Hotel Transylvania 2 [DVD] [2015]

Just got back from seeing it in theaters, and let me tell you, there were several moments when just the kids would laugh, and moments when just the adults would laugh, and even moments when everybody laughed. This is coming from a guy who doesn't watch a lot of "kid" movies, and I can tell Adam Sandler wanted more than just kids to enjoy it, so he threw in child-raising jokes, nipple jokes, and a few other jokes and themes that go right over your average kid's head. And of course there's silliness plentiful for the kiddies to enjoy. If you're reading reviews, you should already be familiar with the plot, which in a nutshell for those who aren't, is basically the two kids from the first one are older and married and have a kid, who the grandfather, Count Dracula, hopes is a Dracula/monster like his own bloodline, but it doesn't seem to be the case. So family relationships are slightly strained in this movie as Dracula wonders if he'll be helping to raise his vampire grandson, or watching his human grandson and human son-in-law and vampire daughter move away and leaving him behind alone in his hotel, to go live with *gasp* HUMANS. So on top of it being hilarious for everybody, there's a lot more to it as well. Obviously if you're a fan of the first Hotel Transylvania, it's a guarantee you'll enjoy this sequel. The style of animation is exaggerated, highly sporadic, like a human gas molecule with ADHD and an IV inserted coffee bag. There is a lot going on in almost every scene, and with the characters behaving so hyper, it may take a couple viewings to take in all in. The humor is quick, very in your face, but welcoming. And trust me, humor is a-plenty. There are a few minor flaws; while tailored to two separate audiences, obviously there will be moments where one side will feel out of place. Either a child will cock their head to the side in puzzlement and maybe laugh but only because the adults are, or an adult will think to themselves "well that was just weird." And yes it's mostly a kid's movie so much of everything is easy to swallow. Go see it, even if you don't have kids, it's a fun, easy-going flick that's sure to make you jiggle with joy like Blobby. The characters are fun and diverse as before, humor is constant, and for those sticklers out there (you know who you are), the plot exists and it flows sufficiently enough to follow, and at a reasonable pace. So bust out your popcorn and brain juice, and enjoy this light-hearted comedy.

Kids love these movies

Such a good movie. It is funny and a good movie for the whole family. Adam Sandler is great!!

This was a great movie for the whole family to watch. I was actually doing something on the computer while the rest of my family watched the movie but as much as I was concentrating on what I was doing the movie kept pulling me in! It had a lot of really funny moments and nothing inappropriate! I did not really watch the very beginning so I was a little confused about the transition from the first Hotel Transylvania and this one. I was never sure if the red headed boy is the same one as from the first movie. It had the same characters with a few new ones and while you certainly don't need to see the first one to see and enjoy this one it bothered me that I did not understand the segue from one to the next. I think I would actually watch this without even thinking about the first one!! It was definitely a cute family movie. Definitely worth renting or buying, depending on whether your kids like to watch movies again and again. I wouldn't mind sitting down to watch the movie again!

Hotel Transylvania 2 is one of those movies I loved from the start and can watch over and over again. The humor, heartwarming moments, and lovable characters make it such a fun experience for all ages. It's great to see the continued adventures of Dracula and his quirky hotel crew. The animation is vibrant, and the storyline is engaging, making it perfect for family movie nights. So glad I can now watch it anytime! Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys lighthearted, fun, animated films!

Great, cute, and funny movie. We watch this all the time still. Both my kids love it.

How can you not?

Está 2da parte de hotel Transilvania la disfrutamos en familia fue muy divertida y mis hijos se enamoraron de ella

お分かりの通りモンスターホテル２の3Ｄ版です、リージョンはＯＫでしたがもちろん日本語関係は一切ありません。 日本では3Ｄ未発表との事で残念がっていたのですが海外版を見つけてずいぶん悩んで購入しました（ちょっと高かったので、、、）作品としたは一作目同様なかなか良い感じです、ただ3Ｄの見せ場的なものはちょっと減っています、そのへんで☆一個減。 おなじみの日本版ＤＶＤを日本語吹き替えで流しながらの鑑賞でしたがチャプタータイミングもばっちりなのでなかなか快適に鑑賞できました。 ストーリーはずばり「親父から祖父へ」です、続編を作るならこーだろーなって的な展開ですが気にいっちゃいました、でももう少し安くてもいいんじゃないの？

We had a good experience with Hotel Transylvania 2 in 3D movie disc. 3D effects are good in LG 3D TV and audio 5.1 DTS Master Audio was also good in Sony BDV Player .. Screen size is full with1920x1080p.. all and all I can say worth to buy in this price ...

I purchased the DVD with the activity set which cost an extra pound and to be honest the activity pack really wasn't worth the additional cost as it just consists of one sheet of stickers, one maze and 3 colouring in sheets with Dracula, Mavis and The Mummy on them. My children have enjoyed the stickers and colouring in sheets but they should have just been included with the normal DVD I think. Anyway the film itself is fantastic and I loved it however there is a scary part near the end which actually had my son scared the first time watching it and he asked for the film to be turned off because of it. So if you have a very young child I would suggest watching the film first to see if it will be okay for them. My son is fine with the film now and it has been played many many times and now he knows the bat isn't that scary he thinks the following events after it are hysterical. The film run time is approximately 1 hour 30 mins and this DVD is one disc. There are also special features on the disc:- Fifth Harmony Music Video "I'm in Love With A Monster" Character Sketch Galleries Director Commentary Commentary with Adam Sandler, Robert Smigel and Allen Covert Character/Scene Sketches Previews (The Angry Birds Movie and Open Season Scared Silly) The film is a follow up to the first one and Mavis has baby boy who when born doesn't seem to have any vampire characteristics and appears to be mostly human. Mavis is considering moving her family to live with her in-laws to give Dennis the best chances in human life with him not showing any vampire tendencies. Dracula doesn't want his family to move away and sets out to make sure his Grandson Dennis transitions to a vampire by taking him on a little road trip and he enlists his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin to help him along with the green blobby guy who wants to go along with them. The results are really funny as to be expected but will Dennis change into a vampire or will Dracula just have to accept Dennis is a human? The film is really funny and the storyline is brilliant and well thought out. There is quite a scary bit as I mentioned above and so I would recommend watching before letting a younger child view. I can't see them doing a Hotel Transylvania 3 but if they do I will definitely look forward to it.

Scandaleux ! DVD destiné uniquement pour les Etats Unis et Canada. Tout à fait d'accord avec le commentaire précédent. L'opératrice que je viens d'avoir au téléphone m'a dit que je n'avais qu'à mieux regarder le détail, mais il doit être bien caché car je ne l'ai pas vu. Fidèle cliente d'Amazon je vais dorénavant réfléchir à deux fois avant de passer par eux.

Ce DVD n'est pas adapté aux lecteurs DVD européens et cela n'est pas mentionné clairement contrairement à ce que la société prétend! Je dois le renvoyer aux USA à mes frais dans l'espoir d'un éventuel remboursement. C'est scandaleux! Un conseil: attendez sa sortie en France!!
