A worthy sequel February 20, 2006
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Having established the unique world of the Addams' in the first movie, the writers and producers go for more sight gags and cheap laughs in the sequel--not that there's anything wrong with that. After all, it's what the TV series did.
Especially when the cheap laughs are so good and plentiful--and as with Addams I, the women steal the show.
Morticia reading "The Cat in the Hat" to her baby is a priceless moment. Wednesday forced to smile at summer camp; a mesmerising performance.
If you enjoy spotting stars in bit parts they did before they were famous, watch for Cynthia Nixon (Sex and the City) as the hippie-chick nanny, Peter MacNichol (Ally McBeal) as the cheery camp counsellor, and Nathan Lane (The Producers) as the indifferent cop.
One quibble, and it's one which every Addams Family movie will face. It's very difficult to create a believable character for the villain, when all the villainous cliches have been co-opted by the good guys. Poor Joan Cusack does her best. But when the script calls for her to do the classic mad-scientist laugh, well...I can't help but think a real Addams would have been laughing along with her. Besides, if her only crime is wanting to do in her husband, is not the Addams family graveyard full of admired relatives who did just that? Hmmm...
Of course, the real villain of the piece is shallow, middle-class suburbia outside the Gate. And luckily, Wednesday and Pugley vanquish this demon in the form of an excruciatingly cheerful summer camp. Watch he telling a ghost story...
In all, a good and very funny successor to the original.
 ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES... February 2, 2003

Yet again, emerges some rotten scoundrel to attempt to disrupt the Addams household, & to trick them out of their fortune. Will they ever learn?This time, a buxom blonde bombshell appears, to gain Fester's amorous attention, & thereby manipulate her way to the family jewels. But this erzatz Addams is a black widow in disguise. She employs wile & guile to get her bratty way, yet is thwarted by the Addams mentality at every turn. Sometimes, it seems the Addams Family is under the sovereignity of some Dark Force. Hmmmm, could it be ----- SATAN?! Yes, seemingly effortlessly, The Addams Brood, gleefully morbid as they are, always come out on top. In both movies, the romantic scenes between Gomez & Morticia always makes Me cast a loving & appreciative glance at My beloved. The musical scores are always evocative & beautifully inspirational. The Addams Family & Addams Family Values definitely receives the Draconian Seal of Approval.

3 out of 4 found this review helpful
this movie is just as good as the prequel. christina ricci (however) steals the show (again). her supreb acting as wednesday completely blew my soxx off. fester goes and gets married, mrticia and gomez have to deal with a new baby, and wednesday and pugsley get sent off to the horrors of horros...SUMMER CAMP!! who would want to be out in the fresh air and sunshine with a bunch of snobby kids? the only good thing is that wednesday finds love there. oh-lala!! won't give out anymore info, you'll have to see the movie for yourself. and see the first one too!!
Great! Loved It! Funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! December 8, 2004

This movie was exelent. It all starts with "Gomez, wonderful news. I'm going to have a baby-right now!" Well, that leads to a baby; a baby sitter-who wants to marry Fester and steal his money. Thats not to mention she's planning to kill the entire family in the prosess. Wach this movie; but wach the first one too.
