The IndependentClarisse LoughreyOct 14, 2021
These 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. Read full review

CNNBrian LowryOct 1, 2021
This animated sequel plucks enough of the right buttons to qualify as a reasonable addition to family movie time. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Aparita BhandariOct 8, 2021
The 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. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliOct 1, 2021
It’s generic but not so bad that it becomes unwatchable. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperOct 1, 2021
The 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. Read full review

TheWrapYolanda MachadoOct 1, 2021
Building 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. Read full review

The New York TimesLena WilsonOct 1, 2021
Where 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. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyOct 1, 2021
What’s missing, among other things, is the dark humor that is the Addams family’s whole raison d’être. Read full review

The Irish TimesTara BradyOct 8, 2021
Two directors and four credited screenwriters signed off on a lazy screenplay that a starry cast and an Oscar-winner can do little to enliven. Read full review

The GuardianCath ClarkeOct 8, 2021
As charmless as its predecessor, 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. Read full review

EmpireIan FreerOct 7, 2021
Ironically, given the mantra for its main characters is about embracing the weird, The Addams Family 2 does little that is out-there or different, delivering a safe, stale 93 minutes. Unlike that killer theme tune, it never actually clicks. Read full review

IGNMatt FowlerOct 1, 2021
It's a bizarre and overly rambunctious ride that forsakes cleverness for Billboard acts and dizzying set pieces. Read full review
