Um Faz de Conta Que Acontece

Adam Sandler teams up with Walt Disney for a funny family movie. Sandler plays Skeeter, a man who grew up in the hotel business courtesy of his father. What was once a family owned hotel became part of the Nottingham chain. Skeeter went from son of the owner to maintenance man. His health nut sister, Wendy (Courtney Cox), went on to have two kids and be a teacher. Skeeter would experience some strange, almost magical, events when he babysat his niece and nephew for a week and regaled them with bedtime stories.

I got a kick out of "Bedtime Stories." It was funny and not overdone. The jokes were good and not extreme. It was a tamer version of Sandler.

Bedtime Stories' script is magnificently written. It has huge character arcs, tent poles, and humor. It can't get better. Only, it feels, at times, it overdoes a little. Overdoes the character arcs, the fiction. It, sometimes, becomes not believable, which is the only complaint I have from the Writer. I can even count the many times it has overdone such moments.

Now, Adam Sandler, has done a remarkable job. He stands tall, gives his best and delivers yet another amazing characrer with a spectacular movie.

Of course, family movies can get way better than this one is, however, it keeps gripping the audience right till the end. Nonetheless, the climax is exceptional too.

The thing about Bedtime Stories is that it is light, funny, easy to digest and all around great for the whole family.

It's just like any other Sandler's movies except this one doesn't contain any only-for-adults jokes.

It might not be the movie I'd recommend to someone who is in for something serious or something that is seriously funny, but this movie has got it all. There's comedy, slight drama and a lot of action; from cowboys to the outer space.

Great writing and great acting.

Really, there's nothing to complain. It's just a very entertaining family movie, which we don't get a lot these days.

I recommend Bedtime Stories to any Disney fans and also to anyone who'd enjoy Adam Sandler's movies, minus the sexual and dirty jokes.

Say what you will about MOST Adam Sandler movies, Bedtime Story is actually pretty funny. Give it a shot.

We went to this movie with my two kids (ages 7 and 10, both girls), my Brother-in-law and his wife and their two kids (ages six and nine, both boys.) We were a bit apprehensive about this due to the poor critics ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. (Frankly, the critics gave it abysmal ratings and I almost avoided this entirely because of those ratings.) And perhaps they were right. But I know that despite the critics we all enjoyed it greatly. Maybe it was just the mood we were all in or the good meal we just had before the movie but we laughed throughout. Obviously there is no high-brow humor here or social commentary to be made. It's just a movie who's sole purpose is simply to have fun.

Cookie cutter? Perhaps. In fact, in retrospect I'm sure it was. But it was still enjoyable.

So if your looking for something more than what you see in the previews, forget it. It isn't happening. This movie makes no pretenses about what it is exactly about: good fun. If your looking for anything other than that, you're going to be disappointed.

On the down side, some of the best moments were captured in the previews. While this certainly isn't the first movie to this (not the last I'm sure), it always seems to take something away from the experience of watching the movie. But there were plenty of other twists and turns in this movie that helped minimize the effect this had on the overall viewing experience.

Overall this movie was a delight for kids both big and small in our group. You'll enjoy it if you watch it with a child's eye...and not those big ones Bugsy has!!!
