Then you need a monster vacation! What if you are the vacation? For years now Dracula has been providing getaways for vacationers at Hotel Transylvania; but this time, Mavis decides to surprise Dracula and the rest of Drac s Pack with a vacation away from the hotel on a luxurious Monster Cruise Ship. A summer vacation is in order for this monster and crew, but what s a vacation without a little drama? Little did they know that this ship could turn out to be the love boat! Only time will tell if true love, or the Van Helsing s (Dracula s nemesis), will win! Over the summer, I took my three boys to watch this movie. Having not watched either of the first two, I asked my eight-year-old to give me a short summary of them to get me ready for who s who in this film. He did an accurate job of telling me a little bit on each character, and I knew exactly how everything would fit together! This was a super cute movie! I definitely recommend watching this one (and the first two) if you re looking for some light humor! Watch for it to be available for check-out in the library this fall! Rated PG for some action and rude humor. IMDb Rating: 6.3/10 Plugged In (Focus on the Family) Content Caution: Light for Kids, Teen, and Adult
