Normally I would not be much interested in another reboot of the Addams Family (1964).

BUT got intrigued when I first saw the dance scene.

It’s a tribute to the original Wednesday dance.

This is a Tim Burton project. Therefore skillfully done.

Sounds like Burton is a long time Addams Family fan.

A coming-of-age supernatural comedy horror. There are parallels with Harry Potter and some of the superhero schools.

Students are  “outcasts“. The rest of the town’s citizens “normies“,

All good — but I’d say the casting is the highlight for me.

Of course, Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, carries this show. I can’t see how anyone else could do it better.

The creative team met with her first via Zoom, concluding “nobody else on this planet” was better suited to the role.

The entire cast is good.

A good call ➙ Christina Ricci as Marilyn Thornhill / Laurel Gates. Ricci played played Wednesday Addams in the film The Addams Family and its sequel Addams Family Values (1993).
