Hotel Transylvania (2012)

Adorable Family Film

[8/10 · 8 October 2012]

The, I think, is a movie that is fun for the whole family. Youngsters will like the characters, the older children will enjoy the jokes and plot, and the adults will likely enjoy the movie as well, being able to catch on to the more "adult" funny references and a story about a father-daughter relationship that can be appreciated.

The movie is fairly fast paced, but most cartoons are, especially ones that are just 91 minutes long. If you're planning to take your 3 year old to appreciate the plot, connect with the characters, and understand the meaning of family and love... that's not happening... it is a children's movie but it's not Sesame Street.

My husband and I took our 2 1/2 year old because it seemed like a cute movie to watch. It was. Our son sat through the entire movie and danced with the music, etc. We enjoyed it as well.

Was it EXTRAORDINARY? No. Was it a good, fun family film? Yes.

I would recommend it. If you're unsure about paying for a ticket at the theater, you can always wait for the DVD to come out.

Hilarious

[10/10 · 8 October 2012]

This movie was the funniest cartoon movie I had seen in years! Not only did it have a good plot, but the jokes (however, cheesy) were funny and made me laugh out loud. Younger children may not understand some of the adult humor (nothing inappropriate) throughout the movie, but they'll enjoy the characters and animation.

I typically either love or hate Will Ferrell movies and this one I absolutely loved. It was Will Ferrell's humor at it's finest, and on a family friendly level.

The plot was interesting because it wasn't a typical superhero movie, so the plot didn't follow the same pattern as most of the "hero" cartoons out there. It also sends a positive message. One of my favorite cartoons of all time.

Hysterical

[9/10 · 8 October 2012]

This movie is hysterical. It's supposed to be a comedy, people! A COMEDY! It's funny. If you're easily offended, don't watch it. I'm European, my husband is Hispanic, our best friends are Lebanese and we all absolutely love the movie. It may help to know that we all have a dry sense of humor as well.

It's about as "racist" as any other comedy movie about any other race, religion, etc. (did the previews not give any of this away?)If you're conservative you probably don't watch movies in that genre anyway... this one is also probably not for you. If you can take a joke and aren't closed-minded it's a really funny movie. Otherwise, you may want to skip on it and watch something else. Just don't read about it, dislike the subject, watch it, then get your panties in a bunch.
