The animated world of Hotel Transylvania is a nice place to visit, but it sure would be exhausting to live there.
As directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack), these family-friendly comedies offer a manic alternative to the relatively grounded, emotional storytelling of Pixar. His world of monsters is completely elastic, prone to wild gesticulations, explosive sight gags and childish outbursts. Everything they do is huge, even though their stories are usually the thinnest possible excuse to get them out of the house… or, you know, the hotel.
Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation once again stars Adam Sandler as Count Dracula, a vampire who runs a lavish getaway for monsters, so they can escape their constant persecution by humanity. In the first film, Dracula had to come to terms with his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) falling in love with a human, Johnny (Andy Samberg). It was just enough plot to justify a fast-paced and hilarious tour of the hotel and introduce us to its many wacky residents, including a long-suffering family of werewolves and a cheerful, but incredibly pyrophoric Frankenstein monster.
The jokes are funnier than ever, but with each successive Hotel Transylvania the audience is expected to be more invested with these characters, and the many artificial aspects of their world have simply become a distraction.
