I have never liked the Addams Family in any form. I hate the character of Gomez, so when he is a central character, I just can't hang with it. I also didn't care for its brand of camp. I'm a middle-aged man, so I'm not exactly in the middle of the target market. I like still like it. All the fawning over Jenna Ortega's acting is not hype. She is very, very good. The rest of the cast is not perfect, but no one outright sucks.

Perhaps my heretofore dislike of previous iterations cleaned the slate for me to enjoy this one. If you're coming to this to find another stab at something they've done before, rewatch your favorites. If you're open to something new, give this a shot.
