    Not again!

    The rate at which Sandler-driven movie vehicles hit our screens should tell you all you need to know about their quality. The man is just not funny. All the way back to his golden age of Happy Gilmour his humour has been lame. What is the popular fascination with this comedian?

    Zzzzzzzzzzz

    Ok here we go, i am not a fan of sandler i just do not think his funny, im a fan of a few of his films but thats normally due to a good supporting cast, and they are the one where he is not doing that annoying scream and mocking noise or sarcastic laugh i hate it, and this film is just another one of those, its boring even my kids got bored.

    Verdict: Just glad my mum let me borrow her copy before i decided to rent it lol

    The guinea pig is cute though :-)

    Good Decent Christmas Release !

    This is a good Adam Sandler film, it is not his funniest but still the storyline is enjoyable and suitable for all audiences. This film obviously hasn't got the WOW factor but it is still worth the watch.

    Pricey, NICE ;-0

    We were really looking foward to watching this as we love Adam Sandler but were BITTERLY dissapointed with this film. What could have been a great story line turned into a weird viewing experience. Saving grace was the guinea pig. This is two hours of your life you'll never get back, we nearly switched off !!

    Might just send you to sleep

    Good as Sandler is, he can only work with the material he takes on, and I'm afraid he should have left this script under the bed. Sandlers father is the film is pretty much a down on his luck hotelier who sells out to the big boys who along with promising a wonderful new hotel, also say his son will be guaranteed a job for life. Of course no one mentioned the job would be as a lowly handyman come janitor. But luck and a few bedtime stories told to his newphew and niece will not let Sandlers fate be so lowly, and a change in fortune is never in doubt. There are no graet comedy moments, no great story and nothing muchh to mention, other than it is an OK movie that you wouldnt miss out on if you didnt see. basically for diehard Sandler fans only.

    Brilliant!

    I absolutely loved this film and would recommend it. The bedtime stories that Adam Sandler tells are fantastic and i thought Russell Brand was brilliant. I am now going to buy this movie after watching it.

    More hit than miss

    Every Adam Sandler film is a selection of hits and misses. There are some cringe inducing moments in this but fortunately the hits are good enough to make up for the misses. Enough good laughs to make it a worthwhile way to whitter away an hour and a half.

    similar

    this film is similar to inkheart, where a person reads a story it becomes reality, inkheart is in my oppionion is the better movie.

    not saying bedtime stories is rubbish. it has a good cast/director, very funny, and kids will love it, and adam sandler... well is adam sandler.
