The Addams Family is a 1991 film featuring The Addams Family. A con artist and her son take advantage of Uncle Fester's 25-year absence to try to steal the Addams fortune.

Summary[]

Gomez reflects sorrowfully on the years his brother Fester has been lost, whom he has not seen for 25 years due to a falling-out between them. Gomez' lawyer, Tully Alford, is desperate to pay off his loan shark, so he proposes to create the "Fester Addams Offshore Retirement Fund." Gomez, oblivious to the real purpose, says that they should not do business in the next quarter. Meanwhile, Alford's wife, Margaret, asks Morticia to donate to a charity auction. Morticia offers a bejeweled fingertrap from the court of Emperor Wu and invites the Alfords to a séance in which they will attempt to contact Uncle Fester's spirit. Tully returns to work to find his loan shark, Abigail Craven, and her son, Gordon, waiting for him. Gordon harasses Tully until he discovers the gold doubloons with which Gomez has paid his monthly expenses. Tully notices just how similar Gordon looks to Fester and proposes that Gordon pose as Fester to infiltrate the Addams' house to find the vault where they keep their vast riches. At the séance, Granny Frump attempts to contact Fester's spirit, demanding he knock three times. Just then, they hear three knocks at the door. They answer it to find Gordon, posing as Fester, and Ms. Craven, posing as a psychiatrist named Dr. Greta Pinder-Schloss.

She informs them that Fester had been found in Miami, tangled in a tuna net, during Hurricane Helga. After extensive testing, the Florida Department of Fish and Game declared this was indeed Fester. Gordon says he can only stay with the family for a week since he has "things cooking in the Bermuda Triangle." Gomez is initially overjoyed but becomes more and more suspicious. Fester fails to remember important events from their childhood: when Gomez had his first cigar, the combination to the vault, and their secret names for each other. He takes him to the vault to show some old home movies and asks forgiveness for the reason for Gomez and Fester's falling out: Gomez was jealous of Fester's ways with women and wooed both the beautiful Flora and Fauna Amor twins even though he didn't love them. After buying back their own bejeweled fingertrap for $50,000 at the charity auction, Gordon asks how to take it off, something Fester should have known since he had been stuck wearing that same fingertrap for two years but which Gordon does not remember. Gomez stews over these inconsistencies while playing Trainwreck.

Gordon attempts to access the vault but cannot remember which of the many chains to pull. He pulls the wrong one and is yanked upwards, then sent down a slide into a shark tank, then flushed from the house. Morticia meets him outside and leads him on a tour of the graveyard before reminding him of the family creed: Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc, meaning "We gladly feast on those who would subdue us."

Gordon thinks that the family suspects his ruse, so Abigail, as Dr. Pinder-Schloss, convinces Gomez that his suspicion is nothing more than Displacement. Meanwhile, Gordon shows signs that he is growing close to the family: he spends time with Wednesday and Pugsley, helping with the sword fight scene for their school play and teaching them about explosives. Abigail hatches a plan to pretend not to be interested in the school play, thus leaving the house vacant so they can get to the vault. Gordon breaks from the plan by instead going to watch Wednesday and Pugsley's scene in the play. Abigail tries to enter the house anyway but is trapped by the sentient plants outside the house.

The next morning, Morticia tells Dr. Pinder-Schloss that Gomez and Fester have reconciled and that they've planned a party honoring Fester's return. This gives Gordon and his mother another opportunity to reach the vault. At the party, the Addams clan gathered to celebrate. When Wednesday is sent to check on Fester, she finds Gordon in the bathroom, with his mother shaving his head. The two of them are talking about their plans for the evening. Wednesday realizes that he is fake and escapes to the family graveyard as Gordon chases her. Meanwhile, Flora and Fauna tell Tully that Fester, being the older brother, would be the executor of the Addams estate and would thus inherit everything on their property. Tully makes a hasty exit and enlists the aid of Gomez' neighbor, Judge Womack, who's fed up with the Addams' ookiness, such as the golf balls Gomez hits through his windows. The judge enthusiastically agrees to help.

Once the party is over, it is discovered that Wednesday is missing. All of the Addamses except Gordon go to search for her. Gomez finds her sleeping in a crypt in the cemetery. When they returned home, they found the gate barred and locked, with Tully behind it. He reveals that he had installed a restraining order that demands that the Addams Family stay at least a thousand yards from the property. When he reveals that the entire Addams estate now belongs to Fester since he is the older brother, Morticia protests that Fester loves Gomez, but Tully reveals that the latter's time with the Amor sisters had brought his memories back and that he is now afraid of his brother. When Gomez demanded that he speak to Fester, Tully refused this request and just ordered him and the Addams Family to leave. When Gomez takes the issue to court, Judge Womack rules against him in favor of Fester, all he could make Gomez suffer, though he does give him his golf balls back. Defeated, the Addams family was forced to move to a motel.

While Gordon, his mother, and Tully Alford repeatedly try and fail to reach the vault, the Addamses try to adapt to their new situation. To support the family, Wednesday and Pugsley open a lemonade stand. Morticia tries to become a preschool teacher, but her rendition of Hansel and Gretel makes all the children bawl their eyes out. Thing inexplicably gets a job as a courier for Federal Express. Gomez is so despondent that he refuses to do anything but watch daytime TV and eat snack food.

It pains Morticia to see her family living like this, so she returns to the mansion to confront Gordon. She is subdued by Tully and Craven, who torture her to learn how to reach the vault, but of course she enjoys it. Thing sees all this and returns to the motel, where he informs Gomez that his beloved wife is in trouble. Gomez rushes to her rescue, but Abigail pulls a gun on him. She demands that he take them to the vault, or she will kill Morticia.

Disgusted by the torture of his family and by Abigail's constant worsening badgering, Fester takes matters into his own hands and opens a book titled Hurricane Irene, which produces a mighty wind that blows Tully and Abigail out the window and into open graves, which were freshly dug by Pugsley, Wednesday, and Thing. Pugsley asks Wednesday, "Are they dead?" and Wednesday replies, "Does it matter?"

Seven months later, all is well with the family as they regained their home and are now throwing a Halloween party. Moreover, Uncle Fester's memories have returned for real, and the story of him being found in Miami but having amnesia was actually true. As Fester and the children rush out to the graveyard for a rousing game of "Wake the Dead," Gomez ponders what could possibly make life better, and Morticia then holds up a three-legged sleeper she has been knitting, which reveals that she is pregnant.

  • In a 2012 interview, Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of the movie, stated that he originally intended that it be unclear whether Fester really was an impostor or not, but all the other actors rebelled and chose 10-year-old Christina Ricci to speak on their behalf, who "gave this really impassioned plea that Fester shouldn't be an impostor... so we ended up totally changing that plot point to make the actors happy. And they were right — it was the better way to go."
  • Originally an Orion Pictures property, they were strapped for cash and began selling off promising film projects, including The Addams Family. Orion still maintained non-U.S. distribution rights to the film thanks to Columbia.
