[edit]

Synopsis: Dracula, who operates a high-end resort away from the human world, goes into overprotective mode when a boy discovers the resort and falls for the count's teen-aged daughter.


Reaction: At times it feels like it's supposed to be funnier than it is, but it's still quite enjoyable.
