Addams Family Values
1993 · Movie · PG-13 · 94 min · ★ 7.0 · 69% critics
A new baby shakes up a delightfully odd household, and the older kids don’t take the change well. When a charming nanny arrives with her own agenda, the family is pulled into chaotic clashes at home and a painfully wholesome summer camp, all with plenty of dark, offbeat humor.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quirky, dark comedy with summer-camp satire, big laughs, and a mischievous family vibe; Not for you if you dislike macabre jokes or goofy violence, like in Death Becomes Her.
Pros: sharp one-liners; dark, silly fun; standout ensemble energy | Cons: uneven story focus; some jokes too mean; not for serious moods
