The services of a nanny are clearly required, and the family hires Debbie Jelinsky (Joan Cusack), who arrives in a low-cut uniform, and takes charge. The pre-existing Addams children, Wednesday and Pugsley, are insanely jealous, and even try to arrange the baby's decapitation on the guillotine that is conveniently in the basement.

'Take them out of the baby's mouth!' Morticia exclaims.

'He has my father's eyes,' Gomez murmurs. The little newcomer, named Pubert, sure does take after his dad. 'Right now.' In an inevitable twist on the usual movie childbirth scene, she's in agony in the delivery room - and loving every minute of it. 'I'm going to have a baby,' Morticia (Anjelica Huston) tells Gomez (Raul Julia). 'Addams Family Values' involves not one but three subplots, all of them funny and one of them (about the birth of a new baby boy) the source of one great sight gag after another. Maybe I liked it more than the original because I was in a different mood? Perhaps, knowing I was going to see twee little MacAulay Culkin in 'The Nutcracker' right after seeing this film, I was in the mood for macabre bad taste? Or perhaps the screenplay, by Paul Rudnick, contains more invention than the 1991 effort. Nothing much seems to have changed the stars are about the same, the director is still Barry Sonnenfeld, the Addams mansion still towers above a blasted heath, next to a graveyard.

It's the rare sequel that is better than its original, and yet 'Addams Family Values' qualifies. But the good news is, this time I found the joke funnier than in the original 'The Addams Family' (1991). They live in a onejoke universe, arrived at by embracing the mirror images of all respectable values. 'Isn't he a lady killer!' the sexy young nanny says when she first meets Fester, the long-lost brother in the Addams Family.Īnd we are back again in the upside-down world of the Addamses, who find solace in sadism, cheer in gloom, pride in boasting that their little son has been given probation.
