JokerMichel For kids , this movie would be good . But I wouldn't recommend it for anyone . The plot is fine and the script is not that bad , but for sure it was only destined for kids ... The CGI was so bad

Ross622 Adam Shankman's Bedtime Stories is very unlike Adam Sandler's usual goofy acting method in his comedies. But the only reason that he actually gave a good performance in this movie is that he did not work with Dennis Dugan who directed him in terrible movies like Grown Ups (2010), and Jack and Jill (2011). The movie begins with Marty Bronson (played by Jonathan Pryce) builds the Sunny Vista Motel with the help of his son Skeeter and his daughter Wendy and intends on raising them in the motel, when Skeeter's dad isn't making very good profits and Marty's motel ends up going bankrupt and sells the motel to Barry Nottingham (played by Richard Griffiths) who is going to hire Skeeter (played by Adam Sandler) a job there as a general manager. Not only this is a terrific family movie the acting is to me very well done because the chemistry between him and Wendy (played by Courtney Cox) is not very good when they are both grownups, But the chemistry between him and Jill (played by Keri Russell is actually hilarious. I would consider this movie as on e of the best movies of 2008 because not only that Sandler gives the best performance of his career, but that the movie gives an actual Disney story like never seen before. But some people may not like this movie when they say it is sad when it actually really good, as well as a great supporting cast besides Cox, Russell, and Griffiths, as well as Guy Pearce, Russell Brand etc.A definite A+

Shopaholic35 This movie was rather enjoyable from a fairytale perspective. Although it wasn't true to Adam Sandler's usual type of comedy it was refreshing to see. It has your typical taken advantage of character who through perseverance comes out on top while the villain gets whats coming to them. It was predictable to the core but that is why it was a good movie. The reason for watching this sort of movie is because you can count on it to be predictable and provide you with a happy ending.The kids are great in the movie too. They have lots of energy and are adorable. It was also nice to see Kerri Russell in a role like this. She suited her character well and was a perfect ying to Adam Sandler's yang.When I allowed myself to forget the negative reviews of this movie I was able to truly enjoy it and I'm glad I gave it a second chance. I promise it really is not as bad as you think if you leave your expectations at the door.

Claudio Carvalho In 1974, Marty Bronson (Jonathan Pryce) builds the Sunny Vista Motel in Los Angeles, California, with the intention of raising his son Skeeter and his daughter Wendy in the place where he works. However he is not a good businessman and the hotel goes bankruptcy. Marty is forced to sell his motel to Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths) that promises to hire Skeeter in a general manager position when he grown up. Years later, Barry builds a new hotel; forgets his promise to Marty; and Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) is only the handyman of his hotel. The general manager is the arrogant Kendall (Guy Pearce), who is engaged with the shallow Barry's daughter Violet Nottingham (Teresa Palmer).When the Webster Elementary School where Wendy (Courteney Cox) is the principal will be closed to be demolished, she needs to travel to Arizona for a job interview. Wendy asks her friend Jill (Keri Russell), who is teacher in the same school, to watch her son Patrick and her daughter Bobbi during the day and Skeeter to watch them during the night. Skeeter meets the estranged kids with his best friend Mickey (Russell Brand) and makes up bedtime stories to help them to sleep but the kids add details to the stories, changing their endings. Soon Skeeter realizes that the plot of the stories are coming true and affecting his life. Meanwhile Barry Nottingham decides to give a change to Skeeter to dispute the manager position in his new hotel with Kendall like in one of his stories. But Skeeter has told to his nephew and his niece that stories do not have happy endings."Bedtime Stories" is a family entertainment from the Disney Studios surprisingly good. Adam Sandler is very funny in this fantasy and it is impressive how this actor that is not handsome and actually has a sort of stupid face shines with his charisma. I have seen most of his movies and enjoyed most of them. Based on the Metascore (33/100), I dare to say that fortunately I am not a professional critic. "Bedtime Stories" is not a movie to win awards in any film festival but is a delightful fantasy to be appreciated by those that have the concept of family and dreams. It might be very sad to have the absence of these feelings in the heart and give such low rating to this beautiful fantasy. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Um Faz de Conta que Acontece" ("A Make Beliefe that Happens")
