yep, star studded voices and that was it. I don't think anyone in the theater laughed (including the kids) Wanted to see the Adams family characters being the Adams family. Not all kids movies have to have a moral to the story, just let them be entertaining for the sake of entertainment. Grand daughter was ready to leave half way through. Best part...........when they played the theme song and everyone "sang and snapped" to the music. Glad it was an inexpensive matinee.
