Review of Bedtime Stories (2002) by Mohammad Javad H — 27 Dec 2012

Good movie...

This movie is not Oscar material. Of course, that's not it's intent. The folks who made this wanted to put out a movie that kids would like and they did it. Sandler is clean in this film which will please parents. He's also quite funny which will please kids. This is a funny movie with a good heart. It doesn't pretend to be anything more than just a good, fun movie for kids to watch. Sandler plays his typical character, a loser with a heart of gold, this time named Skeeter Bronson. Sandler also finds a role for best friend Rob Schneider. Richard Griffiths is delightful as the germophobe hotel magnate, and Courtney Cox plays Skeeter's sister. It's obvious the actors had fun making this movie. The direction is light and fun, and the movie's pace is quick and engaging. Don't expect to be dazzled, just expect to laugh some I enjoyed that.
