February 23, 2010I have not liked many of Adam Sandlres latest movies but this one well, i did. I laughed, thought it was funny cute, not bad at all. Was expecting a really bad movie but instead got a nice little family film that me and my daughter enjoyed.

Full of fun - cast... read more

January 29, 2012The movie's premise is more interesting than the movie itself. It's a bit too kid friendly to be classed as a family movie and essentialy its another unfunny Adam Sandler flick.

October 2, 2010Family-friendly "Bedtime Stories" hinges on the talents of two Adams: Sandler and Shankman.
Both Adams have confounding success in Hollywood. Sandler's box office track record is impeccable - his name above the marquee of a comedy practically guarantees $100 million gross a... read more

An innocuous but haphazard family comedy that seems less crafted for children than dreamed up by a team of them. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
For a creative premise, it's downright dispiriting to see such a banal interpretation. Full Review

Daniel Getahun, Minneapolis Star Tribune
It's a delightfully innocent movie that the actor can actually show to his two baby daughters without blushing. Full Review

Richard Griffiths best gets the antic spirit of this enterprise, relishing his multiple roles as Sandler's phobic boss and several fantasy characters. Full Review

It's a sweet kids movie and I commend Sandler for trying something different in his career. Full Review

If you listen carefully to the strains of 'When You Wish Upon a Star' during the Disney corporate intro, you may hear Walt moaning in his grave. Full Review

Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle
For prepubescent kids, Bedtime Stories will be a perfectly enjoyable work -- a PG-rated introduction to a heralded comic actor trying to inspire a new generation of Adam Sandler fans. Full Review

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
In Bedtime Stories the pain of this artistic limbo is written all over Adam Sandler's character, a resentful hotel handyman named Skeeter.
