Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
很好看啊。这次的熊出没不仅仅是给孩子看的，大人也可以看？有不少梗，笑点很多。
一眨眼《精灵旅社》都第四部了，经历了第二部第三部的灾难式下滑，这部竟然能够及格挽尊也是不容易，能看出尝试了一些新的画风，分镜依然是高水平输出，剧情虽然依旧主打家庭内核，但这个身份互换相比2、3部在趣味性上还是好多了，整体而言属于如果不上流媒体的话会扑得很惨的那一拨
今年影院看的第二部电影，都是动画片，都成奶爸了

很失望，没想到最后的收官之作会是这样的收尾，看在前几部的情面上勉强给个及格。全剧光靠一个看似巧妙的“人怪物变换”的设定讨喜，剩下的就是浮夸的肢体动作以及对先前的角色人设卖力的维持，剧情和情感转变过分直接甚至突兀，包括女婿的人设竟从先前以为的快乐男孩转变成了一个低情商傻缺。（以及我实在不懂面对德古拉不放心把旅馆拱手让人的事实他在那低落个什么劲，还处心积虑地想出点损招，让我不得不代入成年人的视角衡量他是否有对于钱财的超人欲望）
可惜最后一部，要是再拍几部就更好了，一直挺喜欢这个系列动画。男主想要变成怪物但不曾想失控变不回来要去找宝石重新变回人样，但之前将其岳父和其它狼人之类全部变成人类，一起开启一个冒险之旅但是不带妻女。将所有大行李给他拿挺逗，最后在刺激下变成巨龙，在小女友的帮助下回到之前。
这部电影看似是终章，但我有理由怀疑索尼会继续出动画版作为后续营销。

比之前两部在故事上来说的确一般，但是看时还是能使我放松一下心情的
相爱一家人，五一乐翻天。
精灵旅社这系列都挺不错的，视觉效果都很好，故事和结局虽然老套，不过全篇是轻松幽默真善美的基调，挺好看的，三星半吧。
不是太好看，喜欢精灵系列就是喜欢那群怪人稀奇古怪，尤其第一部大饱眼福，但是这部就是去拿了个宝石，旅馆被拆了也没有新悬念剧情，——去盖你喜欢的吧，好鸡汤，原来这群朋友各显神通各有奇特之处也没有了，……很平庸的就是我和我女婿先出发我女儿赶上来 ……无聊
元素是挺多，但借鉴的元素要跟观众产生共情不是，整个看完之后，毫无波澜咱就是。

作为系列收官作 还能玩点花样 让怪物和人类身份互换 实属不易 令我们见到了几个主要怪物角色成为怪物前的人类真身和真实性格 蛮有趣的 但从故事上 这一部回到了系列原初 重新谈起了德古拉对约翰尼人类身份的认同与接纳的问题 也搞了一把这几年流行的we are family 可以说这部电影对整个系列画了个圆 从角色刻画上终于达成了德古拉伯爵的最终成长 不过这一部还真是一如既往的闹腾 挺尴尬的
想看女儿多点镜头，结果你给我看两个男的感情升华？
没有抱着预期，就还挺好看的，虽然系列拍到第4部，原先设定的创意和潜力几乎都已经被吃干抹净了，但是如果单就这一部还是可以挖出不少可圈可点的亮点之处。比如翁婿之间的心结，通过转变立场身份来完成共情，甚至还上演了一处《爸爸去哪儿》叠加《女婿上门了》的基础设定，既因为同时也因为这种错位制造了大把的笑料，西方奇幻文化的加持，让很多桥段设置都充满了揶揄和恶搞，连男主变身怪物的场景都借鉴了MJ著名MV《Thriller》里边化身狼人的镜头和构图，让人忍俊不禁。当然这些几乎是模式化的颠覆和恶搞本身都被搞成了一个索引狂热、还有那一众西方文化的经典怪物，弗兰肯斯坦、木乃伊、隐身人等等如果现出他们人类身份的原型，那种反差萌也叫人拍案叫绝，最后的合家欢结局皆大欢喜，但是过程中的这些爆点，才是真正的可观之处。
但惊艳的是影片对于色彩的应用，大胆应用色彩，两个人在丛林中行走时，背景一直在切换，且都是暖色调的色彩，琳琅满目，心旷神怡。
你们确定这是给小朋友们看的？？？？？？
陪儿子一起看的，倒是把我看得很激动很热血。
