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...

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.

Tristram Fane Saunders

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.

*Hotel Transylvania 3* is a fun, light-hearted family film that manages to entertain despite a simple premise. The talented voice cast, led by Adam Sandler, brings the characters to life, and the animation is as vibrant and colorful as ever. While there are many subplots, they’re all pretty amusing and keep the pace lively with plenty of humor for both kids and adults. I love this franchise, and the comedy in this installment doesn’t disappoint. That said, the final act feels a bit sloppy and predictable. It lacks the punch needed to truly captivate, and I found myself losing interest as it wrapped up. Still, it’s hard to fault *Hotel Transylvania 3* too much when it’s just so entertaining overall. It may not be the best in the series, but it’s a solid entry that delivers plenty of laughs and fun for the whole family.
