The members of the odd Addams Family are up to more macabre antics in this sequel. This time around, Gomez Addams (Raul Julia) and his wife, Morticia (Anjelica Huston), are celebrating the arrival of a baby boy. But siblings Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) are none too happy about the new addition, and try their best to eliminate the infant. When nanny Debbie Jelinsky (Joan Cusack) appears to keep the kids in line, her presence leads to an unexpected treacherous twist.

Critics Consensus

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rated: 5/5

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.

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.

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.
