In fact, it serves pretty much the same purpose of the first film, as it presents the exact same message of looking past a person's outward appearance. 'Hotel Transylvania 2' isn't all that different from its predecessor. Still, it did at least have a message about being accepting of one another and, more importantly to Sony Pictures, was a financial success. Review: I wasn't particularly enamored with 'Hotel Transylvania' because it felt like a monster movie made by people who didn't really care for monster movies. Convinced his daughter, Mavis, will move away to live with her human in-laws, Dracula enlists the help of his friends to bring out the monster in the child.
Synopsis: Dracula's grandson is nearing this fifth birthday and shows no signs of being a vampire. SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) - 'Hotel Transylvania 2' 3 out of 5 Stars Director: Genndy Tartakovsky Starring: Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez Genre: Animation, Family, Comedy Rated: PG for some scary images, action and rude humor Recommended to: Those looking for a fairly generic monster mashup aimed at appeasing children.
