Congratulations Adam!!!

The film follows Count Dracula (Sandler), an overprotective vampire who attempts to throw the best 118th birthday party ever for his daughter, Mavis (Selena Gomez). While Mavis wants to travel and see the world, Dracula wants to keep her safe from sunlight and, more importantly, humans. However, when human traveler Jonathan (Samberg) stumbles upon Dracula’s mansion, Hotel Transylvania, and falls in love with Mavis, the monsters living there learn that maybe humans aren’t that frightening after all.

The premise of “Hotel Transylvania” is delightfully funny, featuring Sandler and his goofy, over-the-top Dracula accent. Not only does the film feature Sandler’s silliness, but it also pokes fun at monsters and the “Twilight” franchise. In one scene, when Jonathan is watching a scene of Edward and Bella from “Twilight,” Dracula comments, “I can’t believe this is how we’re represented.”

By the way, did you know that Adam Sandler plays poker? You can too, just check out the site at party poker. They have some really fun online games you can play on their site. He even has a page about poker on his own website at adamsandler.com. He joined a poker tournament in 2007 to benefit a charity (together with Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and several other celebrities). He’s play in 2008 and later as well. If you search on google you’ll find images of him sitting at poker tables with cards in his hands, excited for the tournaments he’s about to play in. Read on for more about Sandler and Samberg.

Samberg, known for his digital shorts on “Saturday Night Live” and for being one of the three members of the musical group The Lonely Island, showcases his rapping talent in the movie, while Gomez and Sandler sing.

The touching scenes between Sandler and Samberg’s characters add heart to the film. Dracula saves Jonathan’s life on more than one occasion, though he repeatedly says he doesn’t want Jonathan to have anything to do with his daughter. In another scene, Dracula risks flying in the sun in order to fetch Jonathan.

The film also features Frankenstein (Kevin James), who is afraid of fire. Griffin (David Spade), also known as the invisible man, has red hair. Wayne (Steve Buscemi) and Wanda (Molly Shannon), the werewolves, have more than a dozen kids who love to play pranks. These quirks humanize the monsters and make them fun to watch. Though this is a movie about monsters, these comical elements make the movie less scary, more ridiculous and a real treat.
