Hotel Transylvania is playing on TV at the moment so I thought I might as well watch and blog at the same time. My first immediate impressions was Despicable Me, and mostly because of the how the character talks haha.
I won't discuss the story line much but basically Count Dracula is running a hotel and is raising his 117 year old daughter Mavis alone after his wife was brutally killed by a mob in the 20th century. Being the over-protective father, he doesn't let his daughter go out and see the world, a dream she has. When a 21 year old human Jonathan arrives, he falls for Mavis, and turns the hotel upside down, making things "fun".
There's some funny bits in this film. There's a part when Mavis tries going out to the real world, but hits a snag when there's a mob of people who surround her, only to have themselves stab themselves and set themselves on fire(by accident of course as they're actually not human). I think the garlic + bread is really funny because of the Vampires don't like garlic thing haha.
Basically though, most of the storyline goes to Dracula stopping Jonathan from revealing that he's a human to the rest of the monsters and also stopping Mavis from wanting to leave home and travel the world. I really can't remember what happened at the end, so that isn't a good sign.
Overall it's an alright film, but I think more could have happened in it. Probably better for young children to watch as they won't care about the plot as much, though I have to say that there are elements which would probably scare young kids so you'd need to be careful with that.
