Though it may earns some chuckles from pre-teens, this kid-friendly Adam Sandler comedy is uneven, poorly paced, and lacks the requisite whimsy to truly work.

It descends into pathos, undermined by an insipid romantic subplot and the usual platitudinous guff about self-belief. Jan 5, 2009 | Rating: 2/6 | Full Review…

It's a pleasing concept, and Sandler is at his least obnoxious, but surely Adam Shankman's family comedy could have been wittier. Jan 5, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

There's a surface liveliness to the movie, but it has that plasticky Disney quality and lack of real heart. Jan 5, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

An innocuous but haphazard family comedy that seems less crafted for children than dreamed up by a team of them. Dec 29, 2008 | Full Review…

Bedtime Stories is one of those stories told at bedtime: safe, comforting and predictable. But there is a topping: it has Adam Sandler, a hero whose main virtue isn't his looks, kingdom or valour but a likeability that helps you overlook all of it. Apr 26, 2019 | Full Review…

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. Sep 28, 2011 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

A family-friendly Adam Sandler movie that, even with its strained plot developments, is tame without being lame. Aug 14, 2009 | Rating: 2.5/4

If you are forced to attend, then at least Bedtime Stories is tolerable, and occasionally fun -- when it forgets to be dumb. May 27, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

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. Apr 19, 2009 | Full Review…
