The Addams Family

Director
Greg Tiernan, Conrad Vernon
Certificate
PG
Running Time
87 mins

The stills make it look like one of those increasingly dire Hotel Transylvania animations, but the fact that this latest big-screen adaptation of Charles Addams‘s comics is directed by the duo behind Sausage Party at least gives some hope.

That said, it’s an update that sees the family move to New Jersey and tangle with a reality TV show host (Allison Janney). Hell, Wednesday (Chloe Grace Moretz) even embraces Instagram. The voice cast also includes Oscar Isaac as Gomez, Charlize Theron as Morticia, Finn Wolfhard as Pugsley, Nick Kroll as Uncle Fester and Snoop Dogg as Cousin Itt.
