The Addams Family (1991) watch online

The Addams Family is a 1991 American supernatural black comedy film based on the comic strip characters created by Charles Addams. Directed by former cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld in his feature directorial debut, the film stars Anjelica Huston, who was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Comedy or Musical for her performance as Morticia Addams, Raul Julia as Gomez Addams, and Christopher Lloyd as Fester Addams. The film focuses on a bizarre, macabre, aristocratic family who reconnect with someone whom they believe to be a long-lost relative, Gomez's brother Fester Addams.

The film was noted for its turbulent production. Originally developed at Orion Pictures, the film went $5 million over budget due to constant rewrites throughout shooting; health problems of people involved in the filming; and an overall stressful filming for Sonnenfeld himself, which caused multiple delays. The rise in production costs from the film's $25 million budget to $30 million led Orion, financially struggling and fearful of another big-budget flop, to sell the film to Paramount Pictures, who completed the film and handled the film's domestic distribution. Orion Pictures International distributed the film internationally through Columbia Tri-Star Films. The film was commercially successful, making back almost seven times its production costs. A sequel, Addams Family Values, was released in 1993.
