Making one of the family a "new character" is a clever way of adding to the formula without having to bring in new characters to lead the film and it does work. The story is essentially a nail for us to hang our coats on so we can watch the gags come but even with this it is actually pretty good. One of the few remakes that actually works, The Addams Family takes the Gothic humour of the TV series and makes it feel fresh and entertaining. However Gomez's joy at his return is gradually marred by a sneaking feeling that Fester is not himself meanwhile Wednesday has no such doubts at all and is out to expose the impostor. Shaving his head, Gordon enters the Addams home as Fester and tries to use his spare time to get into the family vault. Tully has debts up the yazoo and the only thing that stops his knees being violently replaced with fresh air is the fact that Abigail Craven's son Gordon looks eerily like Gomez's missing brother Fester. The Addams family are far from being normal but they are rich and as such are their attorney's only chance of getting rich.
