Eccentric, morbid, spooky and more than a little bit kooky – the far from normal Addams family faces a normal family challenge when their macabre daughter, Wednesday, falls in love with Lucas, a sweet young man from a respectable family whom her parents have never met. Worried her family might not approve of this all-too-normal match, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Things take a hilarious turn when the Addams family hosts a dinner for Lucas and his unsuspecting parents. On that fateful evening, relationships are tested, secrets are revealed, and the Addams family tackles both love and change by embracing the wackiness that resides in every family.
