With help from Mavis (Selena Gomez) and the hilariously human Drac Pack, the heat is on to find a way to switch themselves back before their transformations become permanent. When Van Helsing’s (Jim Gaffigan) mysterious invention, the ‘Monsterification Ray,’ goes haywire, Drac and his monster pals are all transformed into humans, and Johnny (Andy Samberg) becomes a monster! In their new mismatched bodies, Drac, stripped of his powers, and an exuberant Johnny, loving life as a monster, must team up and race across the globe to find a cure before it’s too late, and before they drive each other crazy. Reunite with your favorite monsters for an all-new adventure that presents Drac (Brian Hull) with his most terrifying task yet. I say give this scary hotel one more shot.Drac and the Pack are back like you’ve never seen them before in Hotel Transylvania: Transformania. It’s no masterpiece but it will have the whole family laughing and that’s important. Maybe that’s a low bar but it’s a reality. You can turn it on with the kids and have some laughs while folding laundry and getting things done. Hotel Transylvania: Transformania is a good film to go to streaming. David Spade also gets some good laughs as the Invisible Man who isn’t so invisible any more! I particularly enjoy any time Fran Drescher’s Eunice gets to shine (they don’t give her enough to do in this franchise but she’s always hilarious). It’s a one-joke premise but executed with enough manic energy to be entertaining. Then Drac and the monsters get turned into humans. Drac’s son-in-law Johnny (Andy Sandburg) stumbles upon Professor Van Helsing’s (Jim Gaffigan) ‘monsterfication ray’ and turns himself into a monster. Unfortunately Brad Abrell is not as adept at taking over for Kevin James in the voice of Frankenstein.Īs far as the story it’s cute enough. It has got to be a weird thing to be Sandler and hear someone doing your voice so identically. We also have Brian Hull taking over for the voice of Drac, which honestly he does a near flawless Sandler impression. Now we have the 4th entry Hotel Transylvania: Transformania which has Genndy as only a screenwriter and Jennifer Kluska and Derek Drymon taking over as directors. The 3rd is a vacation movie with the most humor and sparkling animation. The 2nd one flirts with a bold message but then cops out at the end and the first is just ok fish out of water story. I actually enjoyed Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacationfilm the most. Of course, I wish Genndy’s more ambitious projects like Primal could get the same attention but alas Hotel Transylvania will probably be what he is most remembered for. Since 2012 the Hotel Transylvania movies have been pleasant, well animated romps with Sandler in the lead as Dracula and directed by the visionary Genndy Tartakovsky. Movies like The Ridiculous 6, Little Nicky, and That’s My Boy should barely be referred to as films.įortunately there has been one bright spot in Sandler’s career. I actually don’t mind him when he works on other people’s projects ( Spanglish, Punch Drunk Love, etc) however most of his Happy Madison produced films I’ve loathed. Most people who read my reviews know I am not the biggest fan of Adam Sandler’s comedies.
