Truly Dreadful Film
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
One of my all time favorites.
I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

View MoreThe makers of this movie got confused about who they are making it for... is it for the kids, or is it for adults? I absolutely don't recommend any young children to watch it. With bad phrases like licking butt, references to pubs and night life, scantily clad girls, I think the director tried his level best to put in as much trash in there as was possible by remaining within the upper-est level of the official PG rating, with as many hacks as possible, trying to please the filthy adult mind, which they assume all adult parents have who might be watching it with the children. I think I might be a little more conservative then the rest of the folks here, but we must remember, it is the direction you set for children at a young age which will steer their lives later.
View More"Bedtime stories" is not your typical Adam Sandler movie, as it is more aimed at children. Plot In A Paragraph: Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) is the handyman of a posh hotel. He is looked down upon by the general manager, the arrogant Kendall (Guy Pearce) who is engaged to the shallow Violet (Teresa Palmer) who is the daughter of the Hotels owner Barry Notingham (Richard Griffiths) When Skeeters sister Wendy (Courtney Cox) needs to travel to Arizona for a job interview. Wendy asks her friend Jill to watch her son Patrick and her daughter Bobbi during the day and Skeeter to watch them during the night. Skeeter makes up bedtime stories to help them to sleep but soon Skeeter realises that the plot of the stories are coming true and affecting his life. Adam Sandler is his usual self, as was Courtney Cox in her smaller role. Keri Russell is lovely as Jill, the two child actors who played Patrick and Bobbi were both fine and managed to stay clear of all the child actor cliché's, and Guy Pearce was suitably slimy and annoying. However for me Russell Brand was the stand out as Mickey, Skeeters best friend and co worker.
View MoreFirst off, this movie is awful. I noticed IMDb puts "excellent" movie reviews first so Im putting 10/10 just so you will be aware how bad this movie is. Im sick of kids in movies being so "cute". TO ALL DIRECTORS: KIDS THAT ACT OVERLY CUTE AND TALK LIKE ADULTS ARE NOT CUTE! Didn't WE ALREADY GET ENOUGH OF THAT IN ALL THOSE HARD-TO-WATCH 80'S SITCOMS?! This movie did have a few laughs but in the end its just another paycheck for the people involved. As I was walking out of the theater I got a familiar feeling like the time I was at the fair and paid $5 to see the freaks in the freak show. I felt like such a fool just being seen coming out of there with everyone knowing I just got ripped off. Thats what i felt like coming out of the theater, ripped off. The funniest person in it had the smallest part in Rob Scheider. The wedding singer was a great movie but unfortunately it spawned the worst "blockbuster" movies from you-know-who ever. Has anyone else noticed Sandler has big-time issues with Irish people? Did they beat him up a lot as a kid? Every villain in his movies is either a Mc or an O'. This movie is no exception with the leprechaun jokes. As a "Mc" myself, I've had it with his pretrial of us as bad guys and Im not watching any more of his movies. Besides, its not like Im going to be missing anything anyway.
