As far as I am concerned, Sandler has had three credible hits in his repertoire; The Water Boy,
The Wedding Singer, and Hotel Transylvania.
So, I was naturally hyped for this much-anticipated sequel, hopeful that
it would complement the originality of its predecessor, but worried that it
would fall flat like most of Adam's recent
jokes. I am pleased to inform that the
sequel is not only thoroughly entertaining and endearing but it effectively recaptures
all of the charm, humor, and emotion of the first. The full cast is back as big and vibrant as
ever, with a few newcomers that energize all of the already over the top
performances. I mean, it’s pretty hard
to lose when any comedy adds Mel Brooks, animated or not. The story is simple but fun and engaging and
its fast pace will keep both young and old riveted while taking just enough
time for those heartfelt moments to have an impact without becoming overtly
sappy. Genndy Tartakovsky should direct
all of Mr. Sandler's films; he might find a renewed success as opposed to his
latest run of nonsensical excess and box office poverty. 3 out of 5 Kernels: finally a Happy Madison
production with some bite.
