“The Addams Family: School Edition” — a comic feast that embraces the wackiness in every family – features an original story and is every father’s nightmare.
Wednesday Addams, princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a “respectable” family. Her parents have never met him. Wednesday confides in her father, begging 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. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend … and his parents.
