‘Thira’ would be my first thriller film: Vineeth Sreenivasan

‘Hotel Transylvania’, the 3D computer-animated comedy film produced by Sony Pictures Animation and distributed by Columbia Pictures has been released in India. It was directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Samurai Jack, Dexter’s Laboratory, and Sym-Bionic Titan, and produced by Michelle Murdocca. The film features the voices of Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Kevin James, Fran Drescher, Steve Buscemi, Molly Shannon, David Spade and Cee Lo Green. Here is what the critics have to say about the film.

Rediff states that the film isn’t worth checking out: “Speaking of idiots, Sandler pours an infuriating accent on so thick, and with such little Lugosi authority, that it sounds more Jewish than Transylvanian. And no matter how many times Nosferajew bares his fangs, he can’t save this film from its ironic, tragic toothlessness.”

IBNLive exhorts us to go for it: “I’m going with three out of five for ‘Hotel Transylvania’. Adam Sandler anchors the film with a full-bodied, terrific performance that reminds us just what a gifted comedian he is. Watch this film, you’ll enjoy it!”

NDTV Movies agrees: “Hotel Transylvania as a 3D animated film is hardly ground-breaking, but with its kinetic sense of energy, it is a visual treat for the eyes both young and old. It is an endearing tale about an overprotective father and his intent on sheltering his beloved daughter.”
