The Addams clan has returned from their disastrous suburban retreat, only to find their beloved, gloomy mansion is under a threat more terrifying than sunshine: gentrification. A powerful, disgustingly cheerful real estate mogul has bought the entire block and plans to convert the Addams estate into a “Wellness & Serenity Spa,” complete with pastel colors and mandatory gratitude journaling.
The shocking news sends the usually stoic Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) into an uncharacteristic spiral of existential despair, a state Gomez (Luis Guzmán) mistakes for an exciting new form of romance. While Gomez attempts to woo her out of her “swoon of misery” with extreme tango and celebratory dynamite, the children take action.
Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) teams up with a surprisingly compliant Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) to use her forensic skills and Pugsley’s macabre knitting startup to launch a targeted campaign of urban decay. Their goal: make the mansion so unsettlingly horrific that the real estate mogul is forced to abandon his pastel dreams. This involves strategic deployments of toxic mold, engineered spontaneous combustion, and a highly complex web of passive-aggressive haunting.
But the biggest threat comes from within when Morticia, in her attempt to “fit in” and maintain their home, starts embracing the spa’s mandatory positive thinking—a concept that nearly shatters the family. Now, the Addamses must band together, embracing the chaos and morbidity that defines them, to save their home from the ultimate horror: happiness and light.
The Addams Family 4: Morticia’s Manic Meltdown is a wickedly witty and visually lush adventure that proves sometimes, the only way to save your soul is to be perfectly, beautifully miserable.
