Christina Ricci owns Wednesday.
The scene in Addams Family Values where she's forced to smile would have done that all by itself, but there was so much more.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'd love to see Bebe Neuwirth playing Morticia. Has that been on Broadway or was that just in my head?

That sounds so right and familiar that it might have been something someone said here, but it might have been Broadway too.

That's the Addams Family musical that opened in Chicago, and is going to be opening on Broadway sometime this spring. I really, really want to see it.

All the happy campers taking that involuntary step backwards in reaction is one of my all-time favorite film moments.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I confess I don't think I've ever laughed as much at the start of a movie as at "Darling, wonderful news! We're going to have a baby. ...Right now."

There really is so much win in AFV. Joan Cusack has one of the all-time greatest movie monologues in it.
