Cage and Hoult both give great comic performances in this entertaining but flawed movie. Awkwafina's character is a bit hard to take, and the inconsistency of Cage's accent, which comes and goes, is pretty annoying. I would've preferred it if they simply allowed Cage to speak his lines in his normal American accent. And why a fake British accent? Isn't Dracula from Transylvania?
As others have observed, it's too bad Cage didn't get more screen time. He definitely made the most of every scene he was in, but as the most engaging actor/character in the movie, the film would've benefitted from more of Cage's patented, inspired zaniness.
I also thought the movie ran a little long. It could probably have been trimmed down a bit.
