Critic Reviews

Jonathan Curiel

A fun bit of escapism that's even tender in spots. Read full review

Roger Ebert

This is a harmless and pleasant Disney comedy and one of only three family movies playing over the holidays. Read full review

James Berardinelli

This is a rare time when young ones will get more out of a Sandler movie than their parents, who may have grown up with him when he was on "Saturday Night Live." Read full review

Claudia Puig

The fantasy segments, played up in trailers, get bogged down amid the ho-hum tale of a loser making good. Read full review

Joe Neumaier

Sandler's shambling Yogi Bear-ness will be the big appeal to holiday-vacation audiences. Read full review

Kyle Smith

Sandler's bizarrely clunky kiddie flick, is a sort of upside-down "Princess Bride." Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

As a PG-rated film opening on Christmas Day under the Disney banner, Bedtime Stories would seem to promise fairly wholesome family entertainment. What it delivers is the glitzy allure of a hotel setting, smarmy double entendres, Ferrari lust, Beverly Hills bling and pneumatic babes -- one of the characters is a surrogate Paris Hilton.

3.8 and 33? This is ridiculous. This movie was very funny. Although definitely at times a kid movie, it was still hilarious for adults. Adam Sandler does his normal comedy routine, with a mix of several different stories. I watched this with one of my best friends, we're both in our 3.8 and 33? This is ridiculous. This movie was very funny. Although definitely at times a kid movie, it was still hilarious for adults. Adam Sandler does his normal comedy routine, with a mix of several different stories. I watched this with one of my best friends, we're both in our mid twenties, and we both found it to be very funny. The comedy? Very funny and for adults. The plot, romance, and serious moments? Definitely for children (corny) This deserves at least a 6, and for a children's movie at least an 8. Im giving it a 10 to offset what I believe is a very unfair low score. Id watch this a second time, no problem.… Expand

A surprisingly fun and imaginative family film. The overused "divorced mom" sideplot was a unnecessary and the ending was somewhat bland, but Adam Sandler was really fun to watch throughout (wow, did I really just say that?), and the blending of fantasy and reality was shockingly restrained,A surprisingly fun and imaginative family film.

First, i would like to say that zt just committed plagerism by copy/paste the "wall st. journal" review. Second, this movie is the lowest most unfunny form of funny that you can imagine. It aloso SHOULD NOT be titled as a disney movie.
