QUICK TAKE:
Computer-Animated Comedy: A creepy and kooky family goes on a road trip across America in hopes of keeping their dour daughter from growing further apart from them.
PLOT:

Wednesday Addams (voice of CHLOË GRACE MORETZ) is a dour girl who lives with her creepy and kooky family -- parents Gomez (voice of OSCAR ISAAC) and Morticia (voice of CHARLIZE THERON), brother Pugsley (voice of JAVON 'WANNA' WALTON), Uncle Fester (voice of NICK KROLL), and Grandma Addams (voice of BETTE MIDLER). Only friendly with their butler, Lurch (voice of CONRAD VERNON), Wednesday wants nothing to do with the rest of her family, which doesn't sit well with Gomez who wants to make things right.

Accordingly, and after she unhappily co-wins a science project competition by injecting her pet octopus' personality into Uncle Fester -- which draws the attention of scientist Cyrus Strange (voice of BILL HADER) -- Gomez decides to take the family on a road trip across America for some family bonding.

During that, they're briefly joined by rich Cousin Itt (voice of SNOOP DOGG), but Gomez and Morticia don't appreciate it when lawyer Rupert Strange (voice of WALLACE SHAWN) shows up and informs them he has a client who claims Wednesday was switched at birth and is actually his daughter. As they make their way across the country, Gomez tries to make Wednesday happy, all while contending with developments that strain and threaten her relationship with the rest of the family.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
If they liked the first film, they probably will.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG
For macabre and rude humor, violence, and language.


I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
