Hotel Transylvania 2's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
The family-friendly Hotel Transylvania gags (in the script by Sandler and Robert Smigel) instead come off as clever and humane.
The Hollywood Reporter
This time around, greater attention has been paid to story and character development (while scaling back on all the sight gags) and the substantial results give the ample voice cast.
Toronto Star
While the first Hotel Trans had humour for both younger and older audiences, this one will likely fall short in its appeal to adults, although there's plenty for the little monsters to enjoy.
The Washington Post
Tartakovsky hasn't created the sort of sequel that eclipses the original, but then again the original wasn't exactly "Toy Story" or "How to Train Your Dragon."
Cinemanía
"Hotel Transylvania 2 could have built better and offer something more than a goofy story for very young children."
New York Post
The jokes stink like the Mummy's armpits.
Variety
Ultimately cares less about taking a stand in favor of progressive values than it does in superficially employing such feel-good ideas for unimaginative, hyperactive adolescent slapstick.
