That's the tragedy of Debbie, she finally found a place she would've been truly accepted and had unlimited money and she destroyed it because the Addams genuinely love each other, and she is only capable of loving herself.
She was almost perfect for the family because they would love her, the issue we see is that she doesnt love back, which is what family is all about, she has the same psychotic tendencies, macabre humor and doesnt judge people but wouldnt give love back unlike Margaret
How did you hear those lines? Well, you probably know the movie. I've never seen it. I'm gonna have to look it up and watch it now. A lot of the lines that seemed funny, I couldn't hear. Don't get me wrong, she's hilarious. I just wish she had paused sometimes.
@@luhaleyry321 I wasn't complaining. I like watching reactions to movies. Even if I haven't seen the movie. Not sure how you took my comment as me complaining. I read it back and I wasn't complaining about spoilers or anything. I was just saying I wish I could hear the lines sometimes. But it's really not that deep. And I obviously know that I can't watch the whole movie through a reaction video. Lmfaoooo
Indeed one of the best sequels ever. Cristina Ricci and Raul julia fit the molds of the characters so well, that The Addams Family can never really be remade. It's so awesome.
I actually just watched this a couple nights ago. I still believe the relationship between Morticia and Gomez Addams is something everyone should strive for.
Alanda Parker There was a script written for a third movie, but sadly the passing of the great Raul Julia prevented that from being produced, I'm extremely curious about what the story would have been.
Angelica is so stunning, I can't help but adore her. She also plays the head witch in The Witches and the stepmother in Ever After: A Cinderella Story, two other roles she plays fantastically.
I saw Wednesday's slow walk, then lighting the match, snaking her neck, and smiling as all the Morticia that she's going to be when she grows up coming out. That was her mother in her right there. Let us NEVER forget the Addams' Family Motto: _"Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc"_ *"We Gladly Feast on Those Who Would Subdue Us."*
I could watch that play on repeat. Wednesday's retaliation is the best. And that "give me a kiss, give me a twenty" line still makes me laugh too this day. 😂
Being Native American and the weird "goth" girl in school, this movie was everything to me lol. Wednesday is such a mood. 🖤 Happy Thanksgiving, Alanda! 🦃🥧🍁🍂🙏
Cool! I'm an afro goth and I love The Addams Family in all the properties, I haven't seen the most recent animated movies but I plan on seeing them some time in the future. I wish to meet a man that will be my Gomez!
@@rainyfristoe7682 That's awesome! Yeah I haven't seen the newest ones yet but I probably will around Halloween time. Wishing you luck with finding your Gomez. 🖤
As good as the first one is, this is the rare moment when the sequel is better. I love how Joan stands out from being her best and not just John Cusacks sister. Raul Julia. That man was amazing in everything he was in. The cast was on point. Ooh and Caroline Kane was Gramama in the movie. Love your reactions
Christina Ricci is perfection as Wednesday. Her speech where she "ruins the play" is classic comedy and brilliant. Love your commentary throughout was hilarious as always. Look forward to the next!!
I love this movie! One of the best sequels ever!. The whole cast is on top form, but the standouts were Cristina Ricci and Joan Cusack. This movie is fantastic!
This movie is truly magical. So funny, so smart, so ahead of its time. And how rare to have a movie with 3 AMAZING queens like Anjelica, Christina and Joan???
9:06 I screamed when you said Harmony!! Youre the first reactor i've seen that recognised her in this as Harmony from Buffy 😆 truly this movie is such a good time and gets even better with age as most of us watched it when we were too young to get it 😅
_"White America _*_Clockwork Orange_*_ You to death."_ A description that is sublime in its simplicity and evocative perfection. It's like you're speaking Tamarian. Perfection.
I love how even when getting shot at, Fester held onto the loaf he made. Either that or he knew not to throw away that silver platter, that's real Sterling.
Fun fact Nathan Lane played Gomez Addams in the Addams family the musical on Broadway. also the character of Debbie (played so perfectly by Joan Cusack)would have made the perfect addition to the Addams family if she wasn't so greedy.
RIP Gomez, your swag is timeless! And it's such a harsh realization that the Adams family had a healthier environment of inclusion and support than most of us! Maybe a little unorthodox, or cut from a different cloth, (likely black lace!-) but you can deny, if some fool messes with 1 Adams... THEY ALL are coming to your front porch! And you don't want this smoke...cause it's more like black clouds circling your house! Another standing Ovation for your hilarious video, I am in this rabbit hole!
This was unexpected, but most welcome. I agree with everyone that Addams Family Values is one of the best sequels ever produced. I love everything about this movie.
Just when you think they can't cast more perfectly for these films, here's Joan Cusack. And that play, yeah go Wednesday BUT -- Pugsley was having the time of his life up there, he may have found his calling! 😄🦃 I think nostalgic rewatches sounds great! It's fun to watch something again and remember what we've liked about it. 9:07 I have a feeling you'd get a kick out of the character she plays in _Hatchet._ It's old school slasher (and gory!), and I really enjoyed everyone's performance in it.
fun fact: pubert was actually a girl they disguised as a boy. they tend to do that quite often in movies when the baby is a newborn or soon after because its hard to tell in most cases Also Anjelica Huston said filming in that dress was so uncomfortable, that when filming was done, she burned the dress.
They actually use girls more because they are better behaved than boys. And yes, Angelica burnt the entire costume. But there was so much more that went to Morticia's look than the dress. She had to wear a metal corset, she had to have her eyes taped back that gave her super bad headaches and caused skin abrasion, they also shined a light into her eyes for all her scenes. She was definitely dedicated to being Morticia that's for sure
I love both these movies, but this one is my favorite lol a coworker last Halloween told me that as a kid he was scared of these movies and I went "really?! I loved them! wednesday and morticia are some of those life defining characters for me" and he just looked me dead in the face and went "...yeah that checks out" then we both started laughing hysterically LMAOOOO
It’s even funnier to watch this movie now and listen to Joan Cusack do her lines when you think that she’s the voice of Jessie the cowgirl from toy story and it’s her being this evil woman the whole time
I forgot Nathan Lane was in this movie! He's the cop who booked them omg. You should totally watch The Birdcage with him in it if you've never seen it. He manages to steal scenes away from the legendary Robin Williams (rip)!
At the end of the day if all Debby wanted was to be loved and accepted, they might’ve looked past her being a greedy golddigger and actually took her in
I’m so happy you enjoyed this movie. This has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. There’s humor for kids and for the adults. Being a little gay boy seeing this movie, I was *obsessed* with how darkly glamorous Morticia was. I would beg my mom to buy me long black wigs during Halloween. It opened my young interest to the goth subculture. 🖤🖤 It also would eventually be a huge inspiration in my style of drag that came a little over a decade later. ❤️ Love ya, girl. I hope you and everyone have a wonderful holiday 🙏🏻
The design elements in this film are unbelievable! I loved them as a kid, but looking at them now Im honestly gagged! Perfection! And inspiring the youth to greatness: 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍😍😍 Happy Thanksgiving, Babe!!! Be well!!
Lol such a classic. Also shout out to Christopher Hart who played Thing. Homie's performance is amazing! All of those expressions and communication portrayed through hand gestures and movements. Homie has arthritis in his hand because of this role.
Yay! I *know* that it‘s gonna be a *great* day when my *favorite* RUclips movie reactor watches one of my *all-time-favorite* films! Regardless of whether or not you’ve already seen it! Obviously, “first time watching” reactions are the *best,* and I’m chomping at the bit for your _”The Cabin In The Woods”_ and _”I Still Know What You Did Last Summer”_ reactions, but you’re just _soooo_ much damn fun that I’d watch one of your favorite movies with you *ANY* day of the week! Thanks for the awesome content, per usual, Alanda! You’re the best!! EDIT: Addams Family Values _easily_ could’ve been included in the _”Scream 2”_ film class discussion about sequels that surpassed their original counterparts! (Well, _maybe,_ as _both_ films are hilarious and wonderful fun!)
Lol 😂 I think Pugsley was about to put the paws on the girl when she said "they are like circus people" he got up like now that's where I draw the line😂😂
I love, love, love your reactions. Your laughter is so genuine, and so contagious. Your attitude when reacting to the characters and/or the actors' portrayal is so wonderful. Keep it up! You're a pleasure to watch. The actress who played "Amanda Buckman" did go on to appear in the Buffy TV show, but she was also the girl scout cookie seller in the first Addams Family. From what I've heard, there is some debate whether that was simply clever re-casting, or whether they intended for it to actually be the same character. You'd think that, having met Wednesday and Pugley once before, she would remember. As Joel says: "I'll never forget you... You're too weird." If Amanda had previously tried to sell cookies to a weird little girl who asked if they're "made from real girl scouts," then later meets the same girl at camp, you'd think she'd mention, "You're that creepy girl with the lemonade stand!" But she doesn't. So, whether she was supposed to be the same girl or not, it was a fun casting call-back. I wonder how the young actresses Christina Ricci and Mercedes McNab got along, when the cameras weren't rolling.
Thank you so much 😊💛!!! It’s funny because I’ve seen the Addams Family but I barely remember that one because I didn’t revisit it as regularly as I did Addams Family Values as a kid. I think I even saw Family Values first and later watched the first one. I need to rewatch Addams Family because I did not remember that Mercedes McNab is in that one too!
@@AlandaParker Me too!! I've seen the 2nd movie and then the 1st and I rewatched the 2nd way more often because it's the one I like the most!!😃Same with"Home Alone 2"and"Home Alone".😁
Alanda, I have been watching your videos for about a month and I look forward to feeling like I have a girl’s night weekly ❤️ You are an absolute joy and I laugh so much at your commentary.
The Addams Family, Addams Family Values and Casper are the three movies that made me love Christina Ricci. While The Addams Family and Addams Family Values are what made me love the character of Wednesday Addams.
@@gabrielledarwin9375 Honestly the name "Now and Then" doesn't ring a bell for me, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for it, so I can experience more Christina Ricci
Yep. Her acting game was top tier on day one, that deadpan delivery stands at the top. And I mean look at her. (caveat, she's two years older than me ). I also adored her in Sleepy Hollow.
Alanda Parker, you're my favorite! This review was just what I needed. I remember seeing this multiple times and somehow you had me laughing harder than any time before. "You've become Mr. Debbie!" I can't. Happy Thanksgiving bae.
My favorite small parts in this movie are Nathan Lane as that cop who is having none of Gomez's theatrics today, or Peter Graves as the newscaster doing the report on Debbie. He was an archetypal B-movie star back in the 1950s, and then he was the host of _Biography_ for a good time in the 90s, so thus cameo was basically him mushing those two things together.
Classic RIP to Raul Julia I was 11 when I saw this in theaters. Alot of ppl feel Christina Ricci should've took of the role of Mortica due a photo of her as her for Halloween. Good times watched this movie at least 100 times
One of my favorite movies ever. Christina was my first girl-crush, should have known. Even now, whenever she gives that forced first ever smile, gives me shivers. But such a great cast, even to the smallest part for Cynthia Nixon.
This was a lot of fun. I love this movie and the first one. The cast is perfect. I probably saw them way too young because I have two older brothers and I always just watched whatever they were watching. But these movies started my love for Christina Ricci. She was my favorite actress as a kid. I think I watched everything she was in during the 90s at least a dozen times each.
I watched this when I was a kid and haven't seen it since, this was a blast from the past! I'm here for the 90s throwback concept, happy holiday to Alanda and all of us viewers
I needed this today. Thanks girl! Also, I'd love a video of you talking about Buffy maybe ranking some episodes or talking about some unpopular opinions. :)
The weird part is, debbie was kinda perfect for their family. Feels like she should've stuck around.
Ah, but the aesthetics divide would've been insurmountable. No peace could have been reached
@@samovarsa2640 “But Debbie... pastels?” 😂
Then again, Margaret was aesthetically different, but she ended up fitting in just fine. 🤷🏼♂️
That's the tragedy of Debbie, she finally found a place she would've been truly accepted and had unlimited money and she destroyed it because the Addams genuinely love each other, and she is only capable of loving herself.
GRACEFUL DELICATE😠😠😠👏👏👏
She was almost perfect for the family because they would love her, the issue we see is that she doesnt love back, which is what family is all about, she has the same psychotic tendencies, macabre humor and doesnt judge people but wouldnt give love back unlike Margaret
Debbie: Don't I deserve love?? . . . and jewelry?
Morticia: *nods tearfully*
Debbie: “We’ll aren’t you the lady killer!”
Gomez: “Acquitted.”
Amanda: I'll be the victim
Wednesday: All your life
Best read ever.
*Fun Fact* In Italian they say:"Can I be the drowned one?!😄" "Yes,FOREVER.💀"
How did you hear those lines? Well, you probably know the movie. I've never seen it. I'm gonna have to look it up and watch it now. A lot of the lines that seemed funny, I couldn't hear. Don't get me wrong, she's hilarious. I just wish she had paused sometimes.

I mean the entire cast is flawless, Ricci and Julia *could* carry the whole movie on their backs, they just don't have to.
This is still the best version yet
Yeah Julia was amazing but he made Gomez his own because he did NOT fit the original mold. Original mold was a more creepy weird lawyer type.
I love how Debbie says “No girl in her right mind would love you” then he meets Dementia 😭
🤣🙌🏾

Christina Ricci is perfection as Wednesday. Her speech where she "ruins the play" is classic comedy and brilliant. Love your commentary throughout was hilarious as always. Look forward to the next!!
When she pronounces Jamal as Jay-Mel it takes me out every time 🤣 she tried it
Even the lil boy has a hard time not cackling!!!! It’s GOLD
Same. Christine Baranski killed this role 😂
As a goth, I am highly disappointed that I haven't seen this before. This is PERFECTION
Debbie's actually a perfect addition to the Addams family.
She really was.
Shame she'd been burned so much she didn't see she had found her soul mates
True. They could have converted her if she hadn't died

Nah. You can’t teach a selfish bitch to love others.
She’s been added… to their cemetery.

I agree 100000% 😄
I always felt that whole Camp Chippewas side plot could have been a stand alone sequel!
Also Ms. Baranski is criminally underappreciated gem in this!
The way Gomez delivers that monologue to Nathan Lane....we truly didn't deserve Raul Julia
In the cabin scene where the kids get the wedding announcement, I just died from the fact that Pugsley was ready to throw them hands!!!!!
Waitin for an opportunity 🤣
Native people love this moment for Wednesday! She spoke so much truth! ✊🏼❤️
Oh, she’s a member of the tribe, straight up.
Always my favorite scene ❤
I am truly thankful today for the validation of my lifelong insistence that Christina Ricci's Wednesday smile is Oscar-worthy.
The funny thing is Debbie fit perfectly in with the Adams’ and if she would have not tried to kill Fester she would have had money for life lol
But Debbie....Pastels.?
She even had him sleepin in another room. Low effort, high yield gold diggin! 💀💀💀
True
@@richieb7692 didn’t matter, she was just as dark as them personality-wise haha
This movie is truly magical. So funny, so smart, so ahead of its time. And how rare to have a movie with 3 AMAZING queens like Anjelica, Christina and Joan???
Oh, and Christine Baranski, Dana Ivey and Carol Kane, too, of course!
Debbie didn’t realize that she was actually a part of the family. Crazed & demented. She fit right in but was money hungry. 🤣🤣
One of my fav 90s movies. Now that I’m an adult I still want Debbie’s wardrobe minus the pastel decor 😂😂
And I want Debbie minus her wardrobe.
9:06 I screamed when you said Harmony!! Youre the first reactor i've seen that recognised her in this as Harmony from Buffy 😆 truly this movie is such a good time and gets even better with age as most of us watched it when we were too young to get it 😅

Who to harmony again
Christina Ricci is seldom recognised too.
She was also in the first Addams Family movie. She was the Girl Scout at the lemonade stand.
_"White America _*_Clockwork Orange_*_ You to death."_ A description that is sublime in its simplicity and evocative perfection. It's like you're speaking Tamarian. Perfection.
I love how even when getting shot at, Fester held onto the loaf he made.
Either that or he knew not to throw away that silver platter, that's real Sterling.
I never realized til now that Mama's curse on Debbie came true!
Wednesday's addition to the Ghost Story trade-off in the cabin is the perfect example of "Know Your Audience".
Yess the best sequel ever.
Wednesday's a all mood in this movie.
Fun fact Nathan Lane played Gomez Addams in the Addams family the musical on Broadway. also the character of Debbie (played so perfectly by Joan Cusack)would have made the perfect addition to the Addams family if she wasn't so greedy.
“Graceful. Delicate.”
That scene takes me out every time 😂😂😂
RIP Gomez, your swag is timeless! And it's such a harsh realization that the Adams family had a healthier environment of inclusion and support than most of us!

And you don't want this smoke...cause it's more like black clouds circling your house!
Another standing Ovation for your hilarious video, I am in this rabbit hole!
This Movie had me laughing so hard and nonstop,i love your choice of movies 👍👍
Debbie laughing in her car and you laughing with her made this video for me looool, you are so funny.
Thank you 😊! SHE is so funny! Her performance kills me every time 🤣
“I completely forgot that Harmony was in this.” I love the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference!!! Now do The Silence of the Lambs!!
This was unexpected, but most welcome. I agree with everyone that Addams Family Values is one of the best sequels ever produced. I love everything about this movie.
Made me unreasonably happy that you immediately clocked her as Harmony. You’re one of the good ones
Just when you think they can't cast more perfectly for these films, here's Joan Cusack. And that play, yeah go Wednesday BUT -- Pugsley was having the time of his life up there, he may have found his calling! 😄🦃

One of the few instances where the sequel outdoes the original. This is my all time favorite Thanksgiving movie.

“Of course!” *picks up suitcases*

I haven’t even watched the video yet, but just seeing that you’re reacting to this gave me the biggest smile! Ok now sssh, I gotta watch. Sssh!!
100% same.
I very much recommend watching it, it's very funny
"We're not shy we're contagious' that's a good line for today, if you don't wanna hug somebody, you can say that line because of COVID.
I love that the last scene basically implies that Wednesday sees Joel as her "husband who she will kill by scaring"
I forgot Nathan Lane was in this movie! He's the cop who booked them omg. You should totally watch The Birdcage with him in it if you've never seen it. He manages to steal scenes away from the legendary Robin Williams (rip)!

The Addams Family, Addams Family Values and Casper are the three movies that made me love Christina Ricci. While The Addams Family and Addams Family Values are what made me love the character of Wednesday Addams.
Don't forget Now and Then. That's my favorite of her movies.
Same!!! Also the first 3 movies I saw her in! And she hasn’t let me down yet 😂
@@gabrielledarwin9375 I HAD forgotten about Now and Then. Going to watch that tonight! So great!
@@gabrielledarwin9375 Honestly the name "Now and Then" doesn't ring a bell for me, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for it, so I can experience more Christina Ricci
Yep. Her acting game was top tier on day one, that deadpan delivery stands at the top. And I mean look at her. (caveat, she's two years older than me ). I also adored her in Sleepy Hollow.
An absolute classic! I don’t think any movie was quoted more around my house during my childhood.
Long-time watcher, first-time commentor. I am thankful for you and all that you do.
🥰🥰 thank you so much, Babe!!
Such a perfectly functional family.
I love your reaction 😂😂 you just get how funny it is
Alanda Parker, you're my favorite! This review was just what I needed. I remember seeing this multiple times and somehow you had me laughing harder than any time before. "You've become Mr. Debbie!" I can't. Happy Thanksgiving bae.
😄💛 Happy Thanksgiving!!
@@AlandaParker Happy Thanksgiving 😊
My favorite small parts in this movie are Nathan Lane as that cop who is having none of Gomez's theatrics today, or Peter Graves as the newscaster doing the report on Debbie. He was an archetypal B-movie star back in the 1950s, and then he was the host of _Biography_ for a good time in the 90s, so thus cameo was basically him mushing those two things together.
Favorite Line:
Amanda: I’ll be the victim
Wednesday: All your life
🤣👏🏾🤣👏🏾🤣
So many classic, iconic, amazing moments! I adore it!
Love this film! And yeah as a Buffy fan it was surreal seeing Harmony here!
I loved your re-watch of this! Your enjoyment was positively infectious!
Absolutely one of my favorite movies. Raul Julia and Angelica are perfection.
I clicked SO fast once I saw this!!! Addams family is life!!!!
Was in 3rd grade when this came out and I still love it.
Classic RIP to Raul Julia I was 11 when I saw this in theaters. Alot of ppl feel Christina Ricci should've took of the role of Mortica due a photo of her as her for Halloween. Good times watched this movie at least 100 times
On my way to work, and I see this pop up. One of my favorites!
I’m obsessed with your channel lol 😂 Happy 😃 thanksgiving 🦃 love 💕 This is one of my favorite movies 🍿 enjoy 😊
Thank you so much!!! And Happy Thanksgiving, Babe!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
One of my favorite movies ever.
Christina was my first girl-crush, should have known.
Even now, whenever she gives that forced first ever smile, gives me shivers.
But such a great cast, even to the smallest part for Cynthia Nixon.
Ahh... Addams Family, breaking societal norms since 1938! Love how unapologetically different they're being...
This was a lot of fun. I love this movie and the first one. The cast is perfect. I probably saw them way too young because I have two older brothers and I always just watched whatever they were watching. But these movies started my love for Christina Ricci. She was my favorite actress as a kid. I think I watched everything she was in during the 90s at least a dozen times each.
“You will get chaptered out of this library” is such an amazing saying!
I watched this when I was a kid and haven't seen it since, this was a blast from the past! I'm here for the 90s throwback concept, happy holiday to Alanda and all of us viewers
Shout out to Ed ward scissor hands for a reaction
I love this movie. I watch this and the original every october.
Yesssss. So many great lines! And Joan Cusack giving one hell of an evil cackle.
The cackle that launched a thousand cackles! Perfection! 🤣
Ahh! What an adventure! I love it, so many good moments in this movie.
Fester: Give me kiss!
Debbie: give me a 20
I died laughing! She really was the perfect addition to this movie
glad to see someone enjoy that movie as much as I did. One of my favorite 90's comedy right up there with "Tommy Boy"
I needed this today. Thanks girl! Also, I'd love a video of you talking about Buffy maybe ranking some episodes or talking about some unpopular opinions. :)
