While a film about dreams coming true should be enchanting and whimsical, this product will only mildly entertain in a dull and predictable way.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 3, 2024

A big budget Disney fantasy with an all-starish cast of good actors that falls completely flat.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 31, 2021

If you don't care for Sandler's brand of comedy, then there's little to no chance you'll give a hoot about the PG-rated version of a Sandler film.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 2, 2020

A potentially interesting movie that comes crashing down as hard as that proverbial beanstalk.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 18, 2019

Bedtime Stories is undoubtedly one for the kids but, with its bright and breezy tone and old-fashioned, inoffensive charm, it may well win over a few of their parents too.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2019

Bedtime Stories is one of those stories told at bedtime: safe, comforting and predictable. But there is a topping: it has Adam Sandler, a hero whose main virtue isn't his looks, kingdom or valour but a likeability that helps you overlook all of it.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

There's nothing fresh in Sandler's role that you haven't seen in almost every movie he's ever done -- the same mumbly, underachiever-schlub notes he's been hitting for years, only taken down a notch for his first PG-rated comedy.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 28, 2011

A family-friendly Adam Sandler movie that, even with its strained plot developments, is tame without being lame.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 14, 2009

If you are forced to attend, then at least Bedtime Stories is tolerable, and occasionally fun -- when it forgets to be dumb.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 27, 2009

...ultimately comes off as the most entertaining Adam Sandler comedy to hit theaters since 2004's 50 First Dates...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 1, 2009

Enjoyable, silly and a wee bit whimsical. It's also treacherously predictable at times, the two leads lack chemistry and it has the token horrible Rob Schneider cameo.

The real charm of Bedtime Stories is how it works as a family film.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 18, 2009

Given that Sandler's main appeal has always been to the 12-year-old in all of us, it probably makes sense for him to aim his movies directly at that age group.

Full Review | Original Score: 64/100 | Apr 6, 2009

A big step backward for director Adam Shankman ('Hairspray').

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 6, 2009

Bedtime Stories lacks the required thrills, imagination, comedy and drama required to be a truly entertaining family film.

| Original Score: 2.5/10 | Jan 31, 2009

Guy Pearce abraça o embaraço com toda a vontade, mas nem isso salva esta porcaria constrangedoramente mal escrita, atuada e dirigida do fracasso. Um filme de Adam Sandler para crianças: alguém alerte a UNICEF.

I've seen better special effects in Troma releases...

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 7, 2009

Far from another Jumanji, any magic director Shankman tries to inject is squashed by Sandler's distressingly annoying turn, while Russell Brand and Keri Russell look uncomfortably crowbarred in.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 5, 2009
