I enjoyed my stay at 'Hotel Transylvania'

Rating: 6/10 (20 September 2013)

Though it lacks its subtle (and sometimes subversive) sophistication, 'Hotel Transylvania' is definitely in the spirit of the old Rankin/Bass classic 'Mad Monster Party?'. The Adam Sandler players are all here, and they all appear to be having a good time, which seems to be the movie's sole purpose (as it refreshingly lacks the heavy handed messages so often employed in these kinds of films). It's not really all that funny, but it is high energy fun that never slows down, and a perfect Halloween movie for kids and pre-teens that adults can enjoy (or at least tolerate), too. If you're looking for good clean fun, you can do worse than to check into 'Hotel Transylvania'.
