The ironic thing is if Debbie was just herself. She would have fit into the Adams family. 🤓
So true xx
She was herself. A lying deceptive homicidle maniac out to murder any one who gets in her way.
Other than her love of pastels, yes.
She would've finally found people who understood her and loved her for who she was....I think that's why they buried her in the cemetery with the Addams Family name.
@@3Rayfiretoo true.. and she was still married to an Addams. Lol
What's so funny about Debbie is she tries to murder Fester thinking she'll get all the money, not realizing murder is the Addams Family love language
Great observation
At the end of the day, she was a TRUE Addams
Poor Debbie. Doesn't even know what murder 101 is....probably also
Never seen a episode of murder she wrote....or took a electricity class. ⚡🤯⚡
exactly if she had just been herself she would have been a loved family member. Even trying to kill Fester is just a norm for everyone.@@Jaybo1213
I’d bet that “normal” stuff would be the things that kill them, like ordinary cookies might be toxic to them, or at least severely gross them out. That’s almost as good as death, right?
Debbie: "Don't I DESERVE love?! ....and jewelry?"
Morticia: *tearfully nodding in agreement*
Such a funny movie
Some people are saying this was Raúl Juliá’s final film, but it was his final film released while he was still alive. His actual last movie, released a few months after he passed away, was “Street Fighter,” where he played M. Bison in a scene-stealing role of a lifetime. Honestly, it’s not a great movie, but he elevates it to so-bad-it’s-good.
He was great in Street Fighter.
His over-the-top hamming up of the villain in that movie is some of the most glorious overplaying ever, and perfect for that movie. :)
And it raised the movie above its action b-movie schlock status.
@@teksnotdead902 Of course! It was Raúl.
"For you, the Day Bison graced your Village was the most important Day of your Life. But for me, it was Tuesday."
You call it a scene-stealing role of a lifetime, but for him, it was Tuesday
“I’ll be the victim!”
“All your life”
Very possibly my favourite movie line ever
“These Addams men. Where do you find them?!”
“It has to be damp.”
So many amazing lines.
That part at 15:33 that you said didn't age well was the exact intention at the time; every single "main" cast member chosen for the performance was a slim white blonde girl. All the kids chosen for the Native American roles were PoC, fat, nerdy or disabled. It's a commentary on what is considered "cosmetically pleasing" to white middle class Americans and how passive-aggressive they can be to kids who don't conform. It's the same towards Wednesday and Pugsley.
Yeah, that part wasn't even meant to age well for the era it was created in.
Oh yeah, it aged beautifully. They're meant to be horrible, racist, hypocrites.
we need to stop the mentality of comedy "not aging well", because then younger people need the idea of satire explained to them (like the previous comment provides). Ive watched reactions of Blazing Saddles where people are TERRIFIED until they realize whats really going on.
@@raymondjones2634it is possible for comedy to not age well when the intentions weren’t satirical
@@raymondjones2634that doesn't make sense. Satirizing something, and not satirizing something, are different things. Blazing Saddles aged really well, because it was a Black- and Jewish-written movie about the white supremacy of the Wild West myth, and this movie ages well because it's calling out the raceism/conformity/ableism of WASP culture.
An unironically racist movie (or scene) does not age well, because it's not satire.
"She is just surrounded by seamen" has to be my new favourite quote.
😂😂😂
“I like double entendre because then the people who get it enjoy it, and the people who don’t get it don’t know about it.”
- Betty White
... and she acted as though she didn't know what she was saying ... Oh, Ashleigh, you aren't fooling anybody.
I liked how she immediately jumped to "...and is that Monk?" straight after and it meant she made no reference to the Seaman again lol
That was the pun of the joke! 😂
15:32 - Amy Fisher - the Long Island Lolita. A girl who shot her lover's wife in the head. The lady survived and Amy went to prison. She was 17. Amy then after her release came on Oprah and other talk shows and then later became a pornographic actress, a reality star, began hanging out with her ex-lover and did all kinds of stupid attention seeking stuff. Don't know what she's doing nowadays but I would think Onlyfans was something she would be into. There were 3 tv movies made about her story, one starring Drew Barrymore and another one starring Alyssa Milano.
I remember that wasn't the guy name like Joey Buttafuoco
Joey Buttafuoco ovaah heeee - yes that's him.@@CheGuevara-uf4pm
@@CheGuevara-uf4pm that's it!
And then later after prison had a sex tape, became an adult actress and became a webcam model😎
Broken down very well.
I forget that young people wouldn’t know about that.
Movies can immortalize you.
Amanda's actress here, you might recognize her as the Girl Scout from the first movie. Apparently she did so well in that short role (and bounced off of Wednesday well enough), they offered her to play the role of Wednesday's rival here.
I can't confirm it, but I have heard that the girl in hospital waiting room was actually played by Amanda's little sister.
@@themonkeytrainer That would be hilarious lol.
The way you phrased that, I thought for a second that the actress was commenting!
She was played by Mercedes McNab who would later go on to play Harmony Kendal in Buffy and Angel
@@YouLousyKidsI was paddling along in the exact same boat as you 😂 took a second read for it to click haha
The cop was played by Nathan Lane. He and the camp lady, Christine Baranski, both were in the Birdcage. Christine was Val's birth mom. Love your reactions baby girl! I needed this laugh 😄
It's cool that later, Nathan Lane would go on to play Gomez on Broadway, I believe.
And Nathan Lane played Val's mom.
And of course Nathan lane was Gomez Addams in 'The Addams Family musical' in 2010 - check out the broadway version, not the Chicago version, they wrote a lot of new songs and made a lot of improvements to the cshow when it was moved to broadway. Don't know why they felt like they had to make changes for the tour version, still annoyed with them for cutting 'in the arms'
@@seattlecryptidHe DID with Bebe Neuwirth (Lilith on Cheers and Fraiser) as Morticia
@@1Cheytown ohmygod, I would LOVE to see Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia!
As someone who watched Addams Family Values in the theaters when it came out, I need to say that the scene where Gary and Becky cast the play was supposed to come off as racist - so it aged perfectly.
The scream at the poster of Michael Jackson was another pop culture reference - around the time the movie was being made/released, allegations had come out that Michael had SA'd a young boy.
I would disagree with you about your interpretation of the Michael Jackson poster. The first public accusations against MJ came out in August 1993, and the movie was released in November 1993 - given how long it takes to make movies, there's absolutely no way the timing of that works out. The poster beside the one of MJ himself is Heal the World, released in 1991 (which would fit the timing of when the movie was being made.) If you listen to the song/watch the video, it's an extremely schlocky 'love will fix the world' song, which fits in with the rest of the cutesy 'hang in there' cat poster type stuff the cabin is decorated with. Really, just go listen to the Heal the World song and you'll quickly see why such saccharin nonsense would be horrifying to Adams-type personalities.
@@SuperDrocket He's not a part of the Addam's Family. The accusations are irrelevent because people were already freaked out that MJ was having sleep overs with little boys at Neverland Ranch. The rumors were already there. Nobody took into account that he was 6 when he had an adult's career and never got to have that part of childhood. He also wanted to be a dad, so he started with babysitting.
@@xejelah Um, nobody said MJ was part of the Addam's family. I said that the song Heal the World is the sort of fake feel-good nonsense that would horrify anyone that would fit in with the Addams family, which is to say the people in that cabin, which is Wednesday, Pugsley and Joel. And no, people weren't 'freaked out' about MJ before the accusations started. He was considered rather weird, what with the rumors about sleeping in an oxygen tent and living with a chimp, but overall public opinion was pretty positive because he donated a LOT of time and money to good causes.
No, it’s because Michael jackson was seen as a positive icon at the time, it’s meant to be nice stuff they don’t like
Rumors of MJ's pedophilia were older than 1993 @@SuperDrocket
One of the best things about the Addams Family movies is that the antagonists would actually get along with the Addamses and be willing to help them with whatever financial problems they had if they had just the least bit of chill. The lawyer? He was friends with them for ages but he wanted to rip them off. A psychopath con artist? Surprised she's not a distant cousin. And Deb at the end when she's explaining all of her trauma, they completely understand and sympathize . All she had to do was chill and she would've been welcomed with open arms. She even could've kept trying to murder Fester as stress relief (dude puts arsenic on his Cheerios so good luck). But no, she had to choose...pastels.
Addams Family Values is LOADED with social and political satire. Especially Wednesday's monologue during the Thanksgiving play.
I will never forgive Raul Julia for leaving us way too early, there was so much more this series could have given us, but he was irreplaceable. And also a big shoutout to Christina Ricci, how the hell does a child of 12 years old give such a convincing, mesmerising performance, I haven't the words to sum up how good she was in this.
Ironically he was the one that they actually found a good replacement for in the third movie: Tim Curry. Turns out it was actually the rest of the cast that was basically irreplaceable. lol
@@scottmcintyre2809 Tim Curry can do almost anything. Clue is a must watch.
@@scottmcintyre2809 Tim was alright, but he just couldn't really bring the same energy to the role that Raul Julia could.
The female camp councilor was Christine Baranski, she played Leonard's mother on "The Big Bang Theory", maybe you saw her in "Mamma Mia". Joan Cusack is always brilliant, she steals every scene in "In and Out". She's in a lot of films with her brother John Cusack such as "Grosse Pointe Blank" and "High Fidelity".
The other Thanksgiving film was "Home for the Holidays" starring Holly Hunter ("Raising Arizona") from 1995. It's very funny, Robert Downey Jr. is in it. The movie I like at Thanksgiving is "The House of Yes" a black comedy that takes place on that day.
If you get around to seeing "The Sound of Music" you MUST watch the 1998 "Goodbye Lover" starring Patricia Arquette. You'll see why.
Joan is also in Shameless. her range is impressive as hell
Christine was also in the Birdcage she was Val’s birth mother
I have to admit I wouldn't mind me some Angelica Houston😮
To this day, I still associate Christine Baranski with “Bowfinger” (“I must get my parasol…”☂️)
Just, y’know, nudging hint-hint for any future Ash reactions.
Joan Cusack is also the principal Mullins in "School of Rock"
Judith Malina played Grandmama in the first film, and she was fine in the roll, but in this film they cast the incredible comic actor Carol Kane in the roll of Grandmama and she really shined IMO...that voice, that wickedly charming grin, even under all the makeup and costume, she really gave the part some life.
Of course, she did. She's Carol Kane. And don't you love the eyes?
I loved her as the aggressive fairy ghost in Scrooged.
@@sarablack2547 And as Valerie in The Princess Bride.
@@user-gl5dq2dg1j of course.i wasn't going to list everything she's done.
Even with make up on her voice gives her away.jumpin jack flash was prob the first thing I saw her in.
@@sarablack2547 I had forgotten she was in that!
Gomez's rant in the police station is the funniest bit in the whole movie.
I like the fact, that Addams family and Edward scissorhands did the same thing. The dark and odd family is actually such a great and humble family while the „pastels“ are strange and very disturbing.
I like this a lot
"He has my father's eyes." "Gomez, take those out of his mouth." *Best Addams Family line ever.*
Incidentally, the male counselor, Gary Granger, was played by Peter MacNicol, who made his debut in the 1981 fantasy film _Dragonslayer,_ which I highly recommend.
And played Dana's boss in Ghostbusters 2
And steals the show as Renfield in Dracula: Dead and Loving It
And he was in the first Mr. Bean movie as Bean's American handler. Actually managed to upstage Rowan Atkinson in at least one scene.
@@michaelrussell3890 Renfield, I dont care.
@@Mnemonix8001Renfield! You @$$hole!
Fun fact:
Pubert was supposed to be Gomez's name, as penned by the creator once the original series was in production and they needed to expand on the characters from the comic strips, but the name was rejected and the creator settled on Gomez.
Its not a huge deal, but its really nice that the writers snuck that little reference in there
Wednesday's little boyfriend was the Head Elf who helps Tim Allen get the hang of being Santa in The Santa Clause movies
The more you know!
He was also in 10 things I hate about you
He was Mr. Universe in Serenity.
The Addams Family characters didn't have names in the comic strip. When they made the TV show, Pubert was going to be Pugsley's name but the censors didn't think it was a good idea.
I think it looks like Raul Julia is trying not to crack up when he says the baby's name is Pubert.
And yes, that was Monk.
I rank this one slightly higher than the first simply because christina ricci really shows off what an amazing actor she is. She had great moments in the first, but really steals the show here. Plus there's a better villain, if only slightly.
Loved that transition from neutral/depressed to the smile, as she went through the confusion of how to smile, the pain of doing it, and then the maniacal wide eyes.... Loved it.
Debbie Jellinsky actually would have made a perfect addition to the Addams Family.
I love the thanksgiving play scene, so good.
Agree, if Debbie had just been honest she would have been perfect for them.
Joan Cusack is absolutely great! The entire cast is great!
This is one of my favorite movies ever. And thats all because of Joan Cusack as Debbie. Her backstory rant is permanently inscribed in my brain. I may not remember math but i can "MALIBU BAR. BIE." at the drop of a hat.
A great sequel and definitely THE BEST Thanksgiving play ever!!! It's just sad that Debbie couldn't see that she would fit in perfectly in the family.
Wednesday's crush, Joel, is played by David Krumholtz. He played Bernard the elf in the Santa Clause movies. He was also in 10 Things I Hate About You, and he starred in Numb3rs, plus a bunch of other things. This was one of his earliest roles.
I think this was his FIRST role, wasn't it?
Numb3rs also included Peter McNicol, the guy camp councillor, in its main cast.
David was also Mr Universe in _Serenity_
I can only see him as the guy who stabbed Lucy and Carter in ER
He's also Goldstein from Harold and Kumar
Joan Cusack needs an Oscar for being the OG scene stealer lol , 16 candles the neck brace girl , working girl the best bff and this film .
Yesss!! I just watched 16 candles the other day on PlutoTV and the way she lifts the ballerina's skirt on her shirt to wipe her mouth 🤣🤣 the awkwardness was so real
Has there ever been a movie where she was the top-billed lead? I can't think of one.
@@michaelanderson7288 My Blue Heaven? Maybe not top billed, but a lead for sure.
A couple of things: 1) the song you didn’t know was from the 1982 movie “Annie” (you should totally watch both that and “The Sound of Music”) and 2) the popular girl from camp, Amanda, was also the Girl Scout from the first movie.
The 1982 movie version of Annie was directed by John Huston, Angelica's father.
"It's a bomb." "WHAT!?" is my favorite joke in both movies. This was such a great sequel. So glad you enjoyed it.
"No, no, wait for my birthday" 🤣
"Are you scared of Michael Jackson?" When this movie came out, Jackson was in the news as he had been accused of child molestation.
I will never stop lamenting the fact that we never got a sequel: Addams Family Therapy
I think the best sequel would be them forced by some unscrupulous organization - perhaps an Evangelical Church, or Far-right presidential administration... of course, that Church and presidential administration turn out to be in on it together - to go under some evaluation, including psych evals, but also to determine just what in the hell they are... how they're able to survive such fatal incidents without any harm, and of course experimented on - especially Thing, Lurch, and Cousin Itt.
Sadly, it wouldn’t be possible. Raul Julia, Gomez, died a year later after this film came out from cancer. Of course, the child actors grew up too. There was a third Addams Family film, but I heard it was a 💣.
@@campagnollo in an alternate universe maybe
@@campagnollo Adams Family Reunion. It was a made for TV movie that was supposed to serve as a pilot for a new Adams Family TV series, but the only members of the movie casts that stuck around were Carel Struycken as Lurch and Christopher Hart as Thing, so it never really got much traction and when the show actually released (The New Adams Family in late 1998, which was actually surprisingly decent) the only member of that cast who stuck around was Nicole Fugere as Wednesday.
Not a complete waste though, at least it got us one incredible performance of Tim Curry as Gomez.
1993 really was a banner year for the cinema. _Addams Family Values,_ _The Beverly Hillbillies,_ Disney's rendition of _The Three Musketeers,_ _Last Action Hero,_ _Jurassic Park,_ the list goes on and on. _So_ much history was made at the cinema, that year.
So wild to think that Spielberg made JP and Schindler's List in the SAME year..
93 & 94 were both really good years. And TV was really good then, too.
Well, and a few minor movies like Schindler’s List, Tombstone, A Bronx Tale, The Fugitive, Groundhog Day, Mrs. Doubtfire, Carlito’s Way, Philadelphia, Rudy, True Romance. True, they were no Beverly Hillbillies but pretty good anyway.
Back in the '90s, Hollywood went on a kick of making movies based upon old TV shows. Most of them sucked, but there were two exceptions -- The Addams Family and The Brady Bunch. They both take the same approach to their material, placing highly stylized characters into a realistic world where they're out of place, it's just the Brady's are sunshine and flowers instead of darkness and daggers. If you like one series, you will like the other.
"I'm tripping with the Bradys!"
“This is a carjack!”
“This is a car, but my name’s not Jack.”
I hated the Brady Bunch series, but the movies are funny as hell.
Sure, Jan.
Jan wasn't entirely sunshine.
15:58 _"That's,_ um-" _"That's,_ um... He's the voice of Timon and I saw him in _The Birdcage._ I _can't_ remember his name."
😄 Nathan Lane. He also plays Pepper Saltzman, a really good supporting character on _Modern Family._ That's the main place _I_ know him from.
The song you didn’t recognize was from Annie - you should definitely add that to your list of movies to watch- it’s a classic for a reason 😊
Crazy to me that a redhead wouldn't know it ❤😂
The ORIGINAL with Carol Burnett as Ms Hannigan, not the crap remake with Cameron Diaz
Fun fact: The baby is actually played by twin girls.
I thought that. I used to get confused by the two babies as a kid. Need to rewatch!
"Camp lady" AKA Christine Baranski was also in The Birdcage actually, she was the long absent mother of Val and she's been in a ton of stuff on tv and in movies.
15:29 Amy Fisher made headlines in 1992 at the age of 17, when she shot the wife of her adult lover, in the head at close range. She was known as “The Long Island Lolita”. The wife was severely wounded but survived.
And, yes, they did make a run of murderer trading cards. I had a friend that collected them before they were quickly pulled from the shelves.
I had them. Not sure whether or not I still do. Several moves over the years. @@givaFlyingFiggz
This was everything to me growing up. I was the weird "goth" kid so I could definitely relate to Wednesday and how people react to her. Since I'm also Native, the Thanksgiving play scene made me love the movie and Wednesday a million times more lol.
This one is my favorite! I watched it with my kids recently. The 5yo did not appreciate the way they treated the baby but my 10yo loved it 😂
22:39 Exactly - she said if she wanted to kill her husband then she'd scare him to death. If she's trying to scare Joel then it could mean that she's planning on eventually marrying him. Or that she might just be testing him - remember Fester thought that the first few times Debbie tried to kill him she was showing affection
This was the last film of Raul Julias to be released before he passed from a stroke in 1994. It was touching how he was lying in bed singing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"
He started filming the movie Street Fighter. He died while in production.
RUclips thinks it's okay for YOU to mention actors' names, but when I mention them, my comment gets removed? This platform is messed up.
You forgot about Street Fighter.
@@SteamyNanners I said " the last film to be released before he passed away".You have to read beyond the first word in the sentence.
@@NightRanger-lz6tp That was his last one filmed, not released. This was his swan song.
the female camp consoler was also in bird cadge, mama mia, Lenard's mom in the big bang theory, and the live action grinch she was his love interest
Looks like the next line of requests with which Ashleigh needs to be bombarded with is "Sound of Music" and "Annie." :D
Funny thing about the Addams' is they like the villains because well, they're villains. It's only when they start messing with the family that they gotta go.
The head kid at camp, Amanda - the one they appeared to be planned to burn at the stake during the revised play - was played by Mercedes McNab (who also appears as a Girl Scout selling cookies in the first one). She later went on to play Harmony, Spike's off and on girlfriend in both Buffy and Angel.
Scent of a Woman is also set during Thanksgiving and is worth a look. I loved the film and you can't go wrong with Pacino.
Another fun fact...the first "nanny" canidate (the hippy one) is played by Cynthia Nixon (best known as Miranda on Sex And The City) and YES one of the sailors in the bar IS Tony Schalub (Monk). And Becky was played by Christine Baranski (alsp in The Birdcage)
Debbie is one of my all time favorite camp movie villains!! She is just absolutely incredible in this movie! "I was a ballerina. Graceful! Delicate! They had to go" 😂
Joan Cusack is PERFECT as Debbie. The whole cast is mesmerizing. Pete McNicol, Christine Baranski, Nathan Lane... this movie is a masterpiece.
OMG! I rolled over with laughter when "Who's Amy Fisher" came out your mouth! Bravo to you being the only person in the USA not to know the torrid story of Amy. Love all your reactions! I too love the Addams family.
I remember when I was younger I would hear her name here and there but I had no idea who she was or what she did. I finally looked her up. What a crazy story. But that shooting happened like 30 years ago and it's not really talked about a lot now so I'm not really shocked she doesn't know about it.
I am surprised. I thought everyone talked about the Long Island Lolita! And the casting of the Thanksgiving play aged perfectly as it was commentary on WASP perceptions.
I consider the main character of this film to be Wednesday, actually. Sure, she has the B-side plot, but her scenes are the funniest and she has the real arc of being in a terrible place and overcoming it, all whilst finding love on the way. Fester is just...well, he's just an idiot, really. He doesn't learn anything, or even really do anything. Fester's arc is the worst thing about this movie IMO, the real gold is in the summer camp.
My favourite part is when Wednesday claws at the wire fence behind her when the others start singing kumbaya at her.
Did anyone else have a quiet chuckle when Ashleigh announced "She's just surrounded by seamen?"
Well after your reaction to "The Fugitive" earlier this week, a lot of people suggsted that you watch "Men in Black" (starring Tommy Lee Jones, who of course is also in The Fugitive), and I agree, you should! That being said, Men in Black (and its 2 sequels) is acutally directed by the same guy who directed The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values. His name is Barry Sonnefeld. Get Shorty is another movie he directed that I think you'd enjoy!
Get Short is great, and entirely underrated. The MIB sequels, not so much...
MIB2 was okay, MIB3 quite forgettable(although Brolin nailed his role). and that something that came after that, kill it with fire and brimstone.
I would add "U.S. Marschals" to that list of "sequels", as I think this came out after "The Fugitive". Men in Black 1 & 2 definately, the 3 wasn't bad, and as someone pointed out, there was something that came out after, but I can't remember it.
+1 for Get Shorty
Fun fact: Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of the movie, played Joel's (Wednesday's love interest) father in the movie.
Raul Julia was always one of my favorite actors in the 80 & 90s. R.I.P. My 3 favorite Raul Julia movies are 1.)"Presumed Innocent"(1990) My favorite Courtroom movie. Harrison Ford & Raul Julia! They are amazing together as a Lawyer defending another Lawyer. 2.)"Tequila Sunrise"(1988) Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell, Michelle Pfeiffer, Raul Julia! That is one hell of a cast! 3.)"Kiss of the Spider Woman"(1985). William Hurt & Raul Julia. Amazing movie! William Hurt deserved the Oscar for Best Actor!
Moon over Pardor Richard Dreyfuss and Raul Julia 1988
Great reaction Ashleigh. One of the best Thanksgiving movies ever made. This is my favorite Joan Cusack role. She really hammed it up. It was perfect. And Christina Ricci's first kiss was just too adorable.
This now gives you 2 TV shows to check out. The Addams Family from the 1960s, (which has my favorite Morticia and Gomez), and Wednesday, with the perfectly cast Jenna Ortega. You will love both.
A change of pace recommendation for the new year, starring one of your future ex husbands is Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Without spoiling it for you, it has two conmen competing with each other, and it's lots of fun.
Oh yeah, I bet she'd love Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Ruprect!
Writer Melissa Hunter created a RUclips series called “Adult Wednesday Addams” that she had to give up because of legal action, but the series is still up on RUclips and is hilarious.
Yes, that was BRILLIANT.
PLEASE do Now and Then with Christina Ricci! One of my all time favorite movies and no one has reacted to it! 😢❤ It’s like a girl version of Stand by Me
I agree!! Devon Sawa getting to miss Christina again. Fingers crossed he shows up on Yellow Jackets as a love interest.
I enjoy your reactions so much! You always get all the jokes (this is important since I older and the jokes are missed by other reactors) and you always buy into the whole plot. If Fluffy has to swim the English Channel to save the day, you are right there cheering Fluffy on. You never say, "That was stupid". You make watching the reactions fun! :) (The second song in the cabin was "Tomorrow", the theme song from "Annie" (Little Orphan Annie), a totally feel-good kid's movie). Amy Fisher (in the trading cards) shot her lover's wife in the head, but the wife survived. It was very scandalous and juicy, and all over the tabloids. Amy was nicknamed "The Long Island Lolita". After getting out of jail, she became a porn star. And you need to see The Sound of Music. It is a classic and based on a true story, and starring Julie Andrews.
MALIBU BAR…BIE!!!
Joan Cusack’s best line ever! 😂
Camp counselor was played by Christine Baranski, who is fabulous in absolutely everything she does...theatre, film, and tv.
Ashleigh, you saw her in The Birdcage...Val's birth mother.
Was also Leonard's mom in Big Bang Theory, if you ever watched that.
Gomez and Morticia are couple goals
So true!
I'm glad you loved both Addams Family movies. Next Thanksgiving, please consider Dutch, starring Ed O'Neil (Al Bundy). I don't know why it doesn't get more love & attention.
OMG Yes!!! Loved Dutch.
What do you like to do for fun?
Wiggle and crunch?
Ya me too 😂😂😂
Christina Ricci smiling alone is just... *chef's kiss*
Like, the humor is rapid, the plot is somewhat of a repeat, but more fun and zany.
Both together are legendary.
In the '60s we watched The Addams Family weekly. And before that it was a comic strip by Charles Addams.
Up next "Wednesday".
Son in law with Pauly shore is technically a thanksgiving movie
🎉🎉🎉
But that means Ashleigh would have to watch a Pauly Shore movie.
@@davidrobinson4400 yeah buuuudiieeee maybe Encino man after
@@ricchoder2983 Should get Ashleigh to watch George of the Jungle. Could her ovaries handle a buff Brendan Fraser? 😀
:Home for the Holidays" is a great Thanksgiving movie. Directed by Jodie Foster and starring Holly Hunter, Anne Bancroft, Robert Downey Jr. and many other stars. Maybe next year.
Saw this in the theater. After the first time Pugsley yells "Eat me!", I laughed to tears!
I think that the reason the movies focus on Fester is that everyone else in the family have fairly defined roles from the original comics and TV series. The comics were single panels/single jokes and while they are good would not translate to a full movie. You should watch the TV series as it does capture a lot of the humor from the comics and fleshes out the characters quite well.
The songs playing in the cabin are from The Sound of Music (1965) and Annie (1982).
I've always believed that if Raul Julia had lived we would have gotten a third Addams Family movie to cap off a trilogy
I love this movie so much, even just the camp part is worth the whole movie.
But someone mentioned, and I can't get it out of my head, why are they doing a Thanksgiving play at summer camp?
"Wow, she is just surrounded by seamen." Sure would be a shame if someone took that out of context.
My take on "why are they doing a Thanksgiving play at summer camp?" is that it is a TERRIBLE play, so the only place that they CAN do it is at a summer camp (with captive actors AND audience) that Gary partially owns.
They did a Thanksgiving play at summer camp, because what's more white privilege and racist than portraying inaccurate representations of colonization
It is a worthy sequel. Both are amazing in their own ways. The only reason why I like the first one better is that it showed a lot more of the spooky atmosphere. The lovely ballroom and the underground catacombs. If you put that comparison aside both movies are equal and still stand firm today.
It's such a shame they never got to make it a trilogy. I would loved to have seen more of this cast. RIP Raul Julia 💜
Angelica Huston nailed the role of Morticia, however, my heart belongs to the original Morticia of my childhood, Carolyn Jones.
Joan Cusak is amazing in everything she's been in. The male camp councilor was Leslie Nielson's assistant, Renfield, in Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
As always your reaction video was a hoot(old person talk for really fun). Your laughter and your occasional naughty side job are hilarious. Watching you is just what I needed after awakening from my food coma. Thank you so very much.😂😂
Hopefully you'll give the show Wednesday on Netflix a go. It's actually really good and Christina Ricci (played Wednesday in these movies) does have a significant role. Jenna Ortega does do a wonderful job or portraying Wednesday and the first 4 episodes are directed by Tim Burton.
Ashleigh has confirmed on The Addams Family reaction that she has watched Wednesday on Netflix and really liked it.
I really need to start looking into actors, i had no idea the OG wednesday was in the netflix series as another character!
There's actually a lot of Thanksgiving movies I can recommend, "Home for the Holidays", "Son in Law", "Pieces of April", "You've Got Mail" these are some of my favorites 😊
Love Pieces of April! That's a great recommendation
House of Yes
One of my FAVORITE exchanges when they gather around the baby:
Gomez: "He has my father's eyes...".
Morticia: "Gomez!! Take those out of his MOUTH!!!".
(Kinda paraphrasing here)😊😊😊
That last song in the harmony hunt was Tomorrow by the play to movie adaptation of Annie. You should react to that next.
Also, the blonde girl was in the first Addams movie as the girl scout. She was also in Buffy The Vampire Slayer series as Harmony the vampire.😂❤
Ashleigh, there's another Thanksgiving movie. It's called Alice's Restaurant. You may have heard of the song Alice's Restaurant, well there's also a movie. But then if you've heard the song, you already know the whole story. Anyway, people from the song actually got to play in the movie, so it's fun to watch for that too.
The twin babies that played Pubert Addams were girls, Ashleigh. Kaitlyn and Kristen Hooper. They were also in one episode of Home Improvement as Tim's twin nieces.
Oh, I am SO excited for this: an amazing sequel and we get to watch Ashleigh's hair dry!!! Christina Ricci's Wednesday is really next-level top tier, and Joan Cusack's Debbie really should have fit into the family had she just embraced them for who they were. But this sequel is just... outstanding! And the fact Wednesday's Thanksgiving speech is STILL relevant in 2023 is... unthinkable! And the whole "They had sex" is brilliant. This is just... an outstanding film that if you you did not watch the first film you could still follow it without confusion!!
I forgot that was John Cusack's sister in this! They've been in several movies together. Love both of them!
I like to imagine there's an alternate universe where Deb became an Addams. I hope alt-u Deb and Fester are very happy together with their 2.5 children.
That Thanksgiving play scene was ahead of its time. What a classic.
Very happy to see your reaction to this and even more delighted to see how much you loved it. I saw the first movie in the theater on my 12th birthday, by the time this one came around I was 14 and remember all the references in articles and the trailers but didn't actually see it until a few years later. It took a while but this movie grew on me and I adore it now, especially as an adult who gets all the jokes. I now realize there are people who have never heard of Amy Fisher or all the crap that surrounded Michael Jackson in the mid 90s. I was surprised you didn't recognize the big song from Annie since I know you're a theater geek and I thought every school and theater company in the universe did Annie at some point. You should experience Annie sometime, especially the movie with Tim Curry and Carol Burnette.
I do like the first one better, but it's a VERY small amount of "better" than the second one lol. They're both amazing and very rewatchable :) I wish they did more with these actors tbh. I def share your love of Morticia. And their marriage is goals fr.
So glad you watched these!
Raul Julia passed away shortly after this movie was released, so they couldn't make more with the same cast
Even though the movie takes place during the Summer, it was released during Thanksgiving week on 1993, and there is a play about the First Thanksgiving within the movie.
Take all that and the family oriented themes of the franchise as a whole, and The Addams Family Values becomes a great Thanksgiving movie the entire family can enjoy every year.
“That’s an American bald eagle! Aren’t they extinct? They are now” is one of my favourite lines in this movie.
Another Thanksgiving movie for you to consider is Pieces of April. It's not as well known, but I know I enjoy it, and would hope others also agree that it deserves a watch. Hard to think of remaining Thanksgiving movies that aren't Hallmark movies or something like Free Birds.
Also, as with every video of yours, I recommend the movie Imagine Me & You, as well as Zsazsa Zaturnnah.
I agree with Pieces of April and I do think Ashleigh would enjoy it. It's a very touching, very funny, very real movie. Been on my annual holiday watch list for years.
Nathan Lane, a four-time Tony winner, for _A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum_ (1996 Revival), _The Producers_ (2001), _Angels in America: Perestroika_ (2018), _Angels in America: Millennium Approaches_ (2018). He is also featured in Steve Martin and Martin Short's wonderful mystery/comedy _Only Murders in the Building,_ and currently in _The Gilded Age._
The summer camp lady was played by Christine Baranski, whom you likely know from _The Good Wife_ and _The Good Fight_ and currently _The Gilded Age._
Debbie was played by the wonderful Joan Cusack, who is in a film you would love, and which has often been suggested in comments, _Working Girl_ (1988); Melanie Griffith, Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Sigourney Weaver, Joan Cusack, Olympia Dukakis, and some of the best 80s hair ever put on screen.
Lane also played Gomez in the Addams Family musical on Broadway.
Ooooh, I had no idea they did a revival for "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum!" I'll probably still prefer the OG, but the remake of "The Producers" was pretty good.
@@KnightsaysNiThere have been two Broadway revivals of _Forum;_ the first was in 1972 with Phil Silvers playing Pseudolas (he played Marcus Lycus in the 1966 film adaptation).
Broadway trivia - four actors have won the Tony for playing Pseudolas: Zero Mostel in the original production (1962); Phil Silvers for the 1972 revival; Nathan Lane for the 1996 revivial; and (surprise!) Jason Alexander for _Jerome Robbins Broadway_ (1989) in which he played Pseudolas in the _Forum_ section.
As to _The Producers,_ while the musical on Broadway was a huge hit, winning twelve Tony awards (in every category for which it was nominated), the film adaptation of the Broadway musical is a very sad affair. Hollywood no longer has directors who know how to direct a musical nor producers who know how to make a good one. The received wisdom seems to be that if you throw enough money at it it will turn out, but a big budget does not guarantee a good outcome, neither on film nor on stage.
In the old TV series, it was a running gag for Fester to get a shock and have a lit lightbulb in his mouth.
"death december" killed me because it was attached to this movie. you really could be an addams
The Adams Family would probably be the only family to enjoy playing a with Jigsaw and Pinhead. 😂
Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino and a young Philip Seymour Hoffman is also a Thanksgiving movie that not a lot of people have reacted to.
I spit my coffee at, "...Jingle Beans or Death December...".
Whenever I'm having a crappy day i stick on one of these Addams Family films because i know within 10 mins I'll be laughing.
These are my all time favourite movies.
