Critics Consensus

The Addams Family's starry voice cast and eye-catching animation aren't enough to outweigh its saccharine handling of the delightfully dark source material.

Stephen Romei The Australian The animation is sharp, right down to Lurch's fingernails. The music is well-placed. The famous theme song pops up now and then but is not overdone. Dec 24, 2019 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au This 2019 CGI remake misses the mark in the most crucial element of what has sustained The Addams Family all this time - its offbeat, macabre vibe. If you don't get that, you're really not going to get any of it. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It's tedious but, worse, it's wasteful. The wealth of talent that has gone into its making has been frittered away in a vain attempt to pump new heart into a creation that ran out of puff long ago. Rated: 2/5 Dec 4, 2019 Full Review Preston Barta Denton Record-Chronicle 'The Addams Family' is a funny and spooky primer to Halloween that not only brings back old fans of the iconic family, but also introduces a new generation to a devilishly delightful experience. Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Mihir Fadnavis Firstpost Poor animation, simplistic storytelling and silly subplots... May 15, 2024 Full Review Denise Pieniazek Puesta en Escena (AR) Through the animation language The Addams Family, re-enacts the avatars of this peculiar family, bringing the characteristic characters closer to new generations of children, who are surely unaware of the previous versions.

Walter great movie we had fun Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/21 Full Review Edgar Great kids movie. My son ( 6 years old ) loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/20 Full Review Malcolm Great adaptation from a classic! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/20 Full Review Julie A It was a good movies and it kept the grandkids entertained. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/20 Full Review Vegas Vision This is the second time I saw this film. It is still funny - relevant - and has hidden messages about bullying, crowd mentality, and uniqueness. I seem to have gotten more laughs and realized there were deeper meanings in the whole film. Loved it - and highly recommend this delightful piece - anytime of the year!
