A few brave women came forward and ended his reign.   //   The main women in this action are played by ...

The Addams Family Movie Review

The film is filled with imaginative moments like Thing (the hand with no body) watching appendage porn on his laptop and the butler Lurch (Conrad Vernon) tickling the ivories and belting out the R.E.M. song Everybody Hurts.
