As sequels go, this is passable: no more coherent than the episodic first instalment, but with enough sick humour to satisfy the mildly depraved.

Reviews for Addams Family Values
Possibly even better than the first film...

The good news is that the one-liners are much funnier than the first time, mainly thanks to the increased input of screenwriter Paul Rudnick.

Overall this is a far tighter film, from the simpler but ever delightful set design to the sharp script and economical running time.

If you can laugh at campy perversity, there are enough snappy one-liners, hilarious sight gags and wonderfully twisted situations to put you on the floor.

Mr. Sonnenfeld repeats some of the first film's favorite visual stunts without wearing out their welcome, and he sustains much more exuberance than a sequel might be expected to have.

...if you liked the old Addams Family on television, you're sure to love them at least as much on film.

A far funnier movie than the original

The comedy has moved into high gear and become one of the funniest, most mean-spirited satirical assaults on sunny American values since the salad days of W.C. Fields.

Top CriticNot up to the first one, but watchable.

It remains perilously slim in the story department, but glides over the thin ice with technical razzle-dazzle and an exceptionally winning cast.

Top CriticWhen the film tries to advance a plot it loses most of its energy and humor, and tells a rather weak story. It is only when the story-telling comes to a full halt for the sake of a joke that the film is really funny.
