I bet any amount of money that I know why this movie is so underrated. It's because people planned it to be an Oscar-worthy film, which it is NOT INTENDED TO BE. It's just supposed to be a cute little family... Full review

I saw Bedtime Stories a while back but this was a film I couldn't believe how much I didn't like this film, it was absolutely ridicules and I'm sorry but it insults even the children's intelligence. Adam Sandler, I'm going to... Full review

The thing about Bedtime Stories is that it is light, funny, easy to digest and all around great for the whole family. It's just like any other Sandler's movies except this one doesn't contain any only-for-adults jokes. It might not be... Full review

Despite being a much milder and family-friendly flick, Bedtime Stories will not disappoint Adam Sandler fans provided they accept that they have to share him with a much younger audience as well. Bedtime Stories is a PG-rated comedy about hotel maintenance... Full review

This movie is super entertaining. I honestly don't understand why some people don't like it. Adam Sandler and everyone else in this movie were great. Adam Sandler can definitely act in any kind of movie he chooses to, he's a great... Full review

I was expecting another tacky platitude, similar to the unwatchable "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium", the unacceptable "Night at the Museum", the sugary "Charlotte's Web", and sundry other brainless and uninspired productions of the recent years which seem to bank on the... Full review

I found this movie entertaining and imaginative. I didn't have high expectations, but was delightfully surprised and laughed out loud several times. It's even made me change my opinion of Adam Sandler, who I thought was at best suited to 'bathroom'... Full review

Surprisingly "Bedtime Stories" played it remarkably straight rather than fantasy, however, it doing so it played it somewhat chaotically and unevenly and it felt like it. The overall plot was simple, but effective and meaningful for children. One possibly cut scene... Full review
I do not like Adam Sandler in this movie. Ever since Spanglish I have not been able to enjoy one of his films. The plot wasn't bad though, but I would not reccomend it.
Everyone was told stories when they were younger. Now imagine if those stories were actually coming true? Great plot. Bedtimes Stories had me laughing and in awe of some of the special effects. Adam Sandler always has a way to throw in a variety of humor into any film, but this one was clean cut. It's a movie that anybody of any age can watch. The stories that are though up are a little extreme. They are not bad though. I couldn't imagine having to actually survive some of these situations. If you have low expectations of this movie I think you will get surprised. I thought that the jokes were original and used at the right times to get a snicker out of me. The guinea pig jokes were getting old by the end of the movie. There should have been just a few less of those. I think i had nightmares about those jokes. The movie made me think of how when I was young I had a wild imagination and it seemed as though my dreams were real. A must see for family night.

Sandler, who recently became a father for the first time, reportedly was keen to make a comedy that was family friendly.....this is not a role that suits the talented Pearce....Sandler is nicely contrasted by the lovely and feminine Keri Russell (notable in Waitress) who brings warmth and heart to the proceedings.....If you like Adam Sandler's loud.... ...
