Andres is an accountant dedicated to reporting the truth, both at work and at home. He and his wife, Paula, have committed to a ''coherentO'' relationship; that is, a relationship based on fidelity, respect, and most importantly, the truth.

They're creepy and they're kooky." We all know the song. Fresh off his stint as cinematographer for the Coen Brothers, Barry Sonnenfeld's directorial debut keeps in line with the original Charles Addams cartoons, but adds the quirkiness which has become known as his own unique vision. The ghoulish family still lives in the familiar Gothic mansion we remember from the series, next to its own graveyard, on a blasted heath where nothing grows except for dead things.
