Summary: Enjoyable sequel
Review: Thankfully, this is the rare example where the sequel equals the original. This is a great second chapter in the new Addams Family saga. Sadly, it was not to last with the untimely death of Julia.

Joan Cusack is delightful here as is the rest of the cast. Again, a thoroughly watchable and re-watchable film with great pacing and a healthy sense of whimsy.

Summary: Weak story, and lacks the laughs of the original.
Review: That says it all. This movie lacked the charm and comedy of the original movie. It ran out of steam about two minutes into the movie. Stick with the original movie instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good sequel
Review: The Addams Family are back this time with a new member Pubert son of Gomez and Morticia.

Also a new member arrives Debbie the nanny convinces Uncle Fester to marry her promising eternal love.

But behind its apperance she is a serial killer which kills all the husbands she marry.

The kids are sent to a summer camp where Wednesday irritates the 2 camp monitors and she wants to get home.

With a better storyline than the first The Addams Family Values gets a real A+.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not At All As Funny As The Last!
Review: The movie is not a total disgrace to the Addam's Family genre (like Addam's Family Reunoin) but not at all as good as the first. The story starts out wickedly funny as Grandma Addams, Wendsday, & Pugsley bury a live cat but then drops from there. There are many laugh out loud scene's but not at all as funny & dark as the first. The story starts out when Mortisha (Angelica Houston) has a baby boy, when Wendsday & Pugsley continuously try to kill the baby, Gomez & Mortisha decide to hire a nanny.

The nanny who is played by Joan Cusack is actually a murderer called a black widow by police, she investigates rich men, seduces them, then kills them on the wedding night, and dissapears during the funeral. In coming to the Addams' she seduces Uncle Fester & sends Wendsday & Pugsley to summer camp. Some of the most funny scenes are when Mortisha is reading her baby "The Cat in the Hat" & many of the summer camp scenes. And the only part of the movie that might have bousted the rating is the tango scene.

Summary: Even more altogether ooky than the original!
Review: The other night the first "Addams Family" film was on local television, and in watching it I was reminded of how much I liked the show, and the films made from it - but as much as I loved the first, "Addams Family Values" surpasses it.

The storylines here are fuller; none of that a Fester who isn't Fester is really Fester stuff that seemed too scripted. Here, the 3 ongoing plots are more naturally-born from there characters:

Morticia and Gomez (Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia, the most perfect casting seen in film in some time) have just had a new baby. Dealing with new parenthood is bad enough, but when your two older children are doing their best to do away with their new baby brother ... well, even though he's pretty capable of taking care of himself, Morticia and Gomez have their hands full;

Then there's Debbie, played BRILLIANTLY by the underrated Joan Cusack, who comes to help with the children but instead is a notorious Black Widow-style murderess bent on marrying Fester and getting her hands on the Addams's fortune. Part of her plan in doing so is to get rid of the two older children, Pugsley and Wednesday, by sending them to a summer camp;

Pugsley and Wednesday are horrified by the cheery atmosphere at camp -- not to mention the caffeinated perkiness of the camp counselors, who are at times both revolted and ticked off by the 'weirdness' of the Addams kids.

All plotlines come together in a hilarious ending that remains true to the characters, and seems to come naturally from the story.

Christina Ricci (another of Hollywood's great underrated performers), as Wednesday Addams, again steals every scene she's in with ease -- her deadpan playing of Wednesday could not be more perfect. Watch for the segment where Wednesday and Pugsley perform their little scene from a play at camp; you'll wet your pants laughing! Joan Cusack is, again, brilliant in her portrayal of Debbie, the killer with a heart of stone.

In fact, the whole cast works perfectly together for this superior sequel, with enough one-liners and sight gags and twisted humor to keep you laughing from beginning to end. I didn't own either movie on DVD when I saw the first one on tv the other night (though had seen them both in theaters), but have since bought both ... though got this one first. So gather with your shawl on, find a roost that you can crawl on, and catch this great comedy -- a must-see for anyone in need of some good belly laughs!
