| 174002 | Zoë Rose Bryant | Next Best Picture | Rotten | 4/10 | 2022-07-14T09:25:02Z | 2022-07-14 09:25:02 | The Addams Family 2 feels more like a commercial product churned out with minimal effort instead of a truly satisfying sequel to its passable but still promising predecessor. |
| 174003 | Victoria Luxford | City AM | Rotten | 2/5 | 2022-03-03T14:38:49Z | 2022-03-03 14:38:49 | The film simply tears across the country looking for a reason to be. Too often, its just a bunch of things happening at once without really moving the plot forward. |
| 174004 | Mat Brunet | AniMat's Review (YouTube) | Rotten | 4/10 | 2022-02-16T00:48:45Z | 2022-02-16 00:48:45 | The Addams Family 2 repeats what the first movie accomplished by taking the popular family and turning them into one of the most boringly generic kids films in recent years. |
| 174005 | Allison Rose | FlickDirect | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2022-01-18T20:21:02Z | 2022-01-18 20:21:02 | Isaac is the perfect Latin lover, Gomez, while Theron has a deep and sensual voice, and exudes confidence, traits which are needed to portray Morticia. |
| 174006 | David Stratton | The Australian | Fresh | 2.5/5 | 2022-01-08T01:40:49Z | 2022-01-08 01:40:49 | There are references to pop culture landmarks (Jaws, Easy Rider) but the screenplay, the work of four writers, lacks sparkle and a little of it goes a long way. |
| 174007 | Graeme Tuckett | The Post NZ | Rotten | 2/5 | 2022-01-07T23:20:49Z | 2022-01-07 23:20:49 | The Addams Family 2 is a smug and self-satisfied film - a Carrie reference. Really? - but for absolutely no discernible reason. |
| 174008 | Dave Lee | Dave Lee Down Under | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2022-01-07T11:40:07Z | 2022-01-07 11:40:07 | While it does have the audiences best interest at heart, but unfortunatley it falls apart by taking the characters too far away from their roots. |
| 174009 | Peter Gray | The AU Review | Rotten | 2/5 | 2022-01-07T07:00:12Z | 2022-01-07 07:00:12 | The Addams Family 2 does little to honour Charles Addams' original work in any of the manners we've seen prior. |
| 174010 | Sandra Hall | Sydney Morning Herald | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2022-01-06T20:11:06Z | 2022-01-06 20:11:06 | Nothing can change the fact that it's yet another example of Hollywood cannibalising its own in its eagerness to keep up the flow of franchises on which the studios rely these days for their sustenance. |
| 174011 | Kevin Harley | Radio Times | Rotten | 2/5 | 2022-01-06T15:50:28Z | 2022-01-06 15:50:28 | While Moretz performs with deadpan relish, the creaking script gives her little funny to say, and satirical jabs at mainstream America proffer little more than jokes about tourists taking selfies. |
| 174012 | Jeanmarie Tan | The New Paper (Singapore) | Rotten | 2/5 | 2021-11-12T01:10:34Z | 2021-11-12 01:10:34 | Frankly, this is quite a torture to sit through - and not in the intended Addams kind of way. |
| 174013 | Tim Brayton | Alternate Ending | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2021-10-29T05:20:20Z | 2021-10-29 05:20:20 | Some of this isn't terrible, but it has the misfortune for the jokes to get increasingly anodyne and detached from both the plot and the characters as it goes forward. |
| 174014 | Sean P. Means | The Movie Cricket | Fresh | 3/4 | 2021-10-29T04:30:21Z | 2021-10-29 04:30:21 | Maybe movies about the ghoulish Addams Family work like the old "Star Trek" franchise, where the even-numbered ones were the good ones. |
| 174015 | Louisa Moore | Screen Zealots | Rotten | — | 2021-10-22T10:10:07Z | 2021-10-22 10:10:07 | The story isn't wholly terrible and the voice talent is acceptable, but the low-brow toilet humor and mindless filler makes this one feel like another manufactured babysitter from the animation factory. |
| 174016 | Mark Kermode | Kermode & Mayo's Film Review | Rotten | — | 2021-10-20T21:10:34Z | 2021-10-20 21:10:34 | I had to go back to my notes to remind myself what even happened in the film. The answer is not much. |
| 174017 | Mark McPherson | Film Inquiry | Fresh | — | 2021-10-16T04:50:11Z | 2021-10-16 04:50:11 | It's a little more kooky and spooky but still not altogether ooky as a sequel more bearable than funny. |
| 174018 | Dann Gire | Chicago Daily Herald | Rotten | 1.5/4 | 2021-10-15T22:21:11Z | 2021-10-15 22:21:11 | Creator Charles Addams wouldn't just spin in his grave after seeing the cinematic abomination, he'd rise from it and give the filmmakers plenty of scary material to use... |
| 174019 | Michael Medved | The Michael Medved Show | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2021-10-15T19:41:09Z | 2021-10-15 19:41:09 | The animation is witty, if not quite wonderful... It's not a classic, but better than the 2019 film. |
| 174020 | Aine O'Connor | Sunday Independent (Ireland) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2021-10-15T19:21:03Z | 2021-10-15 19:21:03 | It's not a classic, but it is fun. |
| 174021 | Sandie Angulo Chen | Common Sense Media | Fresh | 3/5 | 2021-10-15T18:40:41Z | 2021-10-15 18:40:41 | This serviceable animated sequel focuses on Wednesday's feelings of alienation and benefits from the family's kid-friendly jokes and road trip adventures. |
| 174022 | Kate Sánchez | But Why Tho? | Fresh | — | 2021-10-15T18:20:44Z | 2021-10-15 18:20:44 | 6.5 Overall, [The Addams Family 2] is not the perfect Addams Family film, but it does capture the heart and nostalgia of the ones that came before it. |
| 174023 | Aldo Javier Martínez | Cine Premiere | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2021-10-15T17:50:31Z | 2021-10-15 17:50:31 | The film manages to find a suitable balance. [Full review in Spanish] |

| 174025 | Sara Michelle Fetters | MovieFreak.com | Rotten | 1/4 | 2021-10-13T20:20:40Z | 2021-10-13 20:20:40 | I did not like The Addams Family 2. I did not like it at all. And that's all I have to say on the matter. |
| 174026 | Clarisse Loughrey | Independent (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2021-10-13T15:30:24Z | 2021-10-13 15:30:24 | It may be a heavily commercialised, diet-goth take on Charles Addams's single-panel cartoons, first published in The New Yorker in 1938, but it's stayed faithful where it matters most. |
| 174027 | Jo Berry | Movies4Kids | Fresh | 3/5 | 2021-10-12T12:40:22Z | 2021-10-12 12:40:22 | With Wednesday - the Addams Family's most interesting character - getting centre stage, this is a fun improvement on the 2019 movie. |
| 174028 | Pablo O. Scholz | Clarín | Fresh | — | 2021-10-11T18:30:23Z | 2021-10-11 18:30:23 | There are some good gags. [Full review in Spanish] |

Nor does it fulfill my expectations regarding how creepy, kooky and mysterious it should be. |
| 174031 | Matthew Bond | The Mail on Sunday (UK) | Rotten | 2/5 | 2021-10-10T14:10:10Z | 2021-10-10 14:10:10 | As wretchedly unfunny as the 2019 original. |
| 174032 | Wendy Ide | Observer (UK) | Rotten | 1/5 | 2021-10-10T14:00:12Z | 2021-10-10 14:00:12 | A singularly unattractive animation style, jokes as flat as roadkill and a score that could be used as an instrument of torture are just some of the problems with the latest attempt to squeeze yet more blood from the Addams Family mausoleum. |
| 174033 | Paul McGuire Grimes | KSTP-TV (St. Paul, MN) | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2021-10-08T22:51:20Z | 2021-10-08 22:51:20 | The characters created by Charles Addams continue to intrigue audiences and remind us that being different should be celebrated. Wednesday is going through an identity crisis in this one and being different is the most Addamsy thing there is. |
| 174034 | Paul Whitington | Irish Independent | Fresh | 3/5 | 2021-10-08T20:21:29Z | 2021-10-08 20:21:29 | The Addams Family 2 is a distinct improvement on its predecessor then, but one would like to see a little more fizz in Gomez and Morticia's relationship. |
| 174035 | Emily Breen | HeyUGuys | Rotten | 2/5 | 2021-10-08T11:10:18Z | 2021-10-08 11:10:18 | Lifeless and flat, doing a disservice to the family name and the talent who voice them. WIthout glamour, wit or a hint of a soul. A void. Avoid. |
| 174036 | Dulcie Pearce | The Sun (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2021-10-08T11:00:20Z | 2021-10-08 11:00:20 | A fine hour-and- half of your life... |
| 174038 | Brian Viner | Daily Mail (UK) | Rotten | 2/5 | 2021-10-08T10:50:21Z | 2021-10-08 10:50:21 | All this is lazily plotted and not nearly funny or indeed creepy enough. It's surely time to let the Addamses rest in peace. |
| 174037 | Charlotte O'Sullivan | London Evening Standard | Rotten | 2/5 | 2021-10-08T10:50:21Z | 2021-10-08 10:50:21 | Mostly bland and, though it contains endless references to scientific acumen, flouts logic at every turn. |
| 174039 | Cath Clarke | Guardian | Rotten | 2/5 | 2021-10-08T10:20:06Z | 2021-10-08 10:20:06 | Really, it's just kind of ghastly - and not in the intended way. |

| 174041 | Alan Corr | RTÉ (Ireland) | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2021-10-07T22:30:47Z | 2021-10-07 22:30:47 | It's fast-moving, zippy fun but this Addams Family doesn't quite click, click. |
| 174042 | Ian Freer | Empire Magazine | Rotten | 2/5 | 2021-10-07T16:30:49Z | 2021-10-07 16:30:49 | Ironically, given the mantra for its main characters is about embracing the weird, The Addams Family 2 does little that is out-there or different, delivering a safe, stale 93 minutes. |
| 174043 | Robbie Collin | Daily Telegraph (UK) | Rotten | 1/5 | 2021-10-07T15:20:30Z | 2021-10-07 15:20:30 | Even more so than its already largely forgotten predecessor, released in 2019, this trial-by-CG finds the premise running on the wispiest of fumes. |
| 174044 | Randy Myers | San Jose Mercury News | Rotten | 1.5/4 | 2021-10-06T19:00:52Z | 2021-10-06 19:00:52 | Kids and parents deserve better than this. |

| 174046 | Alci Rengifo | Entertainment Voice | Fresh | — | 2021-10-05T18:50:30Z | 2021-10-05 18:50:30 | One reason this movie still works a little better than it should is because the voice cast all sound like they're having a great time. |
| 174047 | Hau Chu | Washington Post | Rotten | 1.5/4 | 2021-10-05T12:20:06Z | 2021-10-05 12:20:06 | They're weirdos. Why, then, is "The Addams Family 2" so . . . meh? |
| 174048 | Christy Lemire | FilmWeek (LAist) | Rotten | — | 2021-10-04T23:40:31Z | 2021-10-04 23:40:31 | I'm not really sure why it exists at all... It kind of lurches (no pun intended) from one wacky scenario into the next. |
| 174049 | Charles Solomon | FilmWeek (LAist) | Rotten | — | 2021-10-04T23:40:30Z | 2021-10-04 23:40:30 | It's not funny and not fun... The film is pretty grim. |
| 174051 | Jesse Hassenger | Polygon | Rotten | — | 2021-10-04T21:40:30Z | 2021-10-04 21:40:30 | Addams Family 2 exposes just how clunky and wrongheaded its take on Wednesday is - and what the animated movies get wrong about the family in general. |
| 174050 | John Serba | Decider | Rotten | — | 2021-10-04T21:40:30Z | 2021-10-04 21:40:30 | For the life of me, I don't know why so much craft and artistry can be brandished at the mercy of such ramshackle writing. |
| 174052 | Lisa Laman | The Spool | Rotten | — | 2021-10-04T19:00:40Z | 2021-10-04 19:00:40 | Seemingly cognizant of how much the jokes aren't working, The Addams Family 2 packs its runtime with pop culture references that have no other purpose than to remind adults of old familiar things. |
| 174053 | Leo Brady | AMovieGuy.com | Rotten | 1/4 | 2021-10-04T17:50:27Z | 2021-10-04 17:50:27 | With an all-star cast of actors returning to voice the ghoulish gang of characters, it's not that I'm out of touch with an animated movie, or that I'm not a fan of The Addams Family, it's that this romp with Gomez, Morticia, and the rest is not much fun. |

The jokes are pretty lame, even for little ones. Instead of a family road trip which didn't provide much fun, they might have been better off staying home. |
| 174055 | Richard James Havis | South China Morning Post | Rotten | 2/5 | 2021-10-04T14:10:07Z | 2021-10-04 14:10:07 | The humour is lame, and the spooky bunch are mere shadows of their former selves. |

| 174064 | James Berardinelli | ReelViews | Rotten | 2/4 | 2021-10-02T13:40:06Z | 2021-10-02 13:40:06 | It's something to watch featuring familiar characters. Expectations of anything more are misplaced where this franchise is concerned. |

It wasn't entirely a snooze, but I can't say it was particularly memorable for either of us. |
| 174066 | Todd Jorgenson | Cinemalogue | Rotten | — | 2021-10-02T01:10:59Z | 2021-10-02 01:10:59 | Despite some intermittent deadpan amusement and crisp animation, the material lacks the freshness of the original, and can't approach the cleverness of its source material. |
| 174067 | Matt Fowler | IGN Movies | Rotten | 4/10 | 2021-10-02T00:50:57Z | 2021-10-02 00:50:57 | It's a bizarre and overly rambunctious ride that forsakes cleverness for Billboard acts and dizzying set pieces. |
| 174068 | Brian Lowry | CNN.com | Fresh | — | 2021-10-02T00:30:53Z | 2021-10-02 00:30:53 | For now, though, this animated sequel plucks enough of the right buttons to qualify as a reasonable addition to family movie time -- meaning poor Wednesday might need to brace herself for another family excursion in the not-so-distant future. |

| 174071 | Patrick McDonald | WBGR-FM (93.7 FM - Monroe, WI) | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2021-10-01T23:20:44Z | 2021-10-01 23:20:44 | This isn't as good as the first one, but still has the strange, surreal & sick comedy that the Addams deliver with grandiose virtuosity. Creepy, Kooky, altogether you know ... |
| 174072 | Katie Walsh | Los Angeles Times | Rotten | — | 2021-10-01T23:10:51Z | 2021-10-01 23:10:51 | The whole endeavor, unfortunately, delivers diminishing returns. |

| 174074 | Kaitlyn Booth | Bleeding Cool | Rotten | 3.5/10 | 2021-10-01T21:31:11Z | 2021-10-01 21:31:11 | The Addams Family 2 once again wastes its specular cast and great animation style on an extremely conventional story that doesn't feel like the best use of the Addams Family. |
| 174075 | Courtney Lanning | Arkansas Democrat-Gazette | Rotten | 74/100 | 2021-10-01T21:21:08Z | 2021-10-01 21:21:08 | Perhaps the film's biggest sin is it found a great ensemble cast that fit these characters and gave the family a fitting, updated art style, then wasted it all by giving these beloved icons nothing to do. |
| 174077 | Al Alexander | The Patriot Ledger | Rotten | C- | 2021-10-01T20:51:03Z | 2021-10-01 20:51:03 | Even at a compact 92 minutes, The Addams Family 2 overstays its welcome, largely because of time wasted on blah characters. |
| 174076 | Neely Swanson | Easy Reader (California) | Rotten | — | 2021-10-01T20:51:03Z | 2021-10-01 20:51:03 | I'm looking for a fun cohesive story, credible or not, and great production values. The Addams Family 2 fails on all counts. |
| 174078 | M.V. Moorhead | Less Hat, Moorhead | Fresh | — | 2021-10-01T20:40:49Z | 2021-10-01 20:40:49 | It's an above-average CGI production, with plenty of slapstick chases, fine voice acting and a standard emotional template. |
| 174081 | Meagan Navarro | Bloody Disgusting | Rotten | 2/5 | 2021-10-01T20:20:55Z | 2021-10-01 20:20:55 | It's manic, rhythmic comedy on hyperdrive, with its jokes aimed squarely at the very young. If you wound a child up on as much sugar as possible before letting them loose, you'd have The Addams Family 2. |
| 174080 | Tony Sokol | Den of Geek | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2021-10-01T20:20:55Z | 2021-10-01 20:20:55 | Charles Addams should demand a DNA test. |

| 174082 | Nate Adams | The Only Critic | Fresh | B- | 2021-10-01T20:10:56Z | 2021-10-01 20:10:56 | The quirky, kiddo friendly animated sequel "The Addams Family 2" offers more of the same harmless macabre humor that came before. |
| 174083 | Molly Freeman | Screen Rant | Rotten | 1/5 | 2021-10-01T19:40:54Z | 2021-10-01 19:40:54 | The Addams Family 2 is a shallow continuation that spends too much time on unconnected hijinks resulting in an uneven sequel with much less heart. |
| 174084 | Fred Topel | Showbiz Cheat Sheet | Fresh | — | 2021-10-01T18:30:48Z | 2021-10-01 18:30:48 | Not that The Addams Family 2 is as profound as Addams Family Values. The animated sequel does involve family values, though, and does build upon what the first animated movie established. |
| 174085 | Julian Lytle | idobi.com | Fresh | C+ | 2021-10-01T18:10:45Z | 2021-10-01 18:10:45 | The Addams Family 2 is a good animated film that doesn't crack the great category but is still worth the time to watch-especially on streaming. |
| 174087 | Larry Carroll | Looper.com | Rotten | — | 2021-10-01T17:00:38Z | 2021-10-01 17:00:38 | The first film was a mediocre, mildly amusing time-passer, coasting by on our familiarity with the characters - and the sequel is more of the same. |
| 174086 | Andrea Chase | Killer Movie Reviews | Rotten | 1/5 | 2021-10-01T17:00:38Z | 2021-10-01 17:00:38 | Why use characters that are the definition of mordant in a film with no bite? Was My Little Pony not available? |
| 174088 | Nell Minow | RogerEbert.com | Fresh | 3/4 | 2021-10-01T17:00:32Z | 2021-10-01 17:00:32 | The new film has a better understanding of how to make the most of what has made these characters so enduringly popular. |
| 174089 | Chris Knight | National Post | Rotten | 1/5 | 2021-10-01T16:30:35Z | 2021-10-01 16:30:35 | They're dull though animated/ Macabre but PG-rated/ And sad to say I hated/ The Addams Family! |
| 174092 | Lovia Gyarkye | The Hollywood Reporter | Rotten | — | 2021-10-01T16:30:34Z | 2021-10-01 16:30:34 | There's something about this sequel that just isn't working. |
| 174091 | Richard Roeper | Chicago Sun-Times | Rotten | 2/4 | 2021-10-01T16:30:34Z | 2021-10-01 16:30:34 | It's often too dark and grotesque and bizarre for children, but also profoundly unfunny when it tries to appeal to the grown-ups. |
| 174090 | Richard Crouse | Richard Crouse | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2021-10-01T16:30:34Z | 2021-10-01 16:30:34 | The Addams Family 2 is goofy, not ooky, with none of the eccentric charm of the 1960s TV show. |
| 174093 | Owen Gleiberman | Variety | Fresh | — | 2021-10-01T16:30:29Z | 2021-10-01 16:30:29 | The devil is in the details - or, in "The Addams Family 2," a digitally animated sequel aimed at ages six and over, in the demented ghoulish sparkle of jokes that are just macabre and kiddie witty enough to tickle you. |
| 174094 | Travis Hopson | Punch Drunk Critics | Rotten | 1/5 | 2021-10-01T16:10:25Z | 2021-10-01 16:10:25 | The creepy and kooky creations of Charles Addams may have found themselves a new torture device: subject victims to The Addams Family 2. |
| 174095 | Josh Wilding | ComicBookMovie.com | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2021-10-01T15:50:28Z | 2021-10-01 15:50:28 | The Addams Family 2 is fun for the entire family, but too often veers down familiar routes to make this road trip movie a journey you'll want to take more than once. |
| 174096 | Rendy Jones | Rendy Reviews | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2021-10-01T15:40:28Z | 2021-10-01 15:40:28 | More of the same in terms of writing quality and animation, but with minor improvements to get closer to Charles Addams's spirit - something it's still far from achieving. |

| 174099 | Matt Conway | Battle Royale With Cheese | Rotten | — | 2021-10-01T14:50:17Z | 2021-10-01 14:50:17 | While the same creative team is back, the original's playful charm feels noticeably absent. |
