    The crazy adventure of The Addams Family
    Returning to the beloved Addams Family, we now see them on a journey to keep the family closer together while escaping the possibility that Wednesday is not Morticia and Gomez's biological daughter. This film maintains the humorous tone of its predecessor, but takes the characters on a wilder and wilder ride, to the point that the film becomes a complete parody of The Addams Family. Even seeing the Addamses in a situation that leads them to clash with a scientist makes this perhaps the most insane installment in the franchise. The film is colorful and enjoyable as the previous one in visual aspect, but in terms of the story, it must be admitted that it does fall a bit short compared to the first film. Even so, it's not really a bad movie as some have said. My final rating for this movie is 8/10.

    Highly disappointed
    If I could give this movie zero stars, I would. The one good thing is that I was watching it with my little brother. The plot is lacking, and it has a horrible message. While the first movie is bout how families come in all shapes and sizes, this movie was the opposite. It implies that being adopted is bad, which is bad in the first place, but absolutely HORRIBLE when you are adopted yourself and have been struggling with feeling like you belong your whole life, only recently gaining that sense of family. The movie is a question of "is this my real family." She leaves but comes back after finding out that the person she thought was her biological father wasn't, and goes back with the Addams. Not because they're her family, but because they aren't evil people trying to kill her. The story comes to a closure after she realizes that they are, in fact, her real family. It was extremely disappointing, and I wish the people who created the movie thought about the people who may be affected by this. Go waste your brain cells on something different. At least Larva doesn't make you feel bad about yourself.

    Oh my God, just stop.
    I can't begin to describe how pathetic and boring this movie is.

    The Addams Family 2 is based off of the first animated Addams Family movie from 2019, I made a review on the first movie saying that it wasn't that special but I praised it for it's dark humor and subtle references in the original. But THIS? No, there's no humor at all.

    Let's go over the plot first, shall we? So, the movie starts off with Wednesday at a science fair where she is using Uncle Fester for experimentation on the DNA of a squid. Then there's Megamind-looking science guy there who announces the winners and one of those "everyone wins" moments. Gomez worries that Pugsley and Wednesday are drifting apart from him and Morticia, so he decides to take them on a family vacation. Now this ladies and gentleman is where the cliche vacation part comes in. They're also being pursued by a lawyer who thinks that Wednesday was probably switched at birth and wants to coax out a paternity test. There's also a side-plot where Pugsley is wanting to pick up girls when he looks like he is eleven years old, which they basically drag you by your ear into street with it the until movie is over. There's also this gag that goes on where Uncle Fester is turning into a squid because that science experiment Wednesday did on him at the science fair which is also painfully unfunny and cringe-worthy. *Insert qUiRkY family wackiness here*. Wednesday finds out she might've switched at birth and eventually leaves her family for no reason really, and they decide to let Lurch tag along with her? The villain turns out to be the science fair dude, family goes to find her but they're turned away, Pugsley falls in love with a genetically mutated human pig (yes, I don't understand it either), they fight Megamind and he's dead and blah blah blah.

    I'm gonna start with the pros, they actually improved the background characters in this one. Cousin Itt has more screen time for this one for once (and is only the good character in these movies). The villain is better than Margaux Needler in the first one and unsurprisingly is just not here in this sequel, even though she ended up with Uncle Fester at the end of the first movie. The voice actor for Gilbert Huph (the boss from The Incredibles) plays as the lawyer and I kind of enjoyed him after I found out who the voice actor was.

    Now, the CONS. The issue I have with it is that it's weird but not in a Addams Family type way and that the humor is dull and boring. They also take up full entire dance sequences, in an ADDAMS FAMILY MOVIE! There was also mixed reviews for the song's soundtrack but with me I generally hated it, just pop song trash once again. There's also just signs that they were making this less dark than the first one, and they also removed Wednesday's noose pigtails for some reason? There's also some points in this film to when Wednesday is torturing Pugsley to the point he is calling for his mother to help him, it's that part that confuses me there are so many scenes here that aren't very Addams Family, these are scenes that would be in any run-of-the-mill family vacation film.

    The film grossed over $119 million and received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized the humor and story. Which is generally what this movie deserves, calling this a movie is insult to anyone because, looking at this now makes me realize how slightly better the first one was..... These directors had their shot now drop it give it to someone else, Addams Family isn't for you.
