Oh, people are being generous to this film

I saw Bedtime Stories a while back but this was a film I couldn't believe how much I didn't like this film, it was absolutely ridicules and I'm sorry but it insults even the children's intelligence. Adam Sandler, I'm going to tell a story: Once upon a time, a man named Adam Sandler made over a million dollars doing baby voices, he also released several movies. Some being hits(i.e. The Wedding Singer) and some being huge misses(i.e. You Don't Mess With The Zohan). He was a funny man but for some odd reason decided to choose to make some really lousy choices in film. Bedtime Stories is one of them, it's extremely predictable and beyond stupid. I couldn't believe all the cliché's in this film not to mention, I love how in every Disney film they have to have an "adorable" animal steal the screen, which this one wasn't even adorable, it was down right disturbing. I don't even know if I should sum up the story since it's predictable, but if you wanna know.

Skeeter Bronson is a hotel leader who is promised as a child by his father Marty to be the manager of the family hotel, but later it is bought by chain Nottingham Hotels. 25 years later, the new manager Mr. Nottingham plans to build a new hotel and appoints another man, the snotty Kendall to become the manager, because he is dating his daughter. Skeeter's sister asks him to watch her kids, because the school at which she is the principal is being closed and she is looking for a job in Arizona. The first night, Skeeter tells a bedtime story taking place in medieval times, with some additions from her kids. It comes true. Mr. Nottingham gives Skeeter a shot at the manager position when he says his new hotel theme was taken by Hard Rock Hotel and on his way home it rains gumballs, all from the story. The next night, at the hotel, he tells another story set in the Old West, and when he waits for it to come true, a man steals his wallet. He saves Mr. Nottingham's daughter, Violet , from the paparazzi and gets kicked by a dwarf. The night after that, out on a campfire, he tells them about a Greek stunt man, and he ends up falling for his sister's friend and fellow colleague Jill. The last night, he tells them about a space fight, and unfortunately makes the discovery, and they change the ending to him being hit by a gigantic ball of fire.

Bedtime Stories has it's occasional laughs, but it seems like this was more made for a 4 year old. The characters are not developed or really likable. Adam Sandler has made a career on making stupid baby voices, I mean, how is it that this man gets several million dollars on doing that? But if that's what people like to see, I'm just glad that I got to see this for free. It wasted my time, it wasn't cute, the cast was out of place and the kids were annoying as heck. I wouldn't really recommend watching this movie, it's not even a good family movie. I'm sorry, but a 6.2 rating is beyond too generous for this stupid movie.
