Animation. Comedy The Addams get tangled up in more wacky adventures and find themselves involved in hilarious run-ins with all sorts of unsuspecting characters. Sequel to the 2019 animated film, 'The Addams Family'.

	Media	Author	Review
		Tony Sokol Den of Geek	"Any all-American family could see themselves at the center of 'The Addams Family 2'. That’s not a compliment (...) The visual aspect of 'The Addams Family 2' is at least impressive (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Lena Wilson The New York Times	"It’s sure to entertain little ones, but parents may find themselves itching for something more impish."
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Creepier and Kookier Than the First (...) a sequel with a riper sense of macabre loopiness."
		Matt Fowler IGN	"The story isn't quite massaged and molded enough to make sense within the world of Addams (...) It's a bizarre and overly rambunctious ride"
		Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times	"The first film struck at the heart of what makes the Addams family unique (...) That sentiment is repeated in the sequel, “The Addams Family 2,” but the whole endeavor, unfortunately, delivers diminishing returns."
		Hau Chu The Washington Post	"'The Addams Family 2' relies too heavily on silly jokes that will get a chuckle out of its youngest viewers — and maybe a few adults (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Nell Minow rogerebert.com	"The new film has a better understanding of how to make the most of what has made these characters so enduringly popular (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"At 93 minutes, The Addams Family 2 feels longer than it actually is (...) Part of the problem is that even with a relatively well-constructed script, the film itself is mostly boring"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Too dark for kids, too dumb for adults (...) I’d love to say this is a movie the whole family can enjoy, it’s more like this is a movie the whole family can skip altogether (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Kristen Lopez IndieWire	"'The Addams Family 2' is a giant step backward (...) If this is what the Addams family are up to these days, audiences likely won’t feel compelled to go along on the next altogether ooky outing."
		Yolanda Machado The Wrap	"It’s clear within minutes that Wednesday’s journey is the emotional glue for “The Addams Family 2,” but no glue can stick when there’s too much lint on the surface."
		Josh Spiegel SlashFilm	"A Sequel That's Better Off Dead (...) even as the first animated film felt a little sweaty in its storytelling, this is painfully, flat-out desperate."
		Cath Clarke The Guardian	"'The Addams Family 2' is without an iota of ooky, nor any shred of kooky. Really, it's just kind of ghastly –and not in the intended way (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"A ridiculous, straightforward animated update to an enduring property (...) It's not a great movie, but it likely succeeds in its goal as a manic comedy bit for children (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Ian Freer Empire	"Ironically, given the mantra for its main characters is about embracing the weird, [it] does little that is out-there or different, delivering a safe, stale 93 minutes. It never actually clicks (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
