What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hotel Transylvania's buoyant, giddy tone may please children, but it might be a little too loud and thinly-scripted for older audiences.

Tara Brady Irish Times The characters and story, forged by six different directors and many more writers over a six-year-production stint, leave little room for Tartakovsky tricks and tics. Rated: 2/5 Oct 13, 2012 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Comedy gothic isn't exactly novel, and frankly there is a sense here of a movie coasting along on Halloween hype-marketing, without providing as many laughs and ideas as it really could have done. Rated: 2/5 Oct 11, 2012 Full Review Tom Huddleston Time Out No one does saccharine like Adam Sandler. The man can be sharp, angry and funny - but when he lays on the sweetness, it's like drowning in an avalanche of Tate & Lyle. Rated: 2/5 Oct 11, 2012 Full Review Michael Leader Den of Geek Hotel Transylvania’s monster mash is utterly hollow. Rated: 2/5 May 3, 2024 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Hotel Transylvania isn't a brilliant animated feature, but it is a consistently entertaining one with Sandler's trademark silliness mixed with sweetness. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Cleaver Patterson CineVue The way this collection of monster misfits tackle both each other and the threat of human invasion has the right degree of wit and sophistication to amuse adults whilst being zany and slapstick enough to hold children's attention. Rated: 3/5 Feb 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Erland S It's a decent kids movie, sad to see they threw away all decent meaning with the other movies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Tiffani L Amazing best ever so cool Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review Lincoln D Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review animat seal of approval Oy hi Animat, how dare you give hotel Transylvania, the animat seal over approval you dumb guy, cough cough excuse me right now if you’re watching this, please give hotel Transylvania the animat seal of approval right now ah ah ah oh I got a to be honest with you guys before seeing it. I actually fought hotel Transylvania says that Sony pictures animation read the new millennium after the low points with surf up to 11 years later at the top by a engaging Fascinating story Beautiful animation and relaxing, and perfect characters that nothing to see at grade one this is a much watch for everyone animation fans and Sony fans what door it immediately and non-fans and some of my fans will enjoy it as well no doubt about it that it gets the animat seal of approval but it took me a lot of thinking by its rating I almost will never do something like this like ever but for a movie for this Vancouver, I think it’s time to make a milestone here just like Superman Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review K G Adam Sandler has given a take on horror story characters with this movie to prove that those sorts of monsters do have feelings. To start off, I enjoyed the casting with Adam Sandler himself as Count Dracula, Selena Gomez as Mavis, Kevin James & Fran Deuscher as the Frankenstein couple & Andy Samberg as Johnny. Speaking of Adam Sandler, his character was ever so funny, he was so moody because of his backstory which is similar to Manny from Ice Age, except he had more energy than him. Johnny was weird funny too, even with his modern COOL lifestyle & listening to LMFAO music. It just proves some monsters can be scary, but sometimes, they are actually very friendly. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Stephen C LOL, 1 hour and 31 minutes of humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG for Scary Images, Action, Some Rude Humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $167,900,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
