Joan Cusack was great in this movie!


Ever since I was a little kid, I thought she stole the show in this movie!

The crying morphing into laughing, and the speech she gives to Fester after she tries to blow him up is absolutely hysterical!

"You're the missing link! You shouldn't be married...you should be studied! You're a big dumb weird thing!"

Hahaha! She just finally lays into him and completely cuts him down to size, and of course he's too dumb to put it all together. I laugh every time I see that scene, and the whole movie I'm waiting for that sequence.

Joan was awesome in this movie! Really underrated.

She was insane. And that's what made her great.

I agree 100%, she just owned that role. Pretty amazing that she stood out like that among a group of standouts. My favourite is Christina Ricci as Wednesday, but Cusack surely comes close.
