Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Gomez and Morticia (Julia and Huston) have a baby, Pubert. As sequels go, this is passable: no more coherent than the episodic first instalment, but with enough sick humour to satisfy the mildly depraved. Wednesday (Ricci) and Pugsley (Workman) use a guillotine in a playful attempt to lop off the new branch of the family tree. Pubert survives. But Uncle Fester (Lloyd) looks like falling into the clutches of the new nanny, Debbie Jellinsky (Cusack), an ample-bosomed black widow with an eye on the family fortune.Author: NF
