The Good, the Bad and the Half-Dracula:

The sequel of 2012's "Hotel Transylvania" returns to the screen with more witty jokes and comedy, bringing endless laughter and happy moments to the audiences.

The film follows Count Dracula's hilarious efforts of trying to bring out the inner monster within his grandson Dennis who is the son of Mavis and Johnny - making him half-human and half-monster.

Like every other Adam Sandler's movie, some of the jokes make no sense and are just plain silly, but since this an animation movie, somehow the jokes work and hits right on the spot.

There are a number of contemporary elements in the movie such as the usage of social media, new technology like smartphones, mixed-race kids, Cookie Monsters and Fifth Harmony.

Voice-acting wise, every cast seems to deliver their role pretty well, especially Asher Blinkoff, who voices five-year old Dennis. His "Blah, blah, blah" moment is simply too adorable to handle.

The film has a very decent and heart-warming overall message which is to accept people for who they are regardless of their race or background, and not forcing them into becoming what they are not or how we want them to be.

Overall, the film is full of fun and will definitely tickle your funny bone. It is an enjoyable and satisfying film suitable for both adults and children alike.
