Who made you such an amazing daughter?
You.
That's right. What a father I am.
Spoilers ahead..
Mavis (Selena Gomez voice) decides her dad Dracula (Adam Sandler voice) needs a break from the hotel and thereby takes him, family and friends on a secret vacation to a cruise. In a first of its kind, the cruise is for sea loving monsters to have fun and adventures throughout the journey with various stops. But they aren't aware that the captain of the ship Ericka (Kathryn Hahn) is related to the Val Helsing family who have always hated the monsters and this whole cruise is just a trap to kill all of them. The story is totally predictable, it was easy to guess that Ericka would have a change of heart and save Dracula in the end. There are some fun moments that will make you laugh, that positive vs negative energy songs played at dj competition between Johnny (Andy Samberg voice) and Ericka's great grandfather, Van Helsing (Jim Gaffigan voice) was hilarious, specially the choice of positive energy songs and that last one 'Macarena' (for some reasons I thought a Titanic song was coming, no idea why). Some cute moments between Dracula-Mavis and eye-catching visuals in volcano sequence. Unfortunately, that was only the interesting part of movie, the movie falls flat in the gags and jokes with other characters for most of the screen-time. The Helsing plot isn't much to enjoy either. Hotel Transylvania 3 has very few fun moments and it barely qualifies as a time-pass movie too.
My Rating : 4/10
Peter Rabbit
Directed by : Will Gluck
Imdb link -> https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5117670/
Diet starts now.... Now.. Now... Now.. Now.. Now.
Story about Peter Rabbit (James Corden voice), his three sisters Flopsy (Margot Robbie voice), Mopsy (Elizabeth Debicki voice), Cotton Tail (Daisy Ridley voice) and a cousin Benjamin (Colin Moody voice). One day their neighbour dies and they all are happy as they don't have to secretly visit the garden anymore when they try to steal vegetables/fruits. But to their surprise, their neighbours relative, Mr Thomas McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) arrives and he is lot more of a wild life hater. Thomas falls in love with Bea (Rose Byrne) who is very close to the rabbits and a nature lover. Its a fight between Thomas and the rabbits, none of them can see each other living together. Another predictable story as you very well know the relationship between rabbits and Thomas will turn into friendship at the end. The interactions between the rabbits is funny, specially the 'I am oldest' arguement throughout, or the Peter-Benjamin character flaw. I also enjoyed the fight scenes and strategies they built against Thomas. Pigling Brand (Ewen Leslie voice) continuously pretending not hungry and then eating everything or the diet now scene was hilarious. Despite the story been average, the animation and screenplay makes up for it as Peter Rabbit is a light time-pass movie with some dull moments to manage by.
My Rating : 5.5/10
