Now that Dracula (Adam Sandler) has opened the Hotel Transylvania's doors to humans, things are changing for the better; however, Drac is secretly worried that his half-human grandson, Dennis, isn't showing his vampire side. So, while Mavis and Johnny are away, Drac enlists his friends to help him put the boy through a "monster-in-training" boot camp. But things really get batty when Drac's cantankerous, old-school dad (Mel Brooks) pays an unexpected visit.

Critics Consensus

Hotel Transylvania 2 is marginally better than the original, which may or may not be enough of a recommendation to watch 89 minutes of corny, colorfully animated gags from Adam Sandler and company.

Still, the material is a lot stronger than anything in the premise-squandering Pixels or lackluster Paul Blart sequel.

Rated: 3/5

Littered with clichs and rehashed gags, the sequel's strength rests on the impressive art and animation. The simplistic gags might just work with young audiences.

The movie's family friendly scares won't give kids any nightmares, but it won't make them laugh either.

Rated: 2.5/5

It stays on safe ground at all times trusting that what has already been successful once will be accomplished again. In exchange, it is more fun and with a more effective structure. [Full Review in Spanish]

It was a good message and I definitely found it entertaining. My 11 year old and 5 year old both were into it.

This may be my favourite out of the Hotel Transylvania franchise. It is so exciting to move onward the story of Johnny & Mavis getting married & having a child named Dennis. For the subplots, it was exciting for Mavis to explore the real world & meet the in-laws. And Dracula wanted to see Dennis be a vampire just like his ancestors. However, the jokes & meaning did get Deja vu & unoriginal with dome gross humour & never seen before Vlad finally coming across the monsters & their human relationships.

I turned off the adult in me and enjoyed this fun cartoon, though it was repetitious after the first one. Strange how Top Critics like it better but the audience likes it less than the first one.

A pretty charming sequel that makes up for its thinner plot with better snappier jokes and some fun new dynamics with the potentially fangless ginger grandchild. The celebrity cameos were fun, though I wish Mel Brooks’ vampire and bat-minions weren’t so rushed since they only appear for the last 10 minutes. Mavis kind of gets relegated to being the worried no-fun mom, but luckily this partially avoided when she gets to have some fun exploring California to bring out her inner tourist mania. Nick Offerman and Megan Mullaly also kill it as the Californian in-laws. It’s a pretty well-rounded sequel with a much more consistent level of quality compared to the first one.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
