Movie: Bedtime Stories


Hotel handyman Skeeter Bronson's life is changed forever when the bedtime stories he tells his niece and nephew start to mysteriously come true. He attempts to take advantage of the phenomenon, incorporating his own aspirations into one outlandish tale after another, but it's the kids' unexpected

While watching the trailer, the movie seemed interesting. Imagine telling a story and then it comes to life the next day. Nice. I found the movie too 'pambata'. Well, I guess that was really their target audience. The bedtime stories were somewhat crazy. Imagine a cowboy having a red horse (not the beer) with a black mane and named Ferrari. Crazy huh?

If there's one thing that stuck to me, it was the fact that in life there are no happy endings. We are all bound to pass away at some point and that is not one happy ending for those we leave behind. Though in the movie, Skeeter (Sandler) made the kids believe this reality, the director somewhat opted to end the movie in a positive light. Just like every old school fairy tale we know.
