A new year is here and here we have a new Adam Sandler movie lurking in the bushes. But what’s this we see? It’s a joint production with Disney? Are kids really ready for barf, fart and loser jokes all at the same time? Are adults ready for a cross eyed hamster and laugh machine galore? Either way, you’d better buy some hot dogs before you get into the cinema.
Most of the film's budget went towards animating a crappy pet
The movie revolves around Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) who works in a hotel and aspires to one day run an actual hotel of his own. The only problem is, he’s only a handyman. One day, Skeeter’s sister has to go out of town for job interviews. He is then entrust to take care of his lil’ nephew and his lil’ niece while their mother is out of town. Being the loser uncle that he is, taking care of children does seem like a chore and the only form of entertainment he can come up with are his Bedtime Stories. But what starts out as merely tall tales and fantasy, soon start to turn into reality as Skeeter realises that the very stories he tells them the night before, come to life the very next day! ZOIKS!
Putting aside the fact that it’s a Disney movie, there are loads of trademark Adam Sandler type of humour in this film. You’ve got the typical “I am a loser” type of jokes as well as “the moral of the story is..”type of Disney feel to it. It is a good mix and its not surprising that this isn’t the first time Adam Sandler had dived into the children genre (he did a cartoon a while back called 8 crazy nights). Most of his friends are in this film as well so do expect a lot of trademark jokes. On the hindsight, this probably isn’t his best work but with other crappy movies out now, this doesn’t seem like such a bad pick. I would recommend you to at least watch it and you should come out smiling and feeling a bit hungry.
Rating – 3/5
