Bedtime Stories

Rating: 7.4/10

Genre: Comedy

Overall value for money and time: 7.4/10

A lighthearted family comedy about a hotel's handyman, Skeeter (Adam Sandler), who's big boss made a promise to Skeeter's dad to allow him to run the hotel one day. However, the big boss did not fulfill his promise. There was a change of events when Skeeter realises the bedtime stories he tells to his niece and nephew came true in real life. If you're wondering how ridiculous it would be for creatures like dragons and mermaids to be popping out of nowhere in the movie, then you're in for a pleasant surprise. Everything mentioned in the bedtime stories would appear realistically in real life, so don't worry about absurdity. Courteney Cox stars as Adam Sandler's sister, a refreshing face to be seen in the movies, and the little girl who stars as his niece is extremely adorable. Guy Pearce acts as the comedy villian, a role miles apart from his usual solemn movies. The humor is great, made complete with a talented comedy cast, while the plot of the movie has an equilibrium of fantasy and reality. This film makes a good movie for audiences of all ages, genders, and races.
