- 2018 July 10, Jesse Hassenger, “Improbably but amusingly, Hotel Transylvania 3 notches a series best”, in The Onion AV Club‎:
  It’s not exactly a Pixar-level examination of complicated family dynamics, and the movie still has plenty of knuckled-headed, Sandler-style boys-will-be-dumbasses shtick: Children everywhere will surely thrill to the sub-subplot about Frank catching hell about his gambling problem from his wife, Eunice (Fran Drescher)!

to be scolded or chastised

French: (colloquial, France) se faire appeler Arthur (fr), (colloquial) se faire sonner les cloches (fr), (informal) se faire tirer les oreilles (fr), (France, informal) se faire remonter les bretelles (fr), (colloquial) se faire enguirlander
