So much wasted potential...

Rating: 6/10 (12 May 2013)

This was among the animated movies I was most disappointed with after watching (I would rate it between the stinker "Cars" and the mediocre "ParaNorman"), and even more so due to the wasted potential.
The setting had everything necessary for a great comedy, they even had very funny moments (the lame "party" organized by Dracula, including the slowest game of Bingo I have ever seen, the mayhem caused by the werewolf cubs, Wayne's sleeplessness and of course Winnie the werewolf toddler's sniffing talents - in fact most of the good scenes involved the werewolves), but all was ruined to me by the totally out-of-place music, the unlikeable deadhead "hero" Johnny, the stomach-turning family drama (overprotective father, teenage daughter, argh!) and of course by that "bleh, bleh, bleh" running "gag".
What this movie does have - in it's favour - is a cutesy heroine (even in her bat form), some likable sidekicks (the mummy and Frankenstein's monster, e.g.), lots and lots of monsters (most of whom did not get enough screen time) and a snide joke on the "Twilight" movies.
