Director Barry Sonnenfeld and writer Paul Rudnick use the Thanksgiving play at Camp Chippewa to brilliantly satirize the holiday's troubled history and dated iconography.
Beneath the madcap Addams Family antics, the film explores timeless Thanksgiving themes like family tensions and the values that unite us, making it an oddball classic for the holiday season.
