Bedtime Stories (DVD)

So me and my sister have just sat down and watched Bedtime stories on a rental DVD and I just have to say I am so glad it was rental film. Although we enjoyed it at first and we did give it a good go and watched it all, I think it was an extremely silly film which I expected but I just got fed up of it and started writing this review.

He got promised the Hotel when he was older but when this did not happen he became the handyman at the Hotel and feels like he need some help with his life.

Adam Sandler in a kid's film? But not just any kids film, a Disney film? Surely not was what I thought but within the first few minutes you are graced to the word 'Bloody' and suddenly the film starts to look a lot more appealing.

Bedtime Stories had been on our dvd list since seeing a trailer for it at the cinema. My husband had been particularly keen to see it while I was so-so. I enjoy Adam Sandler's films and often enjoy children's films. However, I suspected this might be a watered down version of both.
