Film Review – Hotel Transylvania

There’s a polar opposite difference between the gloriously elastic
animation of “Hotel Transylvania” and its wretched screenplay, and it’s a
heartbreaker to see such a wonderful premise torpedoed by a lack of
storytelling consideration. A rare foray into spooky business for family

his low-brow sense of humor to this monster mash, endeavoring to appease
adults with a moldy tale of father-daughter strife, while he looks to
tickle kids with bodily function humor. Although it’s a shame that
“Hotel Transylvania” is so persistently crude, true disappointment
emerges from the exceptional cartoon craftsmanship of the movie, which
is wasted on ghastly writing. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
