After sitting through this fractious fairy tale, we feel as plucked as a Christmas goose.
An innocuous but haphazard family comedy that seems less crafted for children than dreamed up by a team of them.
For a creative premise, it's downright dispiriting to see such a banal interpretation.
It's a delightfully innocent movie that the actor can actually show to his two baby daughters without blushing.
Richard Griffiths best gets the antic spirit of this enterprise, relishing his multiple roles as Sandler's phobic boss and several fantasy characters.
I didn't like one part of this movie.
There's nothing fresh in Sandler's role that you haven't seen in almost every movie he's ever done -- the same mumbly, underachiever-schlub notes he's been hitting for years, only taken down a notch for his first PG-rated comedy.
A family-friendly Adam Sandler movie that, even with its strained plot developments, is tame without being lame.
A sweet romantic comedy that has enough humor to keep the kids entertained as well--and without having to resort to a lot of belching or farting.
If you are forced to attend, then at least Bedtime Stories is tolerable, and occasionally fun -- when it forgets to be dumb.
...ultimately comes off as the most entertaining Adam Sandler comedy to hit theaters since 2004's 50 First Dates...
Enjoyable, silly and a wee bit whimsical. It's also treacherously predictable at times, the two leads lack chemistry and it has the token horrible Rob Schneider cameo.
The real charm of Bedtime Stories is how it works as a family film.
Disney released the movie in one of its excellent 'combo-packs', which includes three discs: Blu-ray, standard DVD, and a 'digital copy' for your computer or portable player.
Given that Sandler's main appeal has always been to the 12-year-old in all of us, it probably makes sense for him to aim his movies directly at that age group.
A big step backward for director Adam Shankman ('Hairspray').
There is one big Sandler moment, when he discovers how to use a sandwich to brush his teeth. But I'll pass on the Cinderfella part, where instead of shoes, he promises to stick around 'like the stink on your feet.' Nose clips, please.
Bedtime Stories lacks the required thrills, imagination, comedy and drama required to be a truly entertaining family film.
Guy Pearce abraça o embaraço com toda a vontade, mas nem isso salva esta porcaria constrangedoramente mal escrita, atuada e dirigida do fracasso. Um filme de Adam Sandler para crianças: alguém alerte a UNICEF.
A potentially interesting movie that comes crashing down as hard as that proverbial beanstalk.
