It’s much better that I remember. Especially if you watch it with your kid and get to explain the original show to them and why the stuff is supposed to be funny. And it really was perfectly cast.

Changing my original review of it and rating it two Bananas up.
 
Are we talking Kay Adams?

Ever watch the Netflix series Wednesday? stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, who absolutely nails that character imo.
 
I've always enjoyed watching it. The Addams Family vs. Munsters debate was always silly, as the Addams Family clearly had superior, more intellectually nuanced comedy. The over the top laugh track from those early shows added to the enjoyment of the show.

John Astin (Gomez) is still alive and kicking. Great actor.
I never knew there was a debate between the two shows. I always enjoyed each on their own merits. Crazy Gomez is still alive, I woulda thought he was long gone.

Oh, huge debate. Right up there with Coke vs Pepsi or Madonna vs Cindi Lauper.

Good read, although in the comments there’s a pretty compelling argument for the Munsters being the superior IP, at least during the original runs of each show, which shockingly only lasted two years for each. I remember watching reruns as a kid and I would have sworn those shows were on for years lol.

The movie is great. Julia and Huston are one of the best on screen duos that rarely get mentioned. Julia turns it up to 11 and their on screen chemistry is flawless.
