Movie Review: Hotel Transylvania

In this movie, Dracula builds a hotel (castle) to protect his daughter, Mavis, from humans. This hotel is frequented by various monsters because monsters are always welcome there. Mavis, who is celebrating her 118th birthday wants to get out and see the world, but Dracula does not want her to leave his protection. A human manages to sneak into the hotel, and Dracula wants to get rid of him. However, he does not want his guests to know that a human has "invaded" the hotel because they would no longer trust the hotel's safety if they found out. Therefore he has the human pass as a "monster" until he can get him out of the hotel. The plan would have went well had not Mavis met the human (even though she thought he was a monster when she met him), and fell in love with him. Dracula was very upset with this development, but what is a vampire to do in this situation? Watch the movie, and you'll find out. I was sold on this movie the first 5 minutes when Dracula said he would bite the head off a bird. I realized that this Dracula was a great guy who hates birds as much as I do. I give this movie 12 paws up (I borrowed Angel Zoom Smokey and Phantom Fast Snowman's paws), 3 tail wags (again I called in the other 2 dogs), and a half a day's worth of Siberian husky kisses. On the human movie scale, it is a 10 out of 10. It is a very entertaining movie with everything that you expect to see in a movie--romance, monsters, and a big castle. I might add that all the werewolf puppies were delightfully cute--as cute as dog puppies, and everyone loves puppies!!! Be sure and see this movie. It will make you wish you were a monster so you could stay at the Hotel Transylvania too! Demon Flash Bandit (Movie Critic)
