Review:
This was unusual and not really in the typical it’s Addams family so it should be unusual way. Wednesday isn’t feeling like she fits in with the family at all and is distancing, while her dad decides what she needs is to be closer to them and they set off on a family vacation. And a man is chasing them to get Wednesday.
The movie had some funny bits and it was entertaining for the most part I did lose interest further in the movie towards the end but most of it held me. It was interesting seeing how they worked within the real world and what lengths they’d go to out run the man chasing them.
It was interesting as it followed Wednesday in her who am I really phase and the am I really part of this family or not phase. Her crisis to find an answer to her endless unwanted questions were kinda interesting as in the first one she found out about this other world so it worked quite well as a continuation and perfect follow on storyline to that.
Overall this was better than the first movie by a lot, but it wasn’t perfect, but it was entertaining for most of the movie and I did enjoy it. It’s easy and very oddball and quirky and helps pass time.
