If
you
could
decide
your
life
story
as
it
unravelled,
wouldn't
it
have
a
much
happier
ending?
Bedtime
Stories
gives
you
a
taste
of
just
how
that
would
be
fun
at
times,
dreary
at
others.
Skeeter
Bronson
(Adam
Sandler)
is
tired
of
being
the
janitor
at
an
upbeat
resort
that
was
once
owned
by
his
father
Marty
Bronson
(Jonathon
Pryce).
Marty,
an
inept
businessman,
sold
the
motel
to
the
cunning
Barry
Nottingham
(Richard
Griffiths),
when
the
latter
promised
to
make
Marty's
son
the
motel
manager
(when
he
grew
up,
of
course).
Well,
it's
a
while
now
since
that
son
is
grown
up
and
all
he
has
is
the
thankless
job
of
a
janitor
and
fast-fading
dreams
of
being
promoted
to
manager.
So
when
his
divorced
sister,
leaves
her
kids
and
their
guinea
pig
in
his
custody
for
a
few
days,
he's
really
in
no
mood
to
entertain.
But
he
does
try
his
hand
at
telling
a
story,
which
would
have
been
the
most
boring
tale
had
the
kids
not
pitched
in
with
their
own
ideas.
Even
then,
it
would
have
remained
but
a
whimsical
children's
story,
until
the
strangest
thing
happens
-
the
story
becomes
real,
and,
now
it's
up
to
Skeeter
to
use
this
newfound
magic
to
help
make
his
dreams
a
reality.
It's
a
nice
story
with
some
interesting
twists,
but
somehow,
Adam
Sandler
seems
to
be
tired
of
doing
these
boyish
comic
roles.
With
2008's
Reign
On
Me,
he
seemed
to
be
making
a
statement
that
he
is
now
ready
for
serious
and
more
mature
roles,
but
since
directors
are
used
to
giving
him
roles
that
make
him
out
to
be
a
silly,
over
grown
kid,
the
poor
guy
is
stuck
in
a
rut.
The
movie
does
offer
a
number
of
laugh
worthy
moments
and
director
Adam
Shankman
has
tried
his
best
to
keep
it
happy
-
from
the
characters
to
the
ending,
the
film
is
all
feel
good.
So
if
you
want
some
cheering
up,
Bedtime
Stories
is
sure
to
do
it
for
you.
