Storyline
The Drac pack is back for an all-new monster comedy adventure in Sony Pictures Animation's Hotel Transylvania 2! Everything seems to be changing for the better at Hotel Transylvania... Dracula's rigid monster-only hotel policy has finally relaxed, opening up its doors to human guests. But behind closed coffins, Drac is worried that his adorable half-human, half-vampire grandson, Dennis, isn't showing signs of being a vampire. So while Mavis is busy visiting her human in-laws with Johnny - and in for a major cultural shock of her own - "Vampa" Drac enlists his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin to put Dennis through a "monster-in-training" boot camp. But little do they know that Drac's grumpy and very old, old, old school dad Vlad is about to pay a family visit to the hotel. And when Vlad finds out that his great-grandson is not a pure blood - and humans are now welcome at Hotel Transylvania - things are going to get batty.User Reviews
This animated movie
directed by Genndy Tartakosky is truly hilarious and left the audience
and me laughing out loud. If you didn't enjoy the original Hotel
Transylvania very much, give this sequel another try because I truly
believe this movie is much better than the original.
By far my
favorite character is Dracula (Adam Sandler), because he is such a
special character. He is so loving, forgiving and maybe just a little
crazy sometimes. This movie makes me want to have a grandfather like him
because he is so powerful and loving. A continuous joke is Dracula
trying to get used to his cell phone. His fingernails are too long to
type with so he is always frustrated with this new technology.
The
relationship between Dracula and his daughter, Mavis (Selena Gomez) is
so beautiful and memorable. With very exciting news, Mavis is pregnant!
It's a boy! The strong bond between baby Dennis and his "Vampa" (vampire
grandpa) Dracula, is my absolute favorite relationship through this
whole movie because their love is so strong even though it is hard for
Dracula to accept that his grandson is half human. Dracula is concerned
that his grandson hasn't indicated that he is going to be a vampire, so
he takes five of his hotel friends to try to scare the fangs out of
Dennis. They go on this ridiculous adventure to do whatever it takes to
get Dennis's fangs showing. Will Dennis be more like his mother who is a
vampire, or stay a human like his father?
Adam Sandler puts his
own spin on this movie. As co-writer of the screenplay, his goofy short
songs pop up throughout the movie. Not only are the song lyrics funny,
but they are also relatable and entertaining for the audience because he
takes commonly known songs such as twinkle twinkle and alters the words
to be slightly inappropriate and silly.
The special effects are
outstanding and I enjoyed all of the different things they do with the
animation. I watched this film in 3D and loved how it makes the
characters and settings pop and makes each setting special. In the scene
where Dracula leads Dennis and some other monster guests on a crazy
adventure, there are so many special effects that it becomes total
chaos.
The message of this film is that no matter how different
someone else is, they could be the best thing that ever happens to you,
so love them no matter how different they are. This film really makes me
realize how crucial to accept others.
The character Blobby, a
gelatinous blob, is definitely a crowd pleaser and the younger audiences
laughed out loud at his silly antics. The target audience for Hotel
Transylvania 2 is anyone who wants to laugh and have a good time. I
recommend this movie for ages 5 to 18 because some of the scenes might
be a little scary for some young children. I recommend seeing this movie
in 3D as well because it is a very cool experience and give it 5 out of
5 stars because this movie is truly hilarious.
