![]() ![]() John Zmirak has a fun take on the original TV series: “I grew up loving The Addams Family, without knowing quite why, until one day as an adult I realized: These people are an aristocratic, trad-Catholic homeschooling family trapped in a sterile Protestant suburb! Shunning the utilitarianism and conformity that surrounds them, they face the Grim Reaper with rueful good cheer, in a Gothic home stock full of relics. Other than that, I think it’s a movie about a big, weird, loving family. But the actual situation seems more innocent to me than Common Sense Media’s take. Much of this will go over the head of young viewers.”Ģ019 UPDATE: I watched it, and I really think they ARE overreacting. Noises are made. There are several subtle references to sadomasochism, and a quick reference to child molestation relating to Uncle Fester. The couple can be heard having an orgasm while in public. “Strong sexual innuendo, especially between Gomez and Morticia. But the Common Sense Media review of it freaked me out a bit. I remember it as being about a quirky but loving family. I know I saw this as a kid, and liked it. So, if you’ve seen any of these, I’d love to hear what you thought of them. There aren’t a ton of scary movies aimed at kids available on streaming, so I was tempted to watch these with my kids.īut the reviews I found on them were troubling, so I thought I’d better preview them before I let the kids watch, but I haven’t had time to get through all (most) of them. *”bad” as in “not great cinema,” not “you shouldn’t let your kids watch this.” And they like pretty much everything, so that’s really saying something.

About him getting into shenanigans.BUT, on the other hand… My son did like it. Just take the “no-noggin” part out and put in a usually Curious George story. But, don’t pretend to be scary just because it’s a Halloween movie. Oh… And one more thing, how does everyone, including the “intelligent” adults, believe in No-Noggin? And seriously… No noggin? Really? That’s supposed to be scary.I don’t have if a Halloween movie is scary, especially with the kids that can’t handle scary movies (I couldn’t, myself). I enjoy the show, it’s pretty cute (except the Man with the Yellow Hat really needs to not let George get away with so much stuff). There are so many more better movies that they could’ve used.
