Synopsis - The Addams Family features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday

Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man

from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough,

Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do

something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change

for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his

parents.
