangers Turbo.

[@MamaSodaLego]

You know the kid who plays Pugsley Addams grew up to be the fedora tipping guy don't you?

[@v1de0gamr23]

I don't assume that the first film would have revolved around the carolers' families suing the Addamses for pouring boiling oil on them. There's a myriad of movies (especially in the 90s) that have characters doing things without consequence when real people would have gotten sued and/or arrested 🤷

[@VictorianDemonica]

There’s also another thing I noticed that didn’t make it into this movie - Cousin Itt’s wife, Margaret, and their child, What. I mean seriously, Cousin Itt and Margaret were cute together and it might have been nice if the normal Adams couple saw them at the Addams Family house and saw how strange yet loving they were - it might have made the subplot at least somewhat touching. Also, What was adorable!!!!!

[@lady-sam-113]

you guys make a great gomez & morticia! thanks to you guys I discovered this movie! Love from holland!

[@angelsinthewindow]

You would think Tim Curry would be able to make a good Gomez, but I kind of feel the director was limiting him so badly because they don't let him have the sophisticated feel that the good Gomez has. It feels like he was being forced to push his silliness.

[@SuperSwordman1]

Yeah I don't know why, but for some reason I feel Tim was misscast as Gomez. I do hope it was the director, I would hate to think Tim was just destined to under perform a role

[@angelsinthewindow]

@@SuperSwordman1 I don't think he was misscast myself, I have seen him in a lot of other shows where he actually felt very similar to Gomez. I really feel like it was the directors fault in this one. Tim Curry is one of my favorite actors so I may be biest but I know he can do better then what he was putting out. It seemed even Bob thought that because he did say how Curry did pretty good but leading lady was like a cardboard cut out.

Can we all agree that this movie would have been much better if Bob and raven had been the ones playing Gomez and Tish?

[@RavenFoxAudio]

Unfortunately, even we would have been at the mercy of the terrible writing.

[@christophercase6042]

I never really consider this movie canon to the other two. And that's beside the Fanon Discontinuity card (I mindset I usually don't like). That being said I *may* have my own explaination for Pubert's absence. When I was a kid, I used to consider "The New Addams Family" canon to the movies; my explaination for the lack of Pubert's presance was because TNAF was set during the seven month period between the first movies climax and epilogue. Now that I'm older than nerdier, and I have the knowledge that this was a pilot movie to TNAF, I think this would mean this movie also took place in that seven month time frame. Meaning Pubert wasn't even conceived yet here. I guess that would also mean this movie and the series would be a midquel rather than a sequel.

[@HiperPivociarz]

Dammit, Saban! Maybe one day when work didn't mentally exhaust me, I can bring back my written review to either have the theme be Saban films, MGM films, Paramount Animated films, or any film distributed by FHE.

[@garretthochmuth4522]

my reaction to Bill Scarsgard and/or Sam Wittwir playing was as followed, and I quote... YES! YES! YES!

[@nickmanzo8459]

... you know I think I just figured something out. The original line about Dolores’ husband being a psychiatrist was supposed to be “He’s considered one of the leading Head Shrinkers!!!” To which Gomez would assume she meant a Witch Doctor. That would actually make sense and be kinda funny. The producers most likely were so fucking stupid, they assumed that kids would t get the joke... and then didn’t change the punchline in spite of the fact that it made no fucking sense. Christ!!!

In the original show they didn't even like dogs. So they added it here, I guess. But hey: They have Tim Curry, right? And furthermore: The story about the previous Addams's were already mentioned in the episode "Addams Family Family Tree". And John Astin was already Grandpa Addams in "The New Addams Family". There Pubert was mentioned as "the little one". Wednesday, played by the same actress as here, said that there were three of them but Pugsley ate the little one.
