BEDTIME STORIES: Sweet as a gumballI didn't like this movie at first. Adam Sandler seemed to sleepwalk the first half, perhaps on purpose. Most children's films (Shrek being notable) have something, even if subtly, to offer for the adults who brought their children to the movie to enjoy. I can't say that I felt or saw anything comparable. Sandler is the Uncle to a pair of children and a bizarro guinea pig who ends up telling bedtime stories that turn out to show an incredible similarity to incidents in the real world. Sure, predictable and not that great, but all the same, I felt warm and happy at the end of it. Cute enough for children, but no Emmy winner.
Nibble: For the children, not for the adults.
