Critics Consensus

Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation delivers exactly what fans will expect - which means another 97 agreeably lightweight minutes of fast-paced gags and colorful animation.

Tepid, though not entirely charmless...

Rated: 2/5

Irish Times

Even watched beside various incarnations of the Addams and the Munsters, this remains the most family-friendly and proudly silly of all the monster dynasties.

Rated: 3/5

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Hotel Translyvania 3 looks very much a B-movie, with characters that are easy to like but hard to love. Still, at just 97 minutes it doesn't outstay its welcome.

Rated: 3/5

For all the music that Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation offers, it amounts to a one-note production.

...though there's no sunshine in the movie, Hotel Transylvania 3 definitely has a summer vibe. And watching these characters try to navigate the naturally corny nature of a cruise ship vacation is pretty hilarious.

I think this was another very solid addition to the franchise. Pretty funny, and a solid story. Made a few decisions I wouldn't have, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.

I absolutely love all of the Hotel Transylvania films but my most favourite has got to be Hotel Transylvania 3 A Monster Vacation. This movie is so funny I love that Dracula fall's in love with the cruise ships captain Erica and finds out that she is the great granddaughter of his monster hunter enemy Abraham Van Helsing and that she was trying to kill him but also falls in love with him and that in the end Van Helsing has a change in heart This film earns 5 stars 100%

Had me giggling nearly all the way through bar the few sad parts - Classic and adorable characters and tropes but with bucket loads of laughter amongst predictable taglines. Behind this was a profound message on loss, acceptance and love. Downsides - lots of music (even if there are quite a few catchy classics), lots of stuff happening, hyper- sexualisation and a very simplistic view of 'love' and loss - in parts- all though can be said for most movies (even family/kid movies) Also, surprised how reflective it is today i.e. depicting our relationship with tech etc and I'm wondering if this started the attempt to paint 'eastern' peoples (and accents!) in a more positive light (well even if they are painted inherently bad)..think Despicable me vibes

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
