Uneven as it is, Addams Family Values is considerably more enjoyable than its predecessor. At this rate, if there's a third installment, it'll be a knockout. Or at least a TKO.

You've got to respect a comedy that makes light of arson, torture, and murder in these squeamish times.
Michael Sragow, New Yorker
Rotten
Somehow, the new production fails to sustain the creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky and altogether ooky visual sweep that held the first film together.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh
At its best, it's a valentine of venom, sent with mirth and malice aforethought.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

Even if the sequel doesn't offer the delight of discovery, the trip back to Chateau Addams is more than the dead end it could have been.
