When monsters want to get away from it all, they go to Count Dracula's (Adam Sandler) Hotel Transylvania, a lavish resort where they can be themselves without humans around to bother them. On one special weekend, Dracula invites creatures like the Invisible Man, the Mummy and others to celebrate the 118th birthday of his daughter, Mavis (Selena Gomez). However, an unforeseen complication unfolds when an ordinary human unwittingly crashes the party and falls in love with Mavis.

Critics Consensus

Hotel Transylvania's buoyant, giddy tone may please children, but it might be a little too loud and thinly-scripted for older audiences.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

The characters and story, forged by six different directors and many more writers over a six-year-production stint, leave little room for Tartakovsky tricks and tics.

Rated: 2/5 •

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

Comedy gothic isn't exactly novel, and frankly there is a sense here of a movie coasting along on Halloween hype-marketing, without providing as many laughs and ideas as it really could have done.

No one does saccharine like Adam Sandler. The man can be sharp, angry and funny - but when he lays on the sweetness, it's like drowning in an avalanche of Tate & Lyle.

Hotel Transylvania isn't a brilliant animated feature, but it is a consistently entertaining one with Sandler's trademark silliness mixed with sweetness.

The way this collection of monster misfits tackle both each other and the threat of human invasion has the right degree of wit and sophistication to amuse adults whilst being zany and slapstick enough to hold children's attention.

This was my absolute favorite for a solid year. The story telling is funny, and I think their vampire accents are so goofy. I still have this movie on DVD. I think that Mavis could do a lot better than Johnny, but I'm not one to judge.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Even though Adam Sandler is the anchor of a cast that is buoyed by some stellar mainstays from television, full-screen motion pictures and animated films, Hotel Transylvania misses the mark. The attempt to turn everything monstrous onto human beings simply backfires because humans really are as despicable as these silly Transylvanian types that are posing as monsters. Sandler's schtick, most of all, is getting tired. His jokes are old, his songs are barely amusing and, by the end, he literally has nothing to say with his vampire character's "bleh bleh-bleh" utterances. It makes you appreciate the "Arrested Development" joke of Scott Baio's Bob Loblaw character. At least it has some thought behind it. Since I really do love and appreciate most of Sandler's efforts, I will give the film half a star for the attempt at recapturing lightning in a bottle with the airplane scene.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
