A little slow getting started, but the action picks up after awhile.  Photography is quite stunning at times, but the acting left a bit to be desired.  Again it may have more to do with concentrating on subtitles.
An interesting story with some nice CG monsters and several little unexpected twists to the story throughout.
Worth a look.

Plot:
Looking for something CREEPY... SPOOKY... KOOKY... and altogether OOKY?

Come join The Addams Family for the most hilarious scarefest of this season or any other! When long-lost Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) reappears after twenty-five years in the Bermuda Triangle, Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) plan a celebration to wake the dead.

But Wednesday (Christina Ricci) barely has time to warm up her electric chair before Thing points out Fester's uncommonly "normal" behavior. Could this Fester be a fake, part of an evil scheme to raid the Addams fortune?

Based on Charles Addams' beloved cartoons and following the success of the hit TV series, The Addams Family is a visual funhouse, packed with plenty of treats, tricks and turns by director Barry Sonnenfeld.

Decided to watch this one today because I felt like something lighthearted and silly... plus I haven't seen it in years, as I just got the disc yesterday. And this film definitely fits the bill as silly fun. A lot of films based on old TV Series tends to just disappoint. But I think this one did a good job. It does a decent job at staying true to the series. And just plain fun to watch. While the cast all seemed to do a pretty good job... for me the stand-outs were Christopher Lloyd as Fester and Christina Ricci as Wednesday. Anyway... think it is worth checking out if you liked the series.

And now the evil villains of Townsville quake in fear as the girls soar through the air, battling even the most nefarious no-good-doers! Mojo Jojo, The Amoeba Boys, The Gangreen Gang, and even The Boogie Man are no match for sugar, spice, and everything nice!

A fun little series. Though I haven't finished watching the first season yet. Before that I had some best of releases and the movie, which I enjoyed.
My favorite Powerpuff Girl is Bubbles.
