Sony
Animation’s CGI farce “Hotel Transylvania” is light on plot and heavily features
crap Auto-Tune music at the end that ought to make any sane person’s soul
flinch, but its love for all tall tales of Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy,
and Wolfman are infectious. It also helps that the film is marvelous looking,
with every corner of the screen filled with fantastical, horrifying, and
hilarious pop-art bright creatures.
The story: Count Dracula (Adam Sandler)
tries all in his power to keep his 118-year-old (teen years for a vampire) daughter
safe in his castle, away from harm. The castle doubles as a hotel, a monster’s reprieve
from the outside world of scary humans. Shocker, then, when a college-aged kid on
a backpack adventure stumbles into the place and catches the daughter’s (Selena
Gomez) eye. What’s a count to do? This is PG, so killing is moot.
The
alternatives fill up the story, which runs dry. But I was busy eyeing how characters move, bounce off each other, and fall apart in
the case of Frankenstein. B
