Top CriticOverall this is a far tighter film, from the simpler but ever delightful set design to the sharp script and economical running time.

Top CriticLike the first of the Addams chronicles, this is an essentially lazy movie, too often settling for easy gags and special effects that don't come to any really funny point.

Top CriticIt remains perilously slim in the story department, but glides over the thin ice with technical razzle-dazzle and an exceptionally winning cast.

Top CriticThe good news is that the one-liners are much funnier than the first time, mainly thanks to the increased input of screenwriter Paul Rudnick.

Top CriticThe comedy has moved into high gear and become one of the funniest, most mean-spirited satirical assaults on sunny American values since the salad days of W.C. Fields.

O tom de constante humor negro funciona ainda melhor do que no filme original.

Mr. Sonnenfeld repeats some of the first film's favorite visual stunts without wearing out their welcome, and he sustains much more exuberance than a sequel might be expected to have.
