BEDTIME STORIES? What do you think it's about? Do it for the kids. Yup, that's right. This was, obviously, a movie pick for the family. Although I do like Adam Sandler for some reason.

Bedtime Stories is about this sorta loser guy whose Pops used to own a hotel and tell him these great bedtime stories every night. Although he's promised the hotel later when his Pops sells the hotel and passes on, he ends up being a janitor/Mr. Fix-It kinda guy who gets $hit on every day.

He ends up taking care of his niece and nephew one week and tells these made-up stories to them, and the parts that the kids add on to his stories end up coming true. From then on, he tries to manipulate these stories to his advantage so that he can end up being in charge of the hotel he was promised previously.

Original method of repeating a common theme of kids' movies. Kids use their imagination and creativity. Good things start happening. We get to watch a real-life fairy tale unfold. Remember, it's for kids. It is Disney.

Keri Russell looks like Cameron from HOUSE. Courteney Cox is getting old. Guy Pearce...I can't believe that's the guy from MEMENTO. Lucy Lawless...can't believe she was XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS, that hidden-lesbo TV series.

Adam Sandler? He has a knack for making likable, entertaining movies. He's like that funny, sometimes goofy guy who can be cool and punky, but has a heart, too. I always like his movies. I don't know what it is. Well, except LITTLE NICKY. And BILLY MADISON. Those were a little too silly for me.

Watch it with the kids. I don't see why you would watch this without kids unless you're a huge Adam Sandler fan. Pretty good movie. Not spectacular, but some heartfelt moments there. Little bit. Not enough to make you cry though. I give this movie two kids who make up their own stories every day at dinner except I hope they don't come true otherwise we'd be hanging out with a guy who had his arm cut off and Nacho Nacho Man...
