Hundreds of years agone, the Addams family ancestors came from the sometime country and settled on a plot of land in what is now New York's Central Park. This was, of class, long before information technology was a park, when it was still wilderness. The family flourished for many generations, and eventually, a huge business firm was built where a dandy Spanish oak, the Addams Family unit Tree, had been planted to protect the bequeathed graves from such annoyances equally sunlight and tourists.
As the drape rises, the terminal dead leaf of autumn falls from the Family Tree, and all is correct with the morbid, macabre world of Gomez, Morticia, Fester, Grandma, Midweek, Pugsley and Lurch. They've gathered – where else? – in the family unit graveyard, to celebrate life and death in a yearly ritual to connect with their past and ensure their time to come. They seem at peace, not just with each other and their inimitable, unchanging Addams-ness, but with their expressionless ancestors, too – who emerge from their graves on this evening each year to bring together in this celebration of continuity. But, at the end of the ritual, Fester blocks the ancestors' return to their graves. Those unchanging Addams family values are about to be tested.
Fester enlists their help to gear up things correct, simply in case a new family hush-hush goes terribly wrong. What's the hugger-mugger? Wed Addams, that irresistible bundle of malice, has grown up and found love. So what's the problem? The beau, Lucas Beineke, is from Ohio, and his parents are coming to dinner to meet the family. Two different worlds are about to collide. Will honey triumph, or will everyone go domicile vaguely depressed? Gomez and Morticia are understandably wary. Wednesday is their baby, even if she is 18. Their doubts bloom into actual terror when they eavesdrop on Wednesday, who, in the midst of her afternoon play-date with Pugsley, refuses to torture her brother and involuntarily bursts into song – extolling all things bright and beautiful as love pulls her in an entirely new, and cheerful, direction.
Like any parents faced with a child in terrible trouble, Gomez and Morticia wonder, "Where did we become incorrect?" Midweek begs her parents non to cancel the dinner, and exhorts the entire family unit to act every bit 'normal' as possible when Lucas and his parents get in. She loves her family just the way they are, but they clearly fall exterior the realm of what the Heart-American Beinekes are used to, and Wednesday's afraid that, if his parents don't approve of her, they'll take Lucas dorsum to Ohio, and she'll never see him again. Similar any unconditionally loving family unit, the Addams' promise to do their best to oblige, while, lost somewhere in Primal Park, young Lucas asks his parents to resist any judgments and all catastrophic conflicts, so both families tin can savor 1 normal night.
In yet another part of the house, Pugsley, having witnessed Midweek and Lucas making out, worries that he's lost his best friend to her new, disgustingly sunny disposition. Plotting to interruption upwardly the happy couple, Pugsley steals a volatile potion from Grandma'southward individual stash – Acrimonium – one swig of which is guaranteed to bring out the dark side in anyone who drinks it. After what is probable a less-than-normal meal, Wed hushes the table for Lucas' surprise announcement. Just Gomez reminds Wed that, earlier anything else happens, information technology'due south time for the traditional Addams family game, "Full Disclosure" – during which everyone takes a sip from a sacred chalice and reveals something they've never told anyone. Gomez uses his Disclosure to endeavor, again in vain, to at-home Morticia. Fester announces that he's in the throes of a nearly unlikely dearest – with the moon. When it's Wednesday's turn, Pugsley seizes his chance! He secretly pours the Acrimonium potion in the chalice and passes information technology to his sister. But his plan to awaken the dark side in Wed goes horribly wrong when Alice, coughing, intercepts the chalice and downs the potion instead. A whole new Alice, very dark and uninhibited, is born. The powerful poison prompts her to reveal the long-cached problems with her wedlock, humiliating Mal, who, fed up with all the weird and creepy events of the evening, makes to leave, with Alice and Lucas in tow. Wed blurts out the news: "Lucas and I are getting married!" Anarchy engulfs both families like a tidal moving ridge, and Fester, always-helpful, urges the Family Ancestors to work some magic – whipping upward a sudden, terrible storm and trapping the Beinekes with the Addams family unit for the night.
While the storm rages, Wednesday packs a bag, but Lucas has no appetite for running away and getting married without his parents' blessing. Wednesday, furious at everything it means to be normal, and furious at herself for trying and then difficult to become somebody his parents would accept,leaves alone. I more of Gomez' episodes prompts Morticia to throw him out of her boudoir. Her globe is changing and she's not ready, and her only comfort is knowing that death is waiting for her, only around the corner. But it is very cold comfort indeed. In the invitee room, Alice, under the influence of the darkness potion, tin can no longer rhyme. Neither tin she tolerate her husband's contemptuous attacks on Lucas and honey. She packs him off with a pillow and blanket to sleep somewhere else, as the storm inside her heart, and outside in the park, rumbles to a conclusion.
Once the rains have stopped, Fester heads outside for a couple of hours of moon-bathing, realizing – after observing the iii couples fighting – the sheer luck of being in a long-altitude relationship, with the distant argent orb in the sky that smiles down on him from the heavens. Sitting under the family tree, contemplating the twists and turns of this most unusual night, Gomez stops Wednesday on her way out of the park. He realizes the affair he was nigh resistant to – his baby girl'due south growing upwardly – is inevitable, and proper. He sees that she's a young adult female in love. And that makes him happy. And a tiny chip sad. With her father'south blessing, Wednesday offers Lucas one examination to prove that he's The One. The test involves her skills with a crossbow, an apple, and Lucas standing with said apple tree on his head in front of the family tree. The boy is afraid of death, but fifty-fifty more than afraid of losing Wednesday. He chooses the possibility of expiry over the certainty of loss – and wins. Far below, in the grotto, Gomez and Mal, two displaced husbands, realize they have more in common than they would have dared imagine only a few hours earlier. While Mal is with Gomez, Lurch ushers Alice down to the grotto. She's a woman on a mission; she'south going to lay down the law; changes must be made if the marriage is to survive.
Morticia packs a pocketbook and is ready to leave. Merely the ancestors' spirits have led Gomez to discover her. The other warring couples, Wednesday and Lucas, Alice and Mal, accept fabricated their peace. Now Gomez woos his wife, every bit he offset did 1 night many years before, with the promise to "express joy and weep and dance until the very gods weep with envy." The mournful strains of a bandoneon waft upwards on the breeze, entwining with the tempting wail of a violin – and a tango begins – the Tango de Amor, the quintessence of Eros, the dance that makes men cry and women weep out in the night. The irresistible expression of dearest betwixt husband and married woman. And Morticia cannot resist. With all three couples reunited, Fester is emboldened to make his movement, and launches himself to the moon. Landing safely, his face appears – the man in the moon – and, dear having emphatically triumphed in heaven and on earth, the gate to the family unit crypt swings open, allowing the spirits of the ancestors to residue for another year. It's been a night of darkness. Everything's changed. And the new, extended family unit understands: The unknown may be frightening, the darkness overwhelming,but if we don't run from information technology, we may see our mysterious, miraculous lives finally illuminated. If we move toward the darkness, we might find love and credence. For when it is night enough, we tin can see the stars.
