The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Bedtime Stories (Starring Adam Sandler) is a creative, funny, adventurous story. It really unlocks what can happen in a child's imagination, and how that though in your mind can turn into reality.Of course Adam was a great actor in this movie and you have every right to laugh of how he puts the script into his mind and really pronounces it in a funny way. We rate it a 9/10 FOR laughs, actors, and of course bedtime stories. Made by Disney, this movie was wild from the beginning and you should know because every Disney has fun and laughter.Probably every child should like this because it's mixed in with: Action, Drama, Romance, Comedy and Adventure. We Would advise a 5+ year old to watch this.-Thank you for reading this ReviewSilver Patriot Pictures

I bought this film in a weak minded moment, despite the fact that I really can't abide Russell Brand in general, but I eventually got round to watching it. And it is great fun! It's a charming family comedy with a little romance, and a lot of good clean slapstick that everyone can laugh at! I would have watched it sooner if I had known it starred Guy Pearce as a stiff-neck! It has some other familiar faces too. It is over all, great fun with no nastiness. I would have liked to have seen more of Courtney Cox though, as I've had a soft spot for her since seeing her in '3000 Miles To Graceland'. The interaction between Adam Sandler and the kids is charming, and the actors playing the kids did well in spite of their young ages.

Sandler goes Disney and tones down some of his humour but also a lot of his goofiness. He is a nice hotel maintenance man Skeeter Bronson. His father used to own it but had to sell to Richard Griffiths to stave off bankruptcy. Griffith promised to have let Skeeter run the hotel one day.His smarmy rival in the hotel Kendall (Guy Pearce) is the guy who manages the hotel. He date's the boss's daughter and is in line to take over the running of the new replacement hotel.Skeeter's sister Wendy (Courteney Cox) has to get out of town and dumps her two children on him and her friend (Keri Russell. To entertain them he tells them bedtime stories but with a real world twist.He also ends up being challenged by Griffiths to come up with ideas for the theming of his new hotel and the one with the best presentation will run the new hotel.Pretty soon the tales he tells and the real world collide as he has to keep one step ahead of Kendall who has a few tricks up his sleeve. Skeeter only has Russell Brand, a fellow hotel employee to aid him.From the trailers the film had an interesting premise of fantastical stories to be told, fighting knights, chariot races, in the wild west and outer space but it soon gets lame. The main plot is lamer and although there are few good sequences such as the rainbow gummy balls falling, it is not enough to sustain it.The film was always going to be predictable, Keri Russell would be the love interest, Kendall will get his just desserts and some of the Sandler regulars pop by.Brand gives a more restrained performance as the best friend. The kids were good, but the film was boring. Courtney Cox and Lucy Lawless were wasted and also Jonathan Pryce as Skeeter's dad. The film promised more than it delivered although the kids enjoyed it more.

Marty Bronson hoped the Sunny Vista Motel would be their home with his son Skeeter (Adam Sandler) and his daughter Wendy (Courteney Cox). But he's not a good businessman, and he's forced to sell to Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths) promising to let Skeeter run it when the time comes. Barry has built an impressive hotel, but no longer remembers the promise. Skeeter is only the handyman, and the new manager is Kendall (Guy Pearce) who's engaged to Barry's daughter Violet (Teresa Palmer). Meanwhile Wendy has to leave town and ask Jill (Keri Russell) to watch her kids during the day and Skeeter during the night. He makes up bedtime stories for the kids that somehow comes true.First of all, Skeeter is annoying and doesn't deserves the management hotel job. He's the handyman and he's lucky to have that job. He NEEDS to be a capable man so that his oversight is seen as an injustice. Being nice to the guests is just a bare minimum. All the whining really wears badly. Keri Russell is sweet which balances out Adam Sandler. This family movie is barely that. I guess that why they have the bug-eyed Bugsy, but that guinea pig is just weird.
