I wonder how many times Christina had to practice trying to smile like that to do that scene as perfectly as she did.

[bradredford]

She should've won an Oscar just for this scene.

[dannyyboy]

I love how it at first looks like smiling is actually causing Wednesday physical pain. Nobody can play Wednesday the way Christina Ricci did

[kaydenevideo]

Christina Ricci KILLED it in this scene. Lol. So good.

[rowenaravenclaw]

“Isn’t she scaring me!”....so hilarious

[MrSotero]

I love how she makes the smile look forced and genuine at the same time.

[murphcoenterprises]

Wednesday is only smiling at the thought of the horrible things she gonna do them.

Joel: “But... it’s Disney”
Paramount lawyers: “Well yes but no... here’s some stuff we have the license to”

[Adamguy]

Let's be honest, everyone:
Even though the technical main focus of 'Addams Family Values' was on Uncle Fester and Debbie, this subplot with Wednesday and Pugsley at camp was what the fans cared about the most and were the most invested in!

[Legba]

Wednesday wasn’t smiling because they broke her. She crafted the perfect bout of revenge and it made her smile.

[ambercrosland]

Oh boy wensday really knew how to fool everyone at camp into believing that she changed into what they wanted ! Bravo to her !

[TheOnlyBiodude]

I love how you can feel the weight of the shift from frown to smile. It really shows how unusual smiling is for her.

[TheLastOfTheFinest]

For me, this has got to be one of the greatest moments in cinema history.
Reason #1: At 1:51, The way Wednesday is looking as if it truly has to be hurting her face to smile for the first time, superb acting from Christina Ricci.
Reason #2: At 2:02, the way the other kids reacted seeing Wednesday smile as if it was something hideous made the scene much more hilarious.
Reason #3: Even though Wednesday's smile has managed to pull the wool over the eyes over the camp counselors and everyone else, anyone who's watching this movie and know what Wednesday can be capable of know that eventually she is going to unleash "total hell" upon those who tormented her during her time at the camp.

[martijnvanzanen]

She did this scene so good lol, after all those years its still printed in my skull.

[adrian]

The transition of her smile is GOLD! give her all the awards!

[SuperHaoken]

I love this scene, everything is perfect:
-She puts so much effort to smile
-the creepy face
-everybody's reaction

[futuremovieactor]

If someone who rarely or never smiles does it like this,  look out.

[gogurtgc]

Wednesday: *smiles*
That girl that no one likes: ShE’s ScArInG mE!!

[iiSomeone]

Jenna’s performance was an icing on a cake.
People change through time, from a twisted little girl to a more sophisticated twisted teenager. 😂
I’m so damn happy that Jenna didn’t fall short.

[theprousteffect]

The array of facial expressions on Christina's face is pretty impressive.
