What: Bedtime Stories
Where: Sullivan 6 - the only movie theater near Jonathan's home town (it's only about 30 miles away)
Why: It looked cute (plus, there wasn't much choice)
This movie was really cute! The previews kind-of give away the basic premise. Adam Sandler (Skeeter) is babysitting his niece and nephew for 5 days. His dad used to tell him awesome bedtime stories, so he decides to keep the tradition alive.
He tells them one story, and the next day it comes to life! I'm sure we've all seen the 'raining gumballs' scene. I figured all the stories would come to life unrealistically (like - it was actually raining gumballs), but it was actually 100% realistic, which I really appreciated. I like a good old fashioned relatively realistic movie. It actually wasn't raining gumballs, but a gumball truck has crashed (on an overhang bridge), so gum was falling out of the truck onto Adam Sandler below (although he thought it was some kind of magic).
When he realizes his stories are coming to life, he tries to tell stories that will help out him with his dead end job, and help out his niece and nephew. Unfortunately, the kids just want a funny story, so they always end up with Skeeter not getting 100 million dollars, but he gets stuck in the rain instead.
In true Adam Sandler form, you'll see a cameo from Nick Swardsen, Rob Schneider, the QB from Water Boy, and more of his buddies.
I highly recommend this movie! It works for adults and kids alike.
