What critics say influenced Hotel Transylvania 2
Sitting through this film will easily make you want to watch Young Frankenstein.
The comic presence of Brooks, who created effective horror pastiche Young Frankenstein in 1974, is one of the fresh elements which give returning director Genndy Tartakovsky more to play with here.
While Adam Sandler might be the new Nicolas Cage (whose feature films have lost favor with the public and his only recent hit being “The Croods,” an animated film), he still has a chance to redeem himself before he disappears into obscurity.
Three years ago, the first “Transylvania” was a fresh and funny alternative to Sandler’s bitter misanthropy in mean-spirited comedies like “That’s My Boy” and “Grown Ups,” and after subjecting us all to “Blended” and “Grown Ups 2” (to say nothing of the disastrous “The Cobbler”), Sandler and his usual crew of co-stars owed us a second visit to this haunted hotel.
