Addams Family Values is my favorite 1993 film, and yes, that means I like it more than I like Jurassic Park.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wickedly funny family comedy that finds humor in the grotesque and the domestic, where gothic eccentricity meets satire of suburban normalcy. Wednesday and Pugsley steal the show with their deadpan machinations and surprising emotional depths.

Reviews
It is unhinged for a summer camp to do a Thanksgiving play.
Even though Addams Family and Addams Family Values both get five stars, Values is my favorite. I love everything at summer camp. Wednesday's smile after the last round in the Harmony Hut is iconic. The baby is so cute, and so is tiny David Krumholtz. Joan Cusack is the perfect addition as the villain. What a great double feature.
