Bedtime Stories (2008)
EW's GRADE
DDetails Release Date: Dec 25, 2008; Rated: PG; Length: 98 Minutes; Genres: Comedy, Fantasy, Kids & Family; With: Adam Sandler
Kids love Adam Sandler, who has played more than his share of men who would be boys, so a cockeyed kiddie fantasy flick ought to be a natural fit for him. But Bedtime Stories is even worse than his innocuous Hanukkah cartoon, Eight Crazy Nights (2002). It's a dispirited, galumphing mess in which Sandler, as a hotel handyman who spins out tall tales for his niece and nephew, pictures himself in assorted historical-kitsch guises (doofus medieval peasant, doofus Wild West cowpoke, doofus space warrior, etc.), all of which add up to a soggier sponge cake of a time-trip burlesque than Mel Brooks' History of the World: Part I.
