Have you ever returned to the home of your childhood and find it to be almost unrecognizable? You had remembered it so vividly but now it looks so different? My grandmother lived by the highway in a small town. Every time we pass her house I can almost smell baked gingerbread with a glass of cold fresh milk.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. The movie includes an all-star cast with Sandler as Dracula and Selena Gomez as his daughter, Mavis, and numerous other big-named...
