New, well-developed characters add dimension to this batty satire, creating a comedy much more substantial than the original.

Derek Malcolm Guardian The result, if you've seen the first effort, is utterly predictable throughout since the whole conception is stymied by the fact that this is a black comedy designed for a PG certificate, and thus only a very pale shade of gray. Sep 22, 2022 Full Review David Denby New York Magazine/Vulture Addams Family Values is a rare comedy sequel that actually improves on the original, and the reason, I suspect, is that Rudnick, who wrote the screenplay, has been allowed to run wild. Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Lynden Barber Sydney Morning Herald Addams Family Values is a slick, witty and mischievous delight, and one of those rare sequels which surpasses its predecessor. Not that the latter was a difficult task. Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week Addams Family Values becomes a veritable joke factory, where Lloyd’s physical comedy is unlocked, Ricci’s deadpan trends even deader, and Morticia and Gomez remain the platonic ideal of sexy goth parents. Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness There’s a lot about "Values" that I don’t think can be appreciated *as much* in adolescence, whereas the shifted perspective not only makes the film make more sense, but increases the appreciation. Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast A step up from its already-solid predecessor, Addams Family Values doubles down on the camp and macabre humor to wonderful effect, thanks in no small part to scene-stealing turns from Ricci and Cusack.

Audience Member A Classic they do not make Movies this Good anymore. Raul Julia is Epic Do not Underestimate Christina Ricci Show stealer yet again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Audience Member Hoi:) The humor is, as usual, dark and extra-absurd. That's precisely what makes it special. The characters have clearly recognizable characteristics and are still very different from each other. That also has a certain charm. There are some cool scenes where you initially think the characters will surprise you, for example, because they behave differently than usual. But then they're just like usual. This is precisely what makes the film's humor even more absurd. The over-the-top jokes definitely don't fall short. Overall, the film is worth watching. Not so ggod like the movie from 1991. But its a good movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review M B Absolutely amazingly written sequel with out of this world performances and hilarious set pieces. So intelligent in places you will want to watch it over and over, Christina Ricci is INCREDIBLE as Wednesday. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review UNiTE L los Addams siempre seran un clasico Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Kevin P Personally, I found this to be a huge improvement over the first film. The rapid-fire comedy and fast pacing comedy make this super entertaining. I also appreciate how even most of the “normal” people are crazy in their own way with a nice satirical mirror to make the Addams Family ironically look more oddly wholesome. It's very entertaining and a great Halloween cult classic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Jade C Funniest movie ever made. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
