Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's lavish
five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free from
meddling from the human world. But here's a little known fact about Dracula: he
is not only the Prince of Darkness; he is also a dad. Over-protective of his
teenage daughter, Mavis, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to
dissuade her adventurous spirit. As a haven for Mavis, he opens the Hotel
Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world's most famous monsters,
Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of
werewolves, and more, can kick back in safety and peace. For Drac, catering to
all of these legendary monsters is no problem - but his world could come
crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to
Mavis.
This was a simple, fun kids movie that the adults can enjoy
as well. It wasn't a bunch of stupid toilet humor because of the Adam Sandler
factor. It was funny more because of the incorporating of all the "monsters"
that we have come to know through numerous forms of presentation. Dracula
bugging out when he got mad for a couple of seconds didn't get old, the Wolfman
stuff was really funny and the zombie's throughout it all were great. The story
was cute and the run time was perfectly short.
I would definitely
recommend people checking this out - especially those of you with kids.
Hopefully this movie marks the end of the black hold of movie going that the
first 2/3 of September represent and there will be more worthwhile stuff for the
families like this to go check out.
