The movie is peppered with amusing sight gags and one-liners, but the disjointed script doesn't cohere into a successful whole. Read critic reviews

Deliciously sick and delightfully cast.

They're creepy and they're predictable? Mysterious and rather tame?

An extended collection of one-liners and not much more.

Despite inspired casting and nifty visual trappings, the eagerly awaited Addams Family figures as a major disappointment.

The film's aimlessness and repetitiveness eventually become draining.

At times this can all become a little silly but Sonnenfeld manages to rein the film in before things get too ridiculous.

Audience Reviews for The Addams Family

Jun 27, 2015Dark and wicked humour, this film plays better with age and is hilarious. This is one that deserves to be rediscovered in an age of dark tv shows like Lemony Snicket are growing popular on Netflix. The characters are unique and are hilariously sharp with biting humour of the era and great casting. The plot is a little thin but you can ignore this issue as it's mostly aimed at the characters, the brothers plot to be precise. The bizarre Addams family are placed firmly within reality so it's this revamp that keeps the storyline from growing old. I have fond memories of this film and Cousin It, is one of the favorite moments of the film. I think this film has grown better with time and deserves a rediscovery, I could imagine watching this film on the big screen if they decided to unleash the vault. 17-07-2017.Brendan N Super Reviewer

Feb 16, 2015A tonally loyal adaptation of the 60's TV show. Some nonsensical moments and lacklustre scenes but Huston and Julia steal the thing with such fervour you can't help but enjoy yourself at least a little.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Nov 14, 2014Despite the outstanding cast and a a few great moments, its mostly disappointing due to the weak screenplay.Alec B Super Reviewer

Jul 11, 2014Based on the '60s television sitcom, The Addams Family is wickedly funny. The story follows a shyster lawyer who tries to pull a con on the strangely macabre Addams Family by passing off an impostor as their long lost uncle Fester. Featuring Anjelica Huston, Christopher Lloyd, and Christina Ricci, the performances are extraordinarily good; particularly Huston, who does an incredible job at delivering the dry, morbid humor. In fact, the comedy is exceptionally well-written and includes a lot of outrageous sight gags. Full of laughs, The Addams Family is an insanely fun and hysterical family film.Dann M Super Reviewer
