It's on AMC right now... I am so psyched (see my icon)

Wednesday and Pugsley are going into the "Harmony Hut"...

I can't wait to hear Debbie say "MAL-I-BU Barbie" when explaining how her parents mistreated her.

LOL

This was my favorite movie in 1994. The whole thing is just hilariously written. How I mourned when my Addams Family love parade was rained upon by the death of Raul Julia that same year!

The best scene is the one where the camp misfits stage a riot against all the blonde burbies. Joan Cusack was a real find, too.

I loved that movie when I was a kid. I haven;t watched it in years!

Truly one of the best film sequels of all time. Second only to Grease 2.

Gomez: He has my father's eyes.
Morticia: Gomez, take those out of his mouth.
I was so obsessed with this movie when I was in Middle School. I need to buy it on DVD.

LOVE this movie. I didn't know a sequel could be this much better than the original!

I love Grease 2 for the same reasons!!!
I, of course, love Merrily to death as well!
Nice to have a fellow flop fan

I first saw this movie when I was 9, had the video, and watched it constantly until I was about 12. I went back and watched it 2 years ago and was shocked at the amount of jokes that went over my head.

Gomez: I have seen the unholy maggots which feast in the dark recesses of the human soul!
Morticia: They're at camp.

It is those kind of lines that make me LOVE this movie!

Pugsley: Our parents are having a baby too.
Wednesday: They had sex.

I love Anjelica Huston's delivery of Morticia's lines.

So calm, so cool... LOL "They're at camp"...LOL

Morticia: You have gone too far. You have married Fester, you have destroyed his spirit, you have taken him from us. All that I could forgive. But Debbie... pastels?

THAT

LINE!

Even calm Morticia has her breaking point... LOL.

This is one rare dark comedy that gets the tone just right. The original was another one.

My favorite line: "Guess what they got me? MALIBU Barbie! That's not what I wanted. That's not who I was. I was a ballerina: Graceful, delicate! That had to go...".

Good stuff.

Amanda: Why are you dressed like somebody died?
Wednesday: Wait.

Morticia and Wednesday just totally made this movie for me with all their little responses... hehe

Nobody's mentioned Wednesday's best line when they do the lifesaving exercise.

Annoying Girl: I'll be the victim!
Wednesday: All your life.

Silent auction? If you spoke were you asked to leave?

Omigosh, Beaverhausen! That is so cool.

(I just had a mental image of Karen Walker and Morticia Addams meeting. Would that be a scream or what!)

One of my favorite movies ever!!

Debbie: These Addams men, where do you find them?
Morticia: It has to be damp.

Harriet Harris is also in the movie, but has a very small part. She is the mother of the snobby girl, Amanda, and she gets pied in the face or something. I always find it interesting when I come across Broadway actors/actresses in movies.

Don't forget Christine Baranski & Charles Busch are in this movie too!

Oh yeah, that guy. Is he still around?

[popcultureboy]

Posted: 1/25/05 at 7:45am

Don't think so, I think he left with all those others.
