Hotel Meh
by
My biggest problem with Hotel Transylvania was that it was told through Dracula's point of view. This is a family film, but it should be told through a kid's point of view, namely the daughter. Would Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast or any children's film have been the same if told through their fathers' points of view?? I guess it worked in Finding Nemo, but only because a child can so easily appeal to a father's grief over losing a son, but not necessarily to a father not wanting his daughter to leave the castle. So, it appealed to the adults mostly, since my best friend and I were the ones laughing the loudest, but my kids didn't get a lot of the talk and/or jokes. The dance scenes were funny, and overall, it was okay, and maybe it's just me, but I was hoping for bigger hit since I'm a monster movie/Halloween freak.
