Members of the mysterious and spooky Addams Family -- Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Uncle Fester and Grandma -- are readily preparing for a visit from their even creepier relatives. But trouble soon arises when shady TV personality Margaux Needler realizes that the Addams' eerie hilltop mansion is standing in the way of her dream to sell all the houses in the neighborhood.

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.

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.

2.5/5

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.

2/5

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.

How do you start well, end well and then everything in the middle is just a drag?

'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.

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!
