But things take an interesting turn when the Addams' lawyer Tully (Dan Hedaya) ends up in too deep with devious loan shark Abigail (Elizabeth Wilson). The very creepy and kooky Addams Family is getting along fine, though Gomez Addams (the late and great Raul Julia) still laments the disappearance of his brother Fester 25 years earlier. but it's darned entertaining and is a great riff on a classic piece of source material. 'The Addams Family' might not be a perfect film. All the while, treating audiences to top-notch visuals and fantastic comedic turns from an all-star cast. with dark visual references, creepy double-entendres and plenty of cynical gallows humor gags. Loosely inspired by the original comics of creator Charles Addams, while taking many cues and nods from the beloved 1960's sitcom, Sonnenfeld crafted a delicious and delightful comedic throwback that's filled to burst with classic Addams humor. that film was 'The Addams Family', directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and released in 1991. For creating a respectful, honorable and faithful adaptation that kept changes to a necessary minimum while simply delivering a bigger and wilder version of what came before. But one particular film among them stands out for doing quite the opposite. Almost like the filmmakers were ashamed of the properties they were meant to be paying tribute to. But strangely, almost all of them were redone in typically either a self-satirical or self-deprecating way. they all got remade, rebooted and re-imagined for then-modern audiences. from 'The Brady Bunch' to 'Dudley Do-Right'. Everything from 'The Flintstones' to 'Charlie's Angels'. For some reason, the 90's and early 2000's were a bit of a heyday when it came to contemporary adaptations of kitschy old TV-shows and stories.
