Hotel Transylvania 3 follows Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler) and his fellow monsters as they embark on a cruise, where Dracula falls for the energetic and mysterious Captain Ericka (voiced by Kathryn Hahn), which arouses the suspicions of Dracula's daughter Mavis (voiced by Selena Gomez). Ericka meanwhile reveals herself to be the great granddaughter of Abraham Van Helsing (voiced by Jim Gaffigan). She conspires to bring all of the monsters to their dooms. I'll admit that I haven't seen the second movie, but I have seen the first film.
Hotel Transylvania 3 isn't as good as the first movie, but this movie still produced some pretty good laughs. The voice actors are still pretty on point, especially Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Kathryn Hahn, and Jim Gaffigan. The animation is just as fast-paced and energized as ever. Sandler shares some solid dramatic moments with both Selena Gomez and Kathryn Hahn as well as the typical comedic moments that feel like they have been lost in most of his recent live action work. While all of the voice actors are good, some of them are pretty sidelined and underused. The biggest example is Andy Samberg as Johnny. Johnny was one of the main characters in the first movie, but he barely seems to appear in this movie. Not every joke lands, which is a common problem with comedies, but the jokes that do land outweigh the jokes that don't. In spite of this movie's flaws, I still enjoyed it as a decent family film that I do recommend.
