(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 19% Rotten Page   1   "Boasts a great idea about bedtime stories that come to life the next day, so it's a shame this film fails to be enjoyable for all age groups."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker C+ "Sandler's mischievous heart just doesn't belong in a straight-up kid zone like Bedtime Stories, especially one with a script that doesn't elevate beyond the expected."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf C "Adam Sandler tones down his normally racy humor effectively, but the lightweight story is a one-note sidestep."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 3.5/5 "It's a little odd that making a film for children has almost made Adam Sandler grow up."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 2.5/4 "...ultimately comes off as the most entertaining Adam Sandler comedy to hit theaters since 2004's 50 First Dates..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "The film does have some nice moments, but the plot is underdeveloped and overstuffed. Bedtime Stories is not nearly as funny or magical as it could have—and should have—been."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman D+ "It takes two bad genres -- live-action Disney dreck and lowest-common-denominator Sandler humor -- and blends them into one unfunny mess."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C "As family fare goes...distinctly middle-grade. It won't put you to sleep, but it's not likely to enchant you either."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "For a creative premise, it's downright dispiriting to see such a banal interpretation."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Bedtime Stories tries to be charming and whimsical, but while charm and whimsy, like love, can be helped by great sums of money, charm and whimsy, like love, cannot be created by great sums of money."   Redbox   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 3.5/5 "The real charm of Bedtime Stories is how it works as a family film."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr "[C]heap and lazy and obvious..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "The very definition of a disposable, kid-quieting fluff, done in a predictably Sandler way (read: watch out for Rob Schneider's umpteenth variation on the 'You can do it!' schtick)."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 1/5 "I've seen better special effects in Troma releases..."   Film Threat   Michael Ferraro B- "Once upon a time there was a movie studio that tried to make a hit with a guy best known for raunchy slacker comedies. This story does not turn out happily ever after."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 2/4 "Adam Shankman's holiday adventure has a big central concept and next to no desire to follow through on reasonably--much less fully--exploiting it."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2.5/5 "The script for this childish comedy is genuinely witty, and nicely played by the cast, but it would have been much more enjoyable if the plot had been a bit more innovative. Or if it actually went somewhere."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 1/4 "At least he's not flinging vomit at anybody..."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   Rob Vaux "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."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 3/10 "An imaginative idea that's never fully developed."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 19% Rotten Page   1
