94 minutes
Morticia (Anjelica Houston) and Gomez (Raul Julia) have a third child, Pubert. They hire Debbie (Joan Cusack) to look after Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Puglsey (Jimmy Workman), after they attempt to kill their new sibling. Debbie convinces Gomez and Morticia that what Wednesday and Pugsley really want is to go to camp. Debbie turns her attention to Fester once Pugsley and Wednesday are away at camp.
Fester loves the attention that Debbie lavishes on him. He is blind to the fact that all she is interested in is his money. Debbie and Fester get married. Debbie tries to kill Fester on the honeymoon. Her attempt ends in failure but she insists that Fester can never se his family again.
Wednesday and Pugsley hate camp. They are ostracized by most of the other campers. They do their utmost to resist any and all attempts to make them conform. They have one ally throughout, Joel Glicker who is allergic to everything.
Fester eventually comes to his senses and realizes that his wife is trying to kill him. Wednesday and Pugsley eventually escape from camp and return home.
Thoughts
I love the humor in this movie as I did in the previous film. The ending didn't satisfy me. I enjoyed the movie so much up to that point that I was able to overlook that shortcoming. This movie probably isn't for everyone but I really like it a lot.
