I expected this movie to awake some sort of nostalgia in me, but the truth is that it doesn't hold a candle to the classic Addams Family movies. The addition of childish and annoying characters (such as Enid) makes the series feel more like a kids show than anything else. While Jenna Ortega does a decent job at playing Wednesday, the writing leaves a lot to be desired. The first episode is alright and does a good job at capturing the feel of classic Addams Family movies, but things quickly go downhill from there. Instead of being the creepy little girl that we all know, Wednesday comes across as this impudent teenager who pouts all the time and tries her best not to show any emotion. While the original Wednesday was dark, mysterious and downright spooky, this new one is just an anti-social adolescent who wears too much black.
