Leave your thoughts about Addams Family Values.
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannIt’s the kind of wickedly delicious comedy one can savor without adding the proviso of guilty pleasure. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperWhen 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. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksIf 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. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyIt remains perilously slim in the story department, but glides over the thin ice with technical razzle-dazzle and an exceptionally winning cast. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonAddams Family Values is another big opportunistic, pre-marketed studio show, but it has laughs, flair. At its best, it's a valentine of venom, sent with mirth and malice aforethought. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanWittier and more consistent than the first Addams Family movie. Paul Rudnick’s script offers sharp-edged variations on the topsy-turvy Addams worldview, and it’s much better at getting the Addamses out into the straight world, where they can really do some damage. |
| Miami HeraldJackie PottsMr. 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. The cast, which now includes Carol Kane playing Granny Addams, remains foolproof and great fun. |
| BBC.comAlmar HaflidasonOverall this is a far tighter film, from the simpler but ever delightful set design to the sharp script and economical running time. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhat is most beguiling about Addams Family Values is the way the relationship between Gomez and Morticia has ripened. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonI like it when Hollywood apologizes. And I liked this movie. Apology accepted. |
