Great character and house design, but the plot is more of the same old same old, let’s all get along and nobody messes with my family. Wednesday’s storyline is pretty boring too. But overall not bad to spend time. I can never get enough of the Addams family.

Terrible animation, lazy character modules, weak story line, awful jokes, paper thin character development, and out of nowhere music choices. I'm honestly surprised Illumination didn't make this movie.

It tries hard to be faithful and is. However, it’s not laugh out loud funny or as lively as the 90’s films. The film might win you over towards the end though because that’s when it gets better. For some, that might be too late. While, despite great casting. Only Oscar Isaac and Chloe Moretz really nail their characters. Otherwise the voice acting can be flat. This is pretty much the Hotel Transylvania version of the Addams Family.

Hotel Transylva…err The Addams Family is a derivative and uninspired family comedy. After being driven from their home by an angry mob Gomez and Morticia Addams make a new home in an abandoned asylum, but when a realtor builds a planned community next door the Addams are once again threatened by an angry mob. Featuring the voice talents of Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Finn Wolfhard, the film has a pretty solid cast. The…

The animation is fine. The basic story line is all right. It's just not funny.

I feel the needs to write about this asap not because it was particularly good. It's just that it's inanely average, has a moral lesson it preaches with the bluntness of a hammer and I'm likely to forget it if I don't jot it down right now. 5/10
