I have to admit that I was dubious when I bought it and found it much more like the TV show than the theatrical films in mood. Uncle Fenster, in particular, appeared much more someone to laugh at. As I watched it, I found this Morticia nowhere near as good as Angelica Huston's, the children fine, Fenster not serious enough.
But, when Gomez stepped out onto the tennis court ... he /was/ Gomez. Tim Curry had a very hard act to follow (Raul Julia's Gomez) but he did it very well indeed. And Fenster turned out to be fine as well, once I got used to his new persona.
Still, it is clearly aimed at children and clearly not a sequel to the other two (no Pubert, no Dementia). And it has that indefinable miasma of a direct-to-video production. Hence the not-so-high rating.
