HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2 :: Review & Giveaway
“A joy for both kids and adults alike.” – Greg Wakeman, CinemaBlend Hotel Transylvania is one of our family’s favorite movies! We had a chance to see Hotel Transylvania 2 when it came out at the theaters and loved it as much as the first one. The Hotel Transylvania sequel reunites ‘Drac’s Pack’ of loveable characters, led by “Vampa” Drac (Adam Sandler, Grown-Ups) as they try to put Mavis (Selena Gomez, Spring Breakers) and Johnny’s (Andy Samberg, TV’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) son Dennis through a “monster-in-training” boot camp to bring out his vampire side.
