Nothing But Trouble

Rochelle Walker | 11:51 p.m. April 7, 2000

First, it's a comedy based on the works of Charles Addams.
He created the Addams family and made dark humor a
household
name. Second, it was filled with a top-notch cast. And
third, Dan Akroyd was having fun. He made the movie for
fun. Something silly and titilating. I loved it. I
thought it was a good movie. But I also like Elvira, The
Addams Family and the Munsters as well. People shouldnt be
so critical of Akroyd or the film. Ask yourself, could you
have done any better? I couldnt. I give it two thumbs
up!And even though this is 2000, I still watch that crazy
movie, especially on rainy, cold nights when I just feel
silly.

I thought it was a great movie. I think they knew it was
not going to be up for an award. Just a fun movie made by
the characters. Could hit cult status one day. I have
watched it at least twenty times.

I found the movie quite interesting. The comedy is there
but
it is drier than dry. I'm a fan of British humor and
perhaps
thats why I found it intriguing. The movie was horrid and
gory on the surface but if you really look at
Vaulkenheimers, they were one screwed up group and I found
it comical in the way they live. I wouldn't trash the movie
but instead look at the special effects and the fact it is
funny in a wierd way.

Still enjoying it after all these years. This is not meant
to be rocket science folks! Falsto was a kick in this and
he makes me laugh every time I see it! Far worse movies out
there to be sure!! Miss John Candy.

I HATED IT!!!. it was just plain disturbing...... it
started slow and went straight to horribly bad and
disturbing. I found this on a another sight and i could
not have said it better myself, (Sometimes I wish that I
could take some kind of hypnotic therapy so that I can
have my memory of this film wiped for all time, but then I
think that if I did that, I might accidentally watch it
again, and then the pain would be fresh again.).... yea it
was that bad. I am warning you DO NOT WATCH IT!!!!!!!!
*twitch*........

Very twisted. It's like you're in someone's nightmare. I
personally didn't think it was amazingly funny but my
cousin thought it was hilarious (no she's not psychotic).
I just think that this movie was made for people with a
certain type of humor. I liked the mansion though. I think
I'll have my future house built like that.

I loved it!Aykroyd acted a little wierd,but its a comedy
ya all should watch it.The only thing I didn't like is that
Dan Aykroyd shouldn't be described as the bad guy!I wasn't
expecting that!

This is the worst movie ever made.

Was endlessly waiting for something funny to happen. I felt sorry for the actors; then myself and my friends. Horrible movie. This movie should be pulled from the shelves; or given to college cinema students as a lesson how not to write a movie. No one mentioned the vintage rap group that got off "Scott Free". Ouch. I will never forget this awful waste of visual space and time.

I enjoyed this movie even from when it first came out. I have it on DVD and watch it every few months. It's weird and disgusting and kind of a guilty pleasure.
