Overall rating: 3 out of 5

The ghoulish cartoon family created by Charles Addams returns for a second big-screen outing darker and nastier than the first. When Morticia Addams (Anjelica Huston) gives birth to new baby boy Pubert, the other Addams children, Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) and Wednesday (Christina Ricci), devise any number of ways to kill off their new sibling. This leads Morticia and her husband, Gomez Raul Julia, to hire a nanny (Joan Cusack) to oversee all three children. But the nanny has an agenda of her own, packing the Addams children off to a horrid parody of summer camp and setting out to seduce Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd), all with the goal of getting her hands on the Addams family fortune. Of course, the Addams eventually triumph, with this blacker-than-most satire extolling the virtues of eccentricity and non-conformity above all. It was followed by 1999's direct-to-video Addams Family Reunion, with Darryl Hannah and Tim Curry replacing Huston and the late Julia.~ Don Kaye, All Movie Guide

Most helpful review Addams Family Values

The happiest of families

By Hierophant (26 reviews) from Ipswich , 13 May 2004

[Highly rated reviewer]

'Addams Family Values' is that rare thing, a sequel that is the equal of the first film.

The performances from the leads - Angelica Huston, Raul Julia et al - are uniformly excellent but the standout for me is, and ever shall be, Joan Cusack's jaw dropping turn as Debbie, wife and psychopath.

Breaking the family up, by packing the kids off to summer camp and sending Fester on honeymoon, is an inspired touch that gives everyone a bit of room to shine.

Great film wonderfully played and realised. Full of laughs, spills and elaborate gags.

Inappropriate for PG rating

By a customer , 29 Nov 2012

I can't review the whole film as we switched off after 10 minutes because the sexual innuendo was completely inappropriate for our kids (aged 7 and 9). Don't let your kids watch alone!

spot on subversion

By yomeboy (3 reviews) from Cambridge, UK , 22 May 2010

The American dream turned on its head, given a moustache and a cigar and sent off to live in a graveyard.
