Leave your thoughts about The Addams Family 2.
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowThis sequel makes up for some of the problems with the 2019 "Addams Family" animated family film, which suffered from an uneven tone and a meandering storyline. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanIn the case of The Addams Family 2, Tiernan and Vernon have used the sequel as an opportunity for an upgrade. The script is by an entirely new team (Dan Hernandez, Benji Samit, Ben Queen, and Susanna Fogel), and in some ineffable bats-in-the-belfry way the jokes now land with a more inspired and spontaneous creepy kookiness. |
| The IndependentClarisse LoughreyThese animated outings will always feel like a flash in the pan if they continue to rely on contemporary nods as a source of cheap humour. |
| CNNBrian LowryThis animated sequel plucks enough of the right buttons to qualify as a reasonable addition to family movie time. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliIt’s generic but not so bad that it becomes unwatchable. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThe flat and uninspired Addams Family 2 is the wrong kind of “twofer,” in that it’s often too dark and grotesque and bizarre for children, but also profoundly unfunny when it tries to appeal to the grown-ups. |
| TheWrapYolanda MachadoBuilding on 2019’s solidly entertaining animated entry, The Addams Family 2 remains kooky and fun, yet it lacks the warmth from the previous film and feels more juvenile, too. |
| The New York TimesLena WilsonWhere it could lean into the typically bone-dry Addams family humor, this film more often relies on poop jokes, explosions and the musical talents of Snoop Dogg. It’s sure to entertain little ones, but parents may find themselves itching for something more impish. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Aparita BhandariThe Addams Family 2 allowed me a couple of nostalgic chuckles, while the kids were entertained by the antics. It wasn’t entirely a snooze, but I can’t say it was particularly memorable for either of us. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt’s understandable that MGM would want to make a sequel to their sleeper smash of a couple of years ago. It’s laudable that they stuck with the same animation house that made that one, giving them another fine visual showcase. But it’s unforgivable that MGM would do a rush job sequel and waste all this glorious animation on a corpse of a kids’ comedy |
