Synopsis: Skeeter Bronson is just an average fix-it guy for a massive hotel with his own problems and annoyances to take care of when his Sister, Wendy has to leave for a week and leaves her kids, Patrick and Bobby in Skeeters care. He only has to take the "night shift" and Wendy's friend, Jill takes care of the kids during the day while they're at school. However, on Skeeters first night with the kids, they ask him to tell them a bedtime story... and the next day, it comes true.
My Take: I don't like Adam
Sandler, I don't like movies about public school, I don't like crude humor, and I don't like the movie Bedtime Stories.
Basically, it was one Hollywood propaganda message after another with crude humor thrown in everywhere, a poor storyline, and barely a scene without immodestly dressed women. There were some funny lines, and I gotta admit, the idea had some potential, but I'm afraid they butchered whatever good there was left in it.
I know this is going to be a very short review, but I've basically said all there is to say about this disgusting movie wearing the mask of a kids film.
Sorry, Mr.
Shankman, but your movie just plain stinks.
