I am a huge Adam Sandler fan and last week went to see Bedtime Stories with my 8 year old daughter. We saw the movie and loved it.
This week I saw a movie review for Bedtime Stories in one of our local free weekly papers and they tried to dismiss the movie as a simple morality tale that shows coincidences as making the hapless hero (Adam Sandler) to be successful.
Well this is the formula that Adam Sandler uses in most of his movies but who cares if it is shallow or if there is not enough “character development” in an Adam Sandler movie. They are funny moves review it on being funny, how many rimes you laughed, how many times everyone laughed, how you felt when you left.
I loved the movie like I love all Adam Sandler movies, be it Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, 50 First Dates, Mr Deeds, Big Daddy, the Wedding Singer or any other of these funny funny funny movies.
One more thing. Some Adam Sandler is for kids and some is for adults, in this case Bedtime Stories was written for kids and there are no uncomfortable parts for adults bringing kids like in Little Nicky or Anger Management.
See the movie and laugh and then laugh at the critics that will say that it is not Oscar potential becasue it is not supposed to be anyway.
