Now that Dracula has opened the Hotel Transylvania's doors to humans, things are changing for the better; however, Drac is secretly worried that his half-human grandson, Dennis, isn't showing his vampire side. So, while Mavis and Johnny are away, Drac enlists his friends to help him put the boy through a "monster-in-training" boot camp. But things really get batty when Drac's cantankerous, old-school dad pays an unexpected visit.

Critics Consensus

Hotel Transylvania 2 is marginally better than the original, which may or may not be enough of a recommendation to watch 89 minutes of corny, colorfully animated gags from Adam Sandler and company.

3/5

Still, the material is a lot stronger than anything in the premise-squandering Pixels or lackluster Paul Blart sequel.

Littered with clichs and rehashed gags, the sequel's strength rests on the impressive art and animation. The simplistic gags might just work with young audiences.

The movie's family friendly scares won't give kids any nightmares, but it won't make them laugh either.

It stays on safe ground at all times trusting that what has already been successful once will be accomplished again. In exchange, it is more fun and with a more effective structure. [Full Review in Spanish]

It was a good message and I definitely found it entertaining. My 11 year old and 5 year old both were into it.

This is the definitive film in the franchise, due to adding more characters and making the plot interesting, but serious at the same tine. Especially having a better understanding to Dracula, Mavis, and Johnny than the last movie, which resulted to having more soul.
