Addams Family Values
54Watch it awake.
Macabre jokes with a baby at the center. Fine for a family that already likes them and can take a mean wit.
The review
Wednesday remains the conscience, which is a joke and also true. The camp is a bright tyranny of smiles, and the film is on the side of the children who will not perform it. Pubert is a baby the family actually wants. That want is the warm fact under the punchlines. The jokes are sharper than the first film, and some of them are only sharp.
A house with young children who frighten easily should wait. A house that can hear a satire of cheerfulness without copying the cruelty can laugh and still put the baby to bed like a normal gang.

The glance
Industry and Piety are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Freaky Friday
65 instead of 54
Freaky Friday is still a comedy film, and it scores 65 instead of 54. What you gain is industry: A therapist's practice and a school's day, both shown as real work.
