Bedtime Stories

 "Oh not more Adam Sandler" you may be groaning.  Yes more Mr Sandler, but this time he's toned it down [a bit] I promise.  And this movie has a plot and some great cameos (I'm looking at you Russell Brand you fabulous thing).

This time Adam Sandler plays the lovable uncle left with his niece and nephew for a week while his uptight sister is out of town.  He treats them to forbidden food and stories at bedtime.  Stories which come to life in weird and unexpected ways.

There is the predictable love/hate interest, the ridiculous showdown and the bad guys get their comeuppance, all done in a Sanderesque way.  Fans of the guy will be glad he didn't include too many off colour jokes for the kids, not fans may not want to kill themselves.

Rating:  We like a bit of Adam now and then so we enjoyed it.  We'd probably only watch this one once in a while but we loved the imaginative worlds he conjured and the over the top characters.

Naughty bits:  There is the usual crass Sandler language (Sir Buttkiss) but nothing too serious, not to mention the obligatory fart jokes etc.  There are a couple of scary monsters so young kids might get frightened but older kids won't blink an eye at this one.

Snacks:  Wheatgrass cake.  Nah, have some real food like a cheeseburger (Bugsy's favourite)

Family In-quotes: "For Frrrrreeeeeee!!!"
