My Thoughts on the Reunion


Pros
- The cast is decent. I mean, for a kids movie.

- The return of Lurch helps bridge The Addams Family & The Addams Family Values and once again does a magnificent job.

- The movie is an overall slapsticky good time. It's fun to watch.

Cons

- Where did Pubert go? Was Warner Bros. too cheap to get hire a baby?
- Pugsley was too big, even for the role of Pugsley.
- Tim Curry does not properly convey the Gomez look. However, his acting was great.
- Mysteriously, has Wensday become younger?
- My biggest complaint of the Reunion, is the loss of the macarbre perspective that made The Addams Family & The Addams Family Values classic films.

I don't think Pubert would have still been a baby several years later. Also, you have to wonder what happened to Cousin Itt's wife Margaret.

Just a different take on it.

It wasn't meant to be Part 3 of the other two films.

reply

Yet on the Irish VHS cover's, it's labelled as a sequel.

Teenage to answer some your questions this Addams Family is more insync with the original TV show... not the other two movies. this is supported by some your cons

you ask "where did pubert go?" well in the 60s show he didn't exist. nor does he in this movie. what you mean the RETURN of Lurch??? Lurch is in BOTH Addams Family and Addams Family Values. To complete the fact that this is more related to the old show than the new movies is Fester. in Addams Family and Addams Family Values, "Uncle Fester" is Gomez's biological brother Uncle Fester Addams. He's only "uncle" Fester to Pugsly and Wednesday. In Addams Family Reunion "Uncle Fester" is Morticia's actual uncle. his name in Addams Family Reunion and in the original show was Uncle Fester FRUMP, Frump being Morticia's Maiden name.


also i'm not sure on pugsly and wednesday but they may have switched around who was the oldest. I THINK, but i'm not sure so don't hold me to this, that in "Reunion" and The old show Pugsly was the oldest. Where as Wednesday repeatedly picks on Pugsly in the the first 2 movies...I think Wednesday might be meant to be the older of the two children. again i'm not POSITIVE on that though.

I hope this clears up any Continuity questions you had.

Wrong. In one scene Gomez asks "Where is my brother?". And his last name is never said.

This is not my signature. This is IMDb's automatic translation of my signature.

I don't think this movie was ever meant to be a sequel nor canon to the first 2. The first 2 movies were based of the comics. This movie was based more of the 1960's TV series.
