Reviews
David Sims, The Atlantic:
Addams Family Values, a sequel that turns 25 years old this week, remains the pinnacle of the [Thanksgiving movie]—even if none of the characters ever sits down for a turkey dinner. The film is a perfect cup of dry cider with just the barest undertone of sweetness.
Lee Escobedo, Entertainment Weekly:
The film's standout subplot centers on Wednesday ([Christina] Ricci) and her brother Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) being forced to attend a summer camp where their gore-loving outsider ways clash with the "normie" campers.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times:
What is most beguiling about Addams Family Values is the way the relationship between Gomez and Morticia has ripened. Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston are given a lot of one-liners and payoff gags, of course, but what's funny is the stuff that comes in between - the real affection with which they embrace each other, and the way they delight in their unspeakable lifestyle.
David Sims, The Atlantic:
The Addamses are ridiculous, monstrous, and practically unkillable, yet they’re one of cinema’s most loving portrayals of a family unit. Each member is ultimately accepting of the others’ idiosyncrasies, fighting back against outside attempts to smother their collective strangeness.
