Spot on about the actors of the second movie being better. Joan Cusack delivered the goods, but so did David Krumholtz as Joel and Peter MacNicol and Christine Baranski as the camp counselors.

But while the Fester gets married/camp scenario was funny, I would say the original was the better plot because of the location. We see more of the Addams' manor and it is more in-line with the, for lack of a better phrasing, creepy, kooky, and ooky, setting that the movie delivers. The sequel has that too, but it takes us away from it a little bit too often to be as authentic as the original. Plus there is the Pubert kid. That was a big miss.
