This movie is so iconic and quotable, and Debbie? Absolute queen. “But Debbie... pastel?” “You shouldn’t be married, you should be studied!” “What is she doing?” “Just a curse, have a nice day.” “Malibu Barbie!!”

[@j.woodbury412]

This movie has a lot of great lines. The line I like best from the first movie is when Wednesday was selling lemonade and the girl asked her if they were made from real lemons, and then the girl tried to sell Wednesday Girl Scout cookies and Wednesday asked her if they were made from real girl scouts.

The camp is for rich people if you noticed the sign when the camp leaders were talking. We just forget the Addams are rich people because they aren’t focused on that and don’t follow the behavior of rich people. Also, Joel and Wednesday are just another version of Morticia and Gomez like Gomez is emotional and understands feelings like Gomez.

[@broadwaybrook2319]

They also did that for baby Buddy in "Elf," although I think it was girl triplets that played baby Buddy. Same with baby Trevor in "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day," twin girls played a baby boy.

[@idrabohm3678]

Can people tell a baby's sex by appearance? They don't really have any secondary sex features as far as I know...

[@tracy4290]

It's tradition to use twins or triplets to play an individual baby; movie and TV studio lights can dehydrate babies so quickly. The sex of the babies doesn't tend to matter.

1:39 You know, to get that effect, they had to shine a bright spotlight in Angelica Huston's eyes and it gave her constant ocular migraines. It's one of the reasons she absolutely hated playing Morticia.

[@tranatkikomi6873]

I was reading this comment just as she’d said that!

[@broadwaybrook2319]

It's funny that in her scary story, Wednesday says, "All their old noses had grown back," because Christina Ricci plays Penelope, who tries to change the fact that she has a pig nose. Blonde Pubert reminds me of Elora Danan from "Willow," with all that adorable hair and rosy face.

[@SophiaPhannn]

Penelope is such a good movie too

[@nickthedreamer4434]

Fun fact: Pubert was Pugsley's original name that never ended up happening so it's nice to see that name come back around in some way. Also, the Nathan Lane cameo as the cop is extra hysterical when you realize he was the original Gomez Addams in the Broadway musical.

[@christianwise637]

This is definitely much better than the first one, in large part because they took all the goofy shenanigans and dialled them right up to eleven, and the entire cast were clearly having way more fun with that kind of energy. Joan Cusack is a way more fun villain than the previous film's one (does anyone else just hear Jessie from Toy Story whenever she yells at Fester?), and there's so many delightfully iconic scenes for Wednesday - her blunt summary of where babies come from, her intimidation of the prospective nannies, her hilariously creepy attempt at a smile, and of course her going ham on the -Hitler Youth- summer campers. It's the kind of campy kids' film that doesn't tend to get made these days, which I think is a real shame. Also, you mentioned the lighting on Morticia's eyes that's present throughout the entire film, that's actually an homage to the way her eyes were lit up in the opening of the 60s TV show

[@j.r.taylor1997]

Fun fact the name pubert was the original name for pugsly before they settled on pugsly for the original tv show. Also your hair is looking amazing

While i adore the series as a whole, the sequel is by far superior to me. And Debbie's origin story does not get enough credit at all. I wish i could use that monologue to audition to theatre schools. Truly an iconic villain

[@sabalos]

Perfect movie, in my opinion. It's so great that if you take the one central joke of the Addams family - that the Addamses embrace everything that 'normal' people find disgusting or stupid - and write honestly from that premise, you get a family that does things like kindness, emotional honesty, acceptance. Really underrated as a social satire. And yeah, they took a perfect cast (from the first movie) and improved on it somehow. Joan Cusack gets the role of a lifetime, there's even a better Grandmama in Carol Kane, and then Christine Baranski, Peter MacNicol, Nathan Lane and so on. A wonderful achievement, I think.

[@agenttheater5]

23:09 From what I've heard the Native Americans had better hygiene than the pilgrims. And from what I know about the pilgrims they wouldn't have allowed young women to wear their hair out of the cap.

[@tracy4290]

Yeah, the shampoo thing and the costuming in the play are part of the joke and classic "Hollywrong", because Gary and Becky have NO clue about historical reality.

[@snorpenbass4196]

The most ironic part of the whole Thanksgiving thing is that the guy who helped the settlers was a guy who'd been enslaved and dragged to Europe, then got freed halfway, spent some time learning English, then returned home and found his tribe gone from disease. So the reason he spoke English was because of that background.

[@slinkholmes3092]

The nose job trope is super annoying to me, cuz like, they always are depicting the most Aryan looking people "getting a nose job cuz they are vain" but in reality it's not rich white people who do that for their daughters. It's rich middle eastern and Asian parents. I found that out from just trying to find references for my art and my God you would not belive the amount of rhinoplasty before and afters Google will show you if you look up dorsal hump (which I would have if my mother took me to the hospital when my brother's car seat slammed into my face, now I gotta save up just to get the one Sicilian feature I hade back). Noses are some of the biggest indicators of ethnicity and the fact that it is so common to see people just try to give themselves a more "conventionally attractive" nose makes me so mad because ethnic features are beautiful. Our ancestors didn't evolve over hundreds of thousands of years for us to see what they gave us as ugly.

[@tracy4290]

"in reality it's not rich white people who do that for their daughters" I suspect that Aryan/white parents do it to their daughters WAY more than any of them want to admit. It's what we get with standardized and unrealistic ideals of beauty, and it's sad and gross.

[@TheHestya]

I never understood why people had issues with any noses. Thank you for informing those of us that didn't know there was such a cultural factor in it. This is very sad. I'm Eastern European and culture is so important to us. A connection to ancestry can mean so very much. I hope things change and the western society does better soon.

It takes three days. Someone who never liked turkey before liked mine. I have my own technique that expands the idea of brining to a two day method then I use lots of butter.
