     Bedtime Stories
2008  PG  COMEDY  1h 39min
CAST— Adam Sandler, Keri Russell, Guy Pearce, Russell Brand, Richard Griffiths, Jonathan Pryce, Courtney Cox, Lucy Lawless, Teresa Palmer
MUSIC— Rupert Gregson-Williams  DIRECTOR— Adam Shankman

     Adam Sandler brings his juvenile antics to the screen once again in this family-friendly fantasy/comedy. When hotel repairman Sandler agrees to babysit his niece and nephew he gets suckered into telling them a bedtime story each night. Rather than rely upon books that teach a moral he decides to invent his own stories, with the kids adding crucial plot points when needed. These fantastic tales entertain, sure, but something odd begins to happen; events in his life begin to mirror those in the stories. Soon he begins twisting the stories to meet his own desires… but will the kids play along? Interesting enough premise, but Sandler’s “lovable loser” image has pretty much lost its momentum. Pretty much kid’s stuff.
