this latest "Addams" iteration is mildly amusing. But there's a sugary sweetness about it that makes it seem rather more warm and fuzzy than what we normally associate with the macabre essence of all things Addams
the Addams family is built to be creepy, but when a bottomless pit offers more visual interest than a family member whose defining characteristic is a large screw through his cranium, something has gone amiss
frighteningly funny and fresh.. With a sweet story, tight runtime, and impressive animation, this is the perfect Halloween treat for film fans young and old!
Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan fail to capture the spirit that made the clan such a hit to begin with. Their take on "The Addams Family" isn't a scream, it's a painfully generic kids' film
"The Addams Family" is a wonderful gem to see with the kids during the Halloween season.. it's a comedy, and a good one at that, delivering the kind of morbid humor that reminds us why we'll always accept their invitations
"The Addams Family" has a rote plot built out of bits and pieces from a lot of other animated films; It's so busy treating its famous domesticated ghouls as icons that it forgets to rediscover what's memorable about them
