The Addams Family (out Dec 5) is an animated feature that features the characters first made famous by cartoonist Charles Addams in 1938. Unfortunately, is a disappointing film that lacks a strong, compelling narrative. It has monsters doing/saying weird things and humans acting like huge jerks but when that’s all you’ve got for 87 minutes, the novelty quickly wears thin. Grade: C.
