Bedtime Stories

Bedtime Stories

If you are the one person in the world who isn't tired of Adam Sandler yet, you are the target demographic for Bedtime Stories, which looks like it's basically Sandler being Sandler. Granted, it's a kids' movie, so it might be a little tamer than usual. No sex in the backroom after hair appointments or anything like that. But still. Sandler, tame or otherwise, is still Sandler. Honestly, the most annoying thing about the guy is his whole overgrown man-child thing, and in a movie geared at children, he will probably go hog wild with that.

Judging by the trailer, it looks like Sandler plays a guy named Skeeter, who's basically a loser, but who loves his little kids. He's like the idiot uncle or something. And there's a giant cartoonish gerbil. Oh, and Courteney Cox Arquette. How sad for her that she's back to being the girl in a goofball's starring vehicle, just like back in the Ace Ventura days with Jim Carrey. Anyway, Skeeter tells the kids stories and then Sandler appears in each scenario. And then the stories start coming true. Sandler says: "That's weird." I say: "Exactly." Russell Brand makes a brief appearance, though, so that might be funny, at least. But do you know what's not funny? Adam Sandler spraying flame-resistant Christmas tree spray in his eye to prove that another guy is a wuss for thinking it hurts. Again, idiot uncle. Key word being idiot.
