What critics compared The Addams Family 2 to
Considering the low-brow style of the “Hotel Transylvania” series, “The Addams Family” is a breezier alternative with enough spontaneous bursts of pint-sized hijinks to be more treat than trick.
While it pains me to say it, I kind of think every entry in Adam Sandler’s popular Hotel Transylvania series does a better job capturing the spirit of Charles Addams than these two disagreeably forgettable misfires do.
But the jokes were too safe and cozy (the movie was far less outrageous than the “Hotel Transylvania” films), and the story was thin even for a knowing piece of cobweb camp.
The inhabitants of Hotel Transylvania (itself a pretty mediocre franchise) should be eating The Addams Family’s dust but, woefully, it is quite the reverse.
You have Bill Hader as Cyrus Strange who is a decent villain but it all feels like the same movie we just saw in Hotel Transylvania with Drac and Mavis or even Tim and Tabitha in the most recent The B oss Baby 2 .
He also starred in other films like “Get Shorty,” “In The Loop'' and “All The King's Men.”
