Hotel Transylvania

Ratings: 7.5/10
Film Class: A
Genre: Comedy (Animation)

Dracula is an overprotective dad who opens a hotel for monsters where he keeps his precious daughter and travelling monsters safe from the human world. Yup, it's a twisted world, where monsters are afraid of humans instead of the other way around. 

He has invited the monsters over to celebrate his precious daughter's birthday, but things took a turn when a human explorer discovers the hotel. Is this boy explorer as scary as what the monsters think humans to be? Or is he the link for the understanding between humans and monsters? 

I didn't like the boy's character, he was too obnoxious and there wasn't anything likable about him. Wished the director/scriptwriters had created a more mild-mannered, less over-the-top character instead of this one. On the other hand, love the monsters, especially Dracula. He's funnily irritating, and even though he's a monster, he's more human than human, and there's this sensitive side of him that allows the audience to instantly connect with his character. 

Fun-filled family film for everyone! See the cute and funny sides of our favourite (or feared) monsters in a totally different light!
