Valutazione di sleazerama
Possibly the worst written TV movie - even by LMN standards. Every small town mystery trope is trotted out. Appears to have been written in 5 minutes.
Zero points for the writer's horrible way of working 'Last House on the Left' in the script.

I saw this my with son recently at the Arclight in Hollywood, and even he seemed quite bored. I won't bore you with an intricate review, so I'll sum it up as best I can.
The move has a wonderful premise; Adam Sandler as the unwitting 'storyteller', indulging the minds of his young niece + nephew with fantastic bedtime tales of old that unfold on a whim -- and thus, in front of the audience.
The dazzling visuals that support this are top-notch, and should certainly thrill audiences of all ages. Having the furtive minds of children allowing these colorful stories to change course, is done so seamlessly, providing a nice twist and keeps us entertained.
But the movie suffers from an absolutely horrid sub-plot that feels hurried and poorly written -- though most kids will be oblivious to its' shortcomings. Many characters appear briefly and with little to do.
This non-fantasy side of the movie plays like a mix of a Nickelodeon teen show, and an unfunny SNL skit. As such, the movie has a hard time settling on one theme.
Adam Sandler is fine in his lead role -- charming and energetic. Russell Brand as his best mate is quite the worst choice, though obviously picked for name value alone (we need a funny British guy!). He's woefully unfunny and unpleasant to watch.
The two children that push the tales are predictably delightful, but suffer from the usual wide-eyed, affected, 'cute-as-a-button' casting that afflicts most Hollywood movies.
Familiar faces appear throughout -- some faring better than others with their limited roles.
Ultimately, it's a kids movie (with a twist)... not to be taken too seriously. Had it come equipped with a more balanced and well written plot, it would have been a strong contender for a definitive Xmas smash.
