Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Otaku_Critic Bedtime Stories is a kids movie. What's wrong is a lot of people hated this movie. Why? Maybe because Adam Sandler is in it. Personally I don't hate Adam Sandler because there's really no reason to hate him.Anyway about the movie, it is quite entertaining and funny. Not bad actually. The way things happen in this movie will surely make you laugh. For me at least it's not bad because the way I see movie is different from other people. Maybe a movie is good depending how the audience sees it.In conclusion, Bedtime Stories is entertaining. Not great not also bad. A good movie for the family to watch.
Johan Dondokambey The movie's story opens up slowly giving out the background for Skeeter and Wendy. The main plot focus or conflict is then built steadily but fast, telling the first bedtime story and the subsequent realization the next day. It's just quite bad that Skeeter seems to make a connection between the stories and reality that fast, although that for a fact he turns out to be quite a realistic character, considering his tough remark to the kids about life. The acting is decently okay in overall. Adam Sandler as usual bring out all the necessarily emotions for each scene. Courteney Cox and Rusell Brand give out nice colour to the story. The kids give out really balancing acting along side of Adam Sandler.
samacer00 Literally , it can't get any better. This is so fun,a very very delighting piece of cinema. Not just smiles or chuckles you gonna laugh out a hell outta you. every minute is entertaining. Now one must be a psychopath to give this film a lower score or any less appraisal than a perfect 10. I guess most people living out today had become followers to learn and get things quickly, no creativity no original idea means no satisfaction or proud either. Perhaps they are following rottentomatoes critics but you can bet on me those dumbs just played there usual crap. I mean toy story 3 100% you watch these two films and could easily get to know that the toy story is way way boring than this masterpiece. I am no other guy here, no following== watch my favorite like the dark Knight. Shawshank redemption. The other guys. One flew over the cuckoo nest. 50 first date. Borat. etc etc and avoid I mean take a sleep instead watching. Lawrence of Arabia. Godfather. Goodfellas. Pulp fiction. Dr strange love and the bomb. They are totally ridiculous worst acting. Linear storyline. Awful direction . altogether nothing dynamic in all the movie. not every old movie was poor a few like 12 angry men. Psycho. Good bad and ugly are truly decent works.Don't make a fool of yourself. you are born human . act wisely . decide yourself. use it.....
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")
