Addams Family/Addams Family Values Double Feature (DVD)

This may be the only instance of a TV sitcom being re-imagined for the big screen and succeeding big time—not just one but twice! The producers showed rare perception in retaining the most essential aspect of the TV show: that this extremely peculiar family (with one exception) has no idea that they are in any way peculiar. The exception is young daughter Wednesday, played with chilling comic perfection by Christina Ricci, who does seem to see the larger world as being out of tune with the values her family holds dear, values she perhaps holds to more deeply and tenaciously because of that. (She certainly sees through the scam artists who try to take her family down in both films far more quickly than any of her relatives.) Another very special asset is the late and greatly lamented Raul Julia, who invests Gomez with enormous energy, charm and passion, all undergirded by delirious and indomitable lunacy. It's hard to imagine anyone else ever approaching, let along matching, his pedal-to-the-metal portrayal of the Addams patriarch.Anjelica Huston, on the other hand, delivers a fine Morticia. As calm and soft-spoken as Julia's Gomez is expansive and declamatory, Huston's Morticia makes the unusual aspects of their marital relationship as well as their parenting sound perfectly reasonable. Kudos also go to Christopher Lloyd's Fester for manfully carrying the burden of the plots of both films, a situation that somewhat restricts the character's ability to share in the happy madness of the rest of the family.If one character comes up a bit short, it's Lurch. Carel Struycken's version come straight from the Chas Addams cartoons rather than through the TV show—a looming, nonverbal presence who brings a nice touch of pathos to the proceedings. For all that, it's hard not to recall Ted Cassidy's somewhat more talkative Addams Family retainer as the more effective portrayal; the long-suffering yet stoic demeanor of that Lurch, along with his more direct interactions with the family members, were among the most memorable aspects of the TV show.

I love these two movies! The fact that they sell them in a bundle makes a huge difference - nice and easy to help purchase. Hopefully, this will make it easier to purchase (yes, again with the repeat word) and hopefully with the same horses we can make it work

Brought me right back to my childhood my grandmother loved this now I gotta call her for movie night

Two very cool movies! The first is about how Gomaze looses Fester for 25 years. Then a so called pretend Fester comes back to impersonate Fester and grabs the Adams cash. But what he doesn't realise he is Fester but had had a trauma all those years ago and forgotten who he is. A woman found him and told him she was his mother. So plots with in plots but truth will always out! Get it and see how.The second movie is about Fester again. This time he gets married for what he believes is true love. Unfortunately the woman he marries wants his cash again. She tries to kill him off once married and get his fortune. BUT with an Adam's it aint that simple. He has a huge battle of surviving the woman and getting back to his family.Two great comedies, Gomaze and Morticia are just wonderful and Wednesday shows her true colours of whats to come! Fabulous!

Recently I made a joke about the Addams Family, and my husband was confused because he had never heard of the franchise. So I bought this, which was about $6 with Prime shipping at the time, because I figured this needed to be rectified. We haven't watched both movies yet, but I was very pleased to find that the original script really holds up well to time, since I haven't seen this movie since a couple of years after it came out. Raul Julia was hilarious, and the dialogue is amazingly clever.They don't make comedies like this much anymore. If you've never seen them, you at least owe it to yourself to watch the first one. I sort of recall the second one is cheesier, but it's still worth one watch at least. Also we watched it on a 55" LED television and the picture quality was quite good, because our Bluray player up-scales regular DVDs, which is nice.

Delivered quickly and great to have both on the same DVD. If you love the movies, add the DVD to your collection. (You could always import them onto your computer/itunes to watch on your smart phone, too.)

Original, spooky, funny and entertaining !My taste in movies is very large, it can be drama, trillers, comedy, history, science fiction, fantastic, name them all. Any kind as long as it is original, well act and well made.Those two are original, comical, very well act and very well made. I simply love them, they are my Halloween classical favorites. The acting especially is wonderfully perform, all the actors are deeply involve in their own role and the spooky atmosphere that surround them is the finishing touch that provides the understanding of the reality of their world. It is a family that you fall in love with, simple as that.At the time were I was switching from VHS to DVD, I found it very expensive to buy them all - I had a collection of over 300 movies to replace. I was looking for those double features sets. Even today, that still is of a great value and I jumped on this one without any hesitation.If you like comedy, go for it. It is different and entertaining.

The film itself is excellent!However my copy arrived with its case totally smashed. it looked like it had been broken even before being sent as pieces of the case were missing when we were looking at what was broken, the packaging was not sufficient at all. Was a cheap looking with nothing more than the image you see on here on the case front. Luckily we don't use the DVD cases we have boxes you put all your dvds in to reduce space and hide them away. I bought mine from supermart_usa how ever a full refund was given.However some seem to have issues with the DVD not working. We did not. Have a logitec DVD player (not a new one had it about 5 - 6 years) and it plays it no problem at all and were in europe also. Unsure why it has no problems with this one as I have bought other DVD that haven't worked but this one works perfectly :P.

On ne présente plus la famille Addams.Chaque personnage est un monument à lui seul, c'est toujours un plaisir immense de voir et revoir ces films.

Recién comprada (oct. 2019) esta edición francesa doble, que aunque no lo diga en ningún lado, las 2 pelis vienen con audio en castellano (y también en inglés original y subtítulos en castellano). El castellano es el doblaje que conocemos. El que escuchamos cuando las echan por la tv. Porque como ya sabréis, nunca se editaron en España. Así que aunque la caja es fea, con textos en francés, y sin ningún extra mas que un mísero trailer, por lo menos ya las podemos disfrutar en casa!
