Bedtime Stories

Posted: 12/16/08 at 1:41am

Just came back from a press screening of "Bedtime Stories" and I have to say, I really enjoyed the film. Sometimes Adam Sandler movies really can be annoying, but this one is funny and really is for the whole family. I have to say Russell Brand steals some of the scenes in it and actually doesn't come off as creepy.

Adam Shankman does a very nice job directing and even adds a little musical shout-out written by Marc Shaiman.

I see this doing extremely well at the box office, and must say that I will recommend this to many people.

Has anyone else seen it?

I must admit that "Inkstorm" looks to be the better of the two movies, the clip for Bedtime makes it look really cheesey

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Offensive to children and grown-ups everywhere. This movie was a nasty mess of pandering BS and unearned sentiment, with two or three genuinely funny moments thrown in just to keep you off balance.

I'm a big fan of imaginative movies geared towards kids, but this was just insulting. Worse than Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium!

I saw it with a friend, and I thought it was stupid but entertaining. There were a few parts that seemed really funny-- I actually thought Russell Brand was very funny, especially when he talked about smearing ketchup on his face-- and I really liked the *non-racist* fantasy sequences, the girls who randomly did the hokey-pokey, and the stupid cell phone ring-tone. Richard Griffiths was brilliant, and Guy Pearce was wonderfully hateful. Also, I loved the little Broadway medley, spotting all of the characters.

But so much of the movie was SO. FORCED. About eighty-five percent of the jokes fell flat. The romance was painfully forced as well. I didn't understand what was up with the guinea pig and its eyes. Adam Sandler was... unfunny. The plot made it impossible to suspend my disbelief. I felt like it could have been a pretty good movie if it... wasn't Adam Sandler.

Guy Pearce was great. Keri Russell had two levels - bitchy and googly-eyed.

It's racist too?
Well, then, I will certainly not watch it.

Rob Schneider has a few cameos as a Native American. They're not funny. (Uh, the cameos... not Native Americans...)

Oh. I thought this was going to be about actual bedtime stories, and I was coming in to rhapsodise about some of my favourite audi books and plays-on-CD. I don't think you can beat Neil Gaiman reading The Graveyard Book for a bedtime story, but Sam West reading Peter Pan has to come pretty close.

I'd quite like Tom Hiddleston to read me a bedtime story. I'd just really like to have a slumber party with him...

I remember the time I read that book about the Ebola virus before going to bed... I had sweet dreams that night...dreams about liquefying monkeys, zombies vomiting blood, and (bizarrely) Wilbur Robinson.

Or he could stand at the side of the bed and rant at you as though you were Ivanov.

I don't care what he says, I just dig his voice. There's a reason I have Othello on my iPod y'know, and it's not *just* because handkerchief drama makes for the best tragedy.

Rob Schneider is actually part Filipino. Does that make it any better?
