"Hotel Transylvania" review by Chris

For years Dracula has been feared and hunted. To protect his daughter, Mavis, from these horrors, he built a hotel for monsters to seek refuge, but as Mavis gets older this isn't enough for her. All seems well until a human stumbles into the castle. Now Dracula must fight to keep him a secret or lose "Hotel Transylvania" and his daughter forever.

And that's about all you need to know. The plot is heartwarming but predictable; the characters are fun and the script light hearted. All the voice actors deliver and the animation is pretty. There aren't any major bumps or snags that stop this from being an enjoyable film for all ages, there just isn't anything special about it either. A couple of the jokes stand out and there's a strong "learn to let go" moral for parents, but this is a film obviously directed towards children and they will enjoy it.

If you have any interest in the classic monsters or are just looking to have a good time with your kids, you should check this film out, just don't expect to be blown away.
