HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION

PG, 97 minutes. Through today only at Stonington. Still playing at Westbrook, Lisbon. It’s all about the zing. If you are not up on monster speak, the term zing refers to what happens once in the life of a vampire, mummy, werewolf, etc. It’s that moment when they know they have found the one true love in their life. In the case of “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation,” Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler) learns it’s possible to zing more than once as he meets the new once-ina-lifetime love of his life during a monster sea cruise.

It’s fun, and director Genndy Tartakovsky (“The Powerpuff Girls”) knows how to keep the action moving because of all his work in television animation, but the change of approach when dealing with Dracula coupled with the setting switch leaves the production just a little light on zing. — Rick Bentley, Tribune Content Agency

It merely serves to explain just how and why genetically engineered PG-13, 114 minutes. Stonington, Westbrook, Lisbon.
