That was an excellent one.

People are voting emotionally.

The first must-see film of the year.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

After the events from the first movie, the two love birds become a couple and have a baby boy which seems to be a human. Dracula is not happy with this aspect so he decides to create a diversion by sending the two in a vacation at his parents'. Meanwhile, with the help of his friends, he is determined to show his grandson the life and pleasures of being a monster, hoping that the little one will understand and somehow grow a pair of vampire fangs.This is, unfortunately, one of those sequels which shouldn't have existed in the first place, sparing us from the curiosity of seeing again the Hotel Transylvania universe. Simply put, the plot is simply lame, lacking any interest or complexity, being there just because it had to have one. The focus is now taken away from the two and moved towards Dracula, in his fixist attempt to prove that his grandson is actually a monster. The whole movie ends with a big battle which is meant to complete the child's race but brings a predictable conclusion which fails to bring something that will somehow rescue the movie from its mediocre state. Yes, it is funny and continues the actions from the original movie, but disappoints from every other aspect, making it a sequel you can easily skip.I honestly hope they won't make a third installment, or at least not in this manner.

My kids want me to see the new sequel (#3) when it comes out. I told them that as long as it has A) a father who can't let go of his daughter, B) an exciting last-minute chase, C) they learn a valuable, maudlin-laced lesson and D) they all sing and dance at the end, and play a pop-song over the credits (oooh, with "outtakes" as well), then SIGN ME UP!!! They can use this formula over and OVER again and it will NEVER get old.

This is one of those sequels that is whatever. It's somewhat serviceable but it's very generic, narrow and easily forgettable. They basically tried to milk the premise by dragging out a very simple story with a bunch of slapstick humor and pop culture references. Which a lot of animated sequels tends to do when they are out of ideas but needs to make a certain run time. What makes this movie watchable is the cute factor and the slightly endearing parts (although few) when dealing with the family dynamics. This time around it deals with the two lovers from the previous one getting a child. And most of it revolves around Dracula trying to figure out if his grandchild is also part vampire or not. So they go on a journey to try and bring out the vampire in the child while the parents are away. And while this is going on, the parents which is composed of a female vampire and a male human go around doing human activities while the female vampire is all fascinated by the stuff and activities humans do. I will say, just 5 minutes into this movie I could clearly see where this story was going to go. I even called the ending, which is composed of the kid showing his true identity and the humans and monsters dancing around and celebrating to modern pop music. I say just pass on this one, unless you really want to see the next chapter in this franchise which should have just ended with the first one. It's not a awful movie but it's just another CGI animated movie for kids that is watchable.6/10

This sequel was really without the humour of part 1. Where in the original the atmosphere was breathtaking, this was just hey, look at how funny us monsters can be like. Lots of jokes for adults only to understand or appreciated. So short slapstick kind of takes but no real story let alone character developing. The kids a was watching this movie with were quiet almost throughout the whole movie except for the end were finally some plot came about. We really loved the characters from the original movie so it was fun to see them again but it was sometimes painful to see all the short jokes I understood went blank on the kids. A solid 6 stars though. Not too shabby for a Friday night.
