Description

Love is in the air. And when that air surrounds the Addams Family, events unfold in delightfully unexpected ways. Take Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston): passionate, devoted, demented and thrilled by their new arrival, baby Pubert, flashing that sweet smile, that familiar pallor, that cute little moustache. The love bug has bitten Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd), an innocent if ever there was one, who has developed his own yearning for Debbie Jellinsky (Joan Cusack), the new nanny with her own ideas about Fester's future, none of which involve his longevity. Even young Wednesday (Christina Ricci) has met a kindred spirit in the most unlikely of locations - summer camp.
