Hotel Transylvania

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.

Hotel Transylvania | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 Hotel Transylvania | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 Hotel Transylvania | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 Hotel Transylvania | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Michael Leader Den of Geek Hotel Transylvania’s monster mash is utterly hollow. Rated: 2/5 May 3, 2024 Full Review Hotel Transylvania | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 Hotel Transylvania | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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
