"Hotel Transylvania" PG
A Disney starlet (Selina Gomez) princess plays Dracula's (Adam Sandler's) daughter in this oddball children's movie that borrows from all of the great monster movies of yore, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, the Invisible Man, the Mummy, and more and puts them in a hotel for monsters where in their reality they fear humans. 'Monster's Inc.; without the originality, maybe, or possibly a knock off of 'ParaNorman' and a number of other similar concepts, 'Coraline', 'Nightmare Before Christmas', 'Corpse Bride', etc. Immediately into the story there are fart jokes, because oozing zombies and men that fart are funny, which kind of kills it. Then the human shows up and is immediately disguised ast one of the Frankenstein monster's cousins, but he meets the girl and they hit it off, so then Dracula is annoyed and wants to be rid of him.It's not a bad movie and has more kinetic motion and hyper joking than ParaNorman, but ultimately it suffers from trying too had to appeal to everyone.
Review by Adam Browne
I liked it because it was a kid's movie with lots of jokes about old movies and monsters, although really I don't like to go to anything scary really or rated R. This was okay since it was a kid's movie, and Fran Drescher has a cameo. Be warned.
