Back in the 64th, this family began its carefree dark life. More than thirty gloomy years have passed since that time. And they are alive and young. And all the same funny and so surprisingly inhuman. And it suits them!

It was with this film that my acquaintance with this family began. A family of funny eccentrics for some, and unbalanced maniacs for others. And it is important to understand whether you find humor funny, because their specific humor and lifestyle is a milestone, having mastered which, it will reveal to you the true values ​​of the Adams family and plunge you into the true atmosphere of their world, which is no longer so dark and sadistic.

What has always fascinated me the most about this film is their attitude to life. Being the most obvious, the most obvious and the simplest evil, they have always remained good-natured. Their views on the meaning of life have always ranged from positive and logical to oppositely absurd. They can easily donate fifty thousand dollars for free, they are not alien to love. And with the same success they separate the flowers of roses from the stem, sleep in coffins under the mournful cries of ghosts, eat what a normal person would refuse to eat, arrange holidays in the cemetery and keep the mansion in primeval chaos: cobwebs, dust, etc. But most importantly, they value loyalty and fairness. And if you were kind to them, they will treat you kindly. In their own way, of course, but from the brightest motives.

But you can't build a movie on family relationships alone. And to introduce us to this amazing and unique family better, we need a plot. The return of a family member to their home. One of the most auspicious themes for such a film full of family warmth. And, by the way, it emphasizes the main theme.

And the soundtrack ... The soundtrack almost perfectly underlines all the irony of this family's life, gradually immersing us in their world. Music that laughs with its simplicity and uncomplicated nature, but at the same time bewitches with its insidiousness, which plays into the hands of this film very much.

In conclusion, I want to say that you will not find a more interesting, unique and ironic family. Sit back and enjoy the spectacle ...
