Like 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. Richard Schickel,TIME Magazine

It remains perilously slim in the story department, but glides over the thin ice with technical razzle-dazzle and an exceptionally winning cast. Leonard Klady,Variety
The 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. Jonathan Rosenbaum,Chicago Reader

A few sparkling performances and funny moments save this from being a complete waste of time, but it's not a promising way to start the Thanksgiving/Christmas movie season. James Berardinelli,ReelViews
Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston are given a lot of one-liners and payoff gags, of course, but what's funny is the stuff that comes in between -- the real affection with which they embrace each other, and the way they delight in their unspeakable lifestyle. Roger Ebert,Chicago Sun-Times
