From a Zulu wedding to a spooky family - There are some exciting new things to watch in SA cinemas this weekend

Cape Town – The kookiest family on the block is back on the big screen this weekend.

In the latest version of Charles Addams' classic cartoon the family's lives begin to unravel when they move to New Jersey and face-off against a sly reality TV host. It has an A-list voice cast including Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz and Bette Midler.

Also showing: Will Smith fights himself in an Ang Lee directed action film, cultures clash in a local romantic comedy, and greed and class discrimination threaten a relationship between a rich and poor family in an award-winning thriller.

Movie: The Addams Family
