Reviews
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times:
The movie, based on characters created by [Charles] Addams in his immortal New Yorker cartoons, and on the early 1960s TV series, looks uncannily like the original Addams drawings.
Daryl Sparkles, The Conversation:
[Gomez] is definitely a Renaissance man: just as skilled with a rapier sword as he is with a golf club, his dance moves are unparalleled. The late Raul Julia plays [him] to perfection.
Angie Errigo, Empire:
Magnificent Anjelica Huston might have been born for Addams' Morticia. She's like a long drink of contaminated water.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post:
Eleven-year-old [Christina] Ricci is a revelation as the morbidly fascinating Wednesday. The kid was born deadpan.
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle:
With her toy guillotine and collection of (naturally) headless dolls, she is the youthful heart of this strangely endearing brood.
