There are some strange contrivances and contradictions within the plot, especially considering its forced and all too convenient final few moments (mostly concerning the true identity of a key character), but the majority of the piece is a frightfully fun, delightfully devilish time that's quirky in the best possible way. 'The Addams Family (1991)' does strangely seem to condone the dangerous behaviour of its protagonists, especially the small macabre siblings who take teasing to a whole other level, which is nearly always amusing, yet portrayed in an oddly consequence-free way that makes it feel quite challenging - at least, for its supposed target audience. Still, though it creaks in places and is certainly a bit hokey in others, this is an enjoyable - if predictable - feature that's built on suitably ostentatious, highly entertaining performances and a wryly knowing screenplay. 7/10
