In 1895, Dracula builds a resort in Transylvania, hidden from the humans, to raise his beloved daughter Mavis in a safe environment. In the present, the place is the Hotel Transylvania, where monsters bring their families to vacation far from the frightening humans. Dracula invites his friends - Frankenstein and his wife Eunice; Wayne and Wanda, the werewolves; Griffin, the invisible man; Murray, the mummy; Bigfoot, among others - to celebrate the 118th birthday of Mavis. When the party is ready to start, the 21-year-old Jonathan is walking through the forest and stumbles upon the hotel.

| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorWe only hear him, but this is the best thing Adam Sandler has done in years. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallHotel Transylvania doesn't raise the bar for animation or comedy but it's fun, and nice for once to have a different reason to say "boo" after an Adam Sandler flick. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifford"Hotel Transylvania" tries to be slapstick monster movie, a protective daddy flick and a story of young romance between human and vampire - very timely with "True Blood," "The Vampire Diaries" and, I hate to say, the "Twilight" series. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottFinally, a vampire movie - hint, hint Twilight - that is intentionally funny. |
| Mania.comRob VauxIt won't fill your kids with magic and wonder, but you can be reasonably assured of diverting them for a few precious hours without permanently warping their minds. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongIt won't drive you crazy to watch it, but it isn't "The Lion King" either. |
| Philadelphia City PaperSam AdamsIt's not a satisfying whole, but parts are sheer delight. |
| Birmingham PostRoz LawsChecking into this hotel will give you a thrill and get you in the mood for Halloween. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerMonstrously entertaining, frequently hilarious comedy with lively, fast-paced animation, appealing characters, a witty script and terrific voice performances from a superb comic cast. |
| MovieCrypt.comKevin A. Ranson... feels more like a good Cartoon Network series pilot than a great feature film... no one thought to do a parody of The Eagle's 'Hotel California' for this? |
