![]() TALKING: Hotel Transylvania tries to quirk-up the cliche of young people finding true love by using the term "zing" to lazily explain such feelings. Or, invisible comedian David Spade playing the an invisible man (or Hollow Man?). The most amusing of supporting character castings would be Steve Buscemi as a werewolf. Other voice talents in the movie are simply showing up to the recording booths, and making the same joke over and over. Rest of Cast: Gomez is such an indifferent presence here. Jonathan’s happy-go-lucky attitude is meant to be a cute contrast to Sandler’s Dracula, but is too simple to be funny. As for his voice acting, though Sandler is the only one who is trying to go for a certain type (everyone else just uses their regular voices, it seems), Sandler’s Dracula voice is only a measly impression.Īndy Samberg as Jonathan: Continuing his abusive relationship as Sandler’s slave, the former SNL comedian is reduced to archetype now, playing an excitable surfer dude, an excitable Dave Matthews Band-loving bro, or something lame in between. As for the director, this is Tartakovsky’s first debut, after making exciting animation shows like “Samurai Jack” and “Dexter’s Laboratory.” If animation director Seth McFarlane can find an immediate stride with Ted as he did this past summer, maybe Tartakovsky can make something out of a cute concept with far too many smiling faces for one poster.Īdam Sandler as Dracula: Even as Dracula, Sandler is able to make the classic character plain with this overprotective character. More specifically, this is for kids who are enabled in their junk food addictions.ĮXPECTATIONS: With roles in movies like Zookeeper, Sandler is not good at voice-overs, and with a movie like Jack and Jill he is certainly not very good at family comedies. WHO'S IT FOR? For all of you families considering a trip to ol’ Hotel Transylvania, beware: a field trip 200 miles through a flaming minefield to a second-run theater playing ParaNorman would offer a more fulfilling movie-going experience. PLOT: Protective daddy Dracula (Sandler) tries to kick out a nosy human (Samberg) who accidentally walks into his hotel for monsters only, and also falls for his vampire daughter Mavis (Gomez). Cast: (Voices of) Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Steve Buscemi, Cee-Lo Green, Fran Drescher
