	Author	Review
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"While it's an energetic romp, there is more slapstick humor than wit at work here, and a good deal of borrowing from the far more clever 'Monsters, Inc.' (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"Hotel Transylvania" may offer a perfectly fine Halloween-themed getaway for young kids, but there aren't many amenities for Mom and Dad (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A stale overprotective-dad story set within a location that could easily house a more inspired mix of characters and events"	NEG
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	The movie loses its originality as it rolls toward its predictable conclusion, but it's still lovely to look at.	POS
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"A scarily unfunny animated monster movie (...) Hotel Transylvania checks in as an anemic example of pure concept over precious little content"	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A movie coasting along on Halloween hype-marketing, without providing as many laughs and ideas as it really could have done (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"Sandler achieves sickening levels of ickiness and so sinks this otherwise pleasurable cartoon romp (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Bilge Ebiri Vulture	"Pleasantly disposable (...) [It] is better than it should be, if not quite as good as it could be"	NEU
United Kingdom	Helen O'Hara Empire	"An animation that never drags itself out of mediocrity (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
