An animated comedy sequel in which Dracula and his monster family take a cruise.
Without any of the highbrow trimmings of a Pixar movie, A Monster Vacation is all an animation needs to be: fast, funny and good-humoured.
The end message, namely that monsters and humans aren’t that different and really ought to learn to get along, is sanctimonious in the extreme. Maybe it is time to put a stake through the heart of this particular franchise.
There isn’t a single moment of genuine wit or fun in this depressingly mediocre, soulless and pointless Munsters knockoff.
There are better ways for your kids to pass the time over the school holidays.
