too dark for kids, too dumb for adults, the animated sequel relies on puns and pop-culture references to enliven its tired plot; this is a movie the whole family can skip altogether
this serviceable animated sequel focuses on Wednesday's feelings of alienation and benefits from the family's kid-friendly jokes and road trip adventures; it takes enough zany twists and turns to amuse younger viewers
the superfluous sequel is neither creepy, kooky, mysterious or spooky; 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
the sequel is far too unfocused and much of the film's message gets muddled by various jokes or non sequiturs; Addams Family 2 is a shallow continuation that spends too much time on unconnected hijinks resulting in an uneven sequel with much less heart
the cast are blameless, but this sequel is bland and defies logic; "The Addams Family 2", is mostly bland and, though it contains endless references to scientific acumen, flouts logic at every turn
somehow worse than the forgettable first, "The Addams Family 2" is every generic school holiday film crammed into really unappealing packaging; it's ifeless and flat, doing a disservice to the family name and the talent who voice them
as charmless as its predecessor, The Addams Family 2 is without an iota of ooky, nor any shred of kooky. Really, it's just kind of ghastly – and not in the intended way
a predictable and bland sequel; maybe its creators think that younger audiences are less astute viewers, but there's something about this sequel that just isn't working
"The Addams Family 2" allowed me a couple of nostalgic chuckles, while the kids were entertained by the antics; There are some attempts to inject humour for adults along the way, but those jokes were so banal as to be quickly forgotten
