One Of The Most Amusing Comedies Of Its Year

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2013)

Brimming with surplus energy, hilarious from start to finish & a rib-tickling homage to horror classics of the past, Hotel Transylvania is an unabashedly funny, immensely enjoyable & thoroughly entertaining feature from Sony Pictures Animation which effortlessly succeeds with its primary goal of satisfying its target audience & is a good enough choice for anyone looking for a light-hearted fun ride.
The story of Hotel Transylvania concerns Count Dracula; the owner of the titular hotel which he built to raise his beloved daughter in a safe environment but the place now also serves as a vacation spot for monsters looking for a break from human civilisation. When a human inadvertently checks into the "no-human" hotel, Dracula has to keep him hidden from the guests & also protect his daughter from falling in love with the mortal.
While the narrative here isn't even close to Pixar-level stuff, Hotel Transylvania makes up for what it lacks in the storytelling department with plethora of fascinating characters who are very much alive n kicking, plus the slapstick humour is brilliantly handled throughout its runtime & offers plenty of laughs for kids n adults alike. And the animation is worthy of appreciation as well for it looks incredibly rich, detailed & gorgeously rendered.
On an overall scale, Hotel Transylvania is one of the most amusing comedies of its year that features a very simple plot that never takes itself seriously for the most part, is filled with characters that are colourful & fun to be around, nicely parodies many horror films of past n present, and is an amusing family feature that may leave few slightly disappointed in the storytelling department but purely from the entertainment perspective, it's wild, joyful & hilarious as hell. Delightfully recommended.
