What if the stories you told came to life?
Advantages: Magical story, fun family entertainment
Disadvantages: Typical Sandler silly in places
...good at doing is telling bedtime stories with the help of a goggly eyed hamster and the children. But when their imaginative stories begin to come true, Skeeter sees an opportunity to get everything he's ever dreamed of. ~ Cast ~ Skeeter Bronson - Adam Sandler Jill - Keri Russell Mickey - Russell Brand Patrick - Jonathan Morgan Heit Bobbi - Laura Ann Kesling Kendall - Guy Pearce Barry Nottingham - Richard Griffiths Violet Nottingham - Teresa Palmer ...
...are attempting to steer the bedtime stories in a direction which will be beneficial to them by trying to add more grown up things into the stories such as sexy women, lots of money and revenge on those who deserve it. These parts are more comical and more appropriate for the adults in the audience which does make this a great film for the whole family. There is still a lingering of Sandler's stupid humour which pops up occasionally throughout the ...

Forget the Kids, I loved this!
Advantages: great story, good acting, good funny bits
Disadvantages: Russell Brand is in it!
...of Skeeter they make up bedtime stories. After the first night Skeeter finds that the story they made up did in fact come true for him and he lived it out during the day. Skeeter tries to use this to his advantage and help him move up in the hotel industry. Will Skeeter be able to use the children’s stories to get his dream job or will things not work out as he planned?
I have only given a very brief plot outline to this film as I think that giving ...
...little predictable towards the end so I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who has not seen it. Now this film is really for children but I really did want to see it as it looked very fun. I have to say that both me and hubby found it was very entertaining and at times very funny. I thought that Adam Sandler did a great job in the role of Skeeter as his character was daft and this for me is what he does best. I think he had a great chemistry with both ...

if you could have whatever you wanted, what would you choose?
Advantages: funny
Disadvantages: mix match of genres
...stories he tells them at bedtime actually become reality! With this super-power in hand, he sets about manouvering his own destiny so that he can become manager of the hotel he works in, and have the life he's always dreamed of. IS IT ANY GOOD: If you hear there's a new film coming out starring Adam Sandler and Russell Brand, you wouldn't think it would be a family film would you? Well, Bedtime Stories fits (although rather awkardly) into that bracket. ...
...a light-hearted drama with plenty of comic moments that encourages creativity and ambition. It has a touch of fantasy to it, with some of the stories being set in the time of the knights and that sort of thing, and would probably appeal to young teens upwards. Plot-wise, it's an interesting story, with enough going on to keep you going for the hour and a half it lasts. It doesn't quite find its feet in terms of is it a comedy, a romance, a kids film ...
