Variety

Despite inspired casting and nifty visual trappings... a major disappointment.

Time Out

Ooky the Addamses may be, subversive they ain't; it plays like a paean to the nuclear family.

The New York Times

The film's aimlessness and repetitiveness eventually become draining.

Roger Ebert

There are a lot of little smiles and many chuckles and grins, but they don't add up to much.

At times this can all become a little silly but Sonnenfeld manages to rein the film in before things get too ridiculous.
