Wednesday season 2 is currently the most-watched show on Netflix, which means everyone has Addams Family fever. But if you have binge watched the show and you’re now desperately waiting for Wednesday season 3, I’ve got the perfect recommendation.
Paramount+ added 127 new movies this month and among them is the perfect remedy if you’re desperate for more from Wednesday Addams.
Better yet, you can grab a great new Paramount+ deal that works out to just $2.50 a month, meaning you can catch one of my favorite movies for less.
Why I recommend Addams Family Values
Whether you’re a long-time fan of Charles Addams’ kooky family or you’ve just discovered them through Wednesday, I can guarantee you’ll have a great time with this movie.
Here, Christina Ricci plays the role of Wednesday Addams – she also had a role as Miss Thornhill in Netflix’s Wednesday. It’s fun revisiting this movie now and seeing her beloved performance.
With plenty of focus on all the fan favorites, the plot follows how the family responds to Morticia and Gomez’s new baby Pubert with hilarious results. There’s also subplots about Uncle Fester falling for a romance scam and Wednesday and Pugsley being sent to a summer camp, and it’s as entertaining as it sounds.
Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia are still my favorite Morticia and Gomez. Both in terms of costume, mannerisms and their dynamic, they perfectly bring to life this over the top, loved up couple.
All the characters here are well fleshed out and Christopher Lloyd (who we saw as Professor Orloff in Wednesday) plays an excellent Uncle Fester, making this a solid and well-known entry into the Addams Family universe.
Addams Family Values is also one of the rare occasions where a sequel is better than the first movie, though I do still recommend The Addams Family (also on Paramount+) for even more from these eccentric characters.
