Okay, it's not even remotely on par with the original Munsters but then it was never going to be. Taking it at face value for what it is, a silly, almost childish, campy frolic homage to a classic. I'm not a big fan of Zombie or his wife for that matter but I enjoyed the film. Sheri is actually quite likable as Lily. Jeff did a pretty good job in an almost impossible character to pull off. He was never going to come close to Fred. Daniel was very good as Grampa.
Ok, there's not much of a story here. It's clearly a "how it all started" movie that looks to be heading to a sequel. The only thing that really bothered me about it was the colour. I found it all a bit too fancy. It should have been dumbed down a bit, even made darker and grain, like old film instead of the glossy digital we get nowadays. I think that would have improved the outlook a lot.
I gave it a 7. I enjoyed it, the wife did too. It passed an hour or so and was like a little trip down memory lane to when we were kids watching the original Munsters on Saturday mornings.
