Bedtime Stories [Blu-ray]

I was living in Norfolk Virginia during this time and fortunately persuaded my husband to see Bedtime Stories with me at the movie theater(inside the MacArthur Center mall). The bonus features attributed to the Bedtime Stories dvd movie are sneaks on; Double Feature dvd of Dadnapped and Hatching Pete, Morning Light, Disney Princess Protection Program, Walt Disney Pictures; Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure, what looks to be a commercial ad for Disney XD, G-Force, Walt Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney Pixar Monsters Inc., Disney Blue Ray Magic in High-Def, and Disney Magic movie rewards. The actual Bedtime Stories movie stars Adam Sandler as Skeeter Bronson. Skeeter Bronson puts a lot in his hotel job and is surprised one day when he finds out that his boss Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths) promotes Kendall Duncan (Guy Pearce)for the job that he was sure was his. It was not from Skeeter Bronson having a sense of entitlement, rather it had to do more with how hard he was working and the original promise that Griffiths had made to this father Marty Bronson (Jonathan Pryce). Duncan is shown to be so crude and calculating to the point that he even dates the boss’s daughter Violet Nottingham (Teresa Palmer), but secretly carries a romantic torch for fellow hotel worker Aspen (Lucy Lawless). Skeeter’s friend Mickey (Russell Brand) tries to patiently explain to Skeeter Bronson why Duncan was chosen but Bronson appears to avoid taking Mickey’s suggestion (for certain reasons). Anyhow, in the meanwhile, Skeeter Bronson is also tasked with watching his niece Bobbi (Laura Kesling) and nephew Patrick (Jonathan Heit). This is because his sister Wendy Bronson (Courtney Cox) is looking to get a job in Arizona after hearing that she is going to be laid off. Fortunately, Wendy Bronson does have a good friend in Jill Hastings (Keri Russell). Anyhow, Skeeter Bronson also takes on the role of father figure as well because his sister also happens to be a single mother and he also cares to be a father figure influence in his niece and nephew’s life. Bronson’s life changes dramatically once he notices the power that his niece and nephew have with just telling their stories with their imaginations. The movie even implies why their storytelling is powerful when the quote in the movie is mentioned ‘Your Fun Is Only Limited by Your Imagination). There are some song snippets that play during the movie such as Fire by The Ohio Players,I’m On Fire by Bruce Springsteen, Disco Inferno by The Trammps, Eternal Flame by The Bangles, Rock Me Amadeus by Falco, and Don’t Stop Believing by Journey (towards the end of the movie).Of course, there are more actors and actresses featured, yet something tells me to save some plot info for those who have yet to see the movie.

I love this movie. The characters are great and it’s hilarious.

Great movie

My son absolutely loves this movie. His favorite scene is when Bugsy is introduced and Adam Sandler's charcacter says "let me see them" (about the eyes) and exclaims "doh!!! Those eyes would look small on a cow... are those eye balls or bowliing balls." He laughs incessantly at that every time and repeats the line well into the next scene. The movie is fantastical, fun and funny. While a complete departure for Adam Sandler from his norm, he carries the movie well and children respond to his character in every one of his incarnations in the film. The two child stars are cute and brilliant in their portrayals. They truly seemed to enjoy Adam in this film and it shows in their performance.A warning to parents though; if you are not a story teller you may not want to show this movie to you children as they will want you to tell them bedtime stories so they can imagine making up stories like the ones in the film. My son, although we have read stories for bedtime since he was a baby, now once in a while will ask me to make up a story for him, which we happily do together. Story time has taken up a whole new meaning in our lives as a result and we spend many nights laughing and having fun at bedtime.I recommend this movie highly if you just want a fun experience to share with your child.

True to Adam's style very funny

I love this movie What’s not to love Adam Sandler his regular crew funny clean even though Russell brands in it who I absolutely adore as well

It’s supposed to be for kids, but there is a lot of cleavage and some sexual jokes, or just bad lessons taught, like Adam Sandler high-fiving his nephew for getting a kiss from a girl. Like he scored or something. 🙄 And also not the best lesson at the end of the movie. I really feel like they could have aimed higher and made a better movie with this concept.

I am shocked if not embarrassed to report that this was a fun movie---great for the whole family---including my six year old boy who roared. Truthfully, my wife and I roared. I NEVER have been able to sit through one of Sandler's moronic, 1st-grade potty mouth movies---but this one was a perfect combination of his childish, low-brow comedy meets kids' movie. It was well written and put together very, very well! I was surprised to see it get ony 25% at Rotten Tomatoes (most everyone panned it.) What's odd about that is I am REALLY critical and dislike far, far more movies than any audience or critic. I'm fine with any movie (low brow to high brow) so long as it sticks to its own premise and concept. This one did. Judging from the basis of what this movie sets out to do, it does it, and it does it well. (I hope I don't regret this review...again, I can't believe I'm saying this...maybe I too was hexed by a bedtime dream come true.) BTW: If you don't have (or never had) kids...this probably is not a good watch. It's mostly an INSIDE laugh! I WISH Sandler would just sculpt his usual adult-movie nonsense into this venue--kids' movies! What a perfect fit!

Love this movie, great for movie night. Very entertaining and cute.

I always like value for money !Great sellerWould use again my child collects dvds and loves this one

Ich finde den Film wirklich mega gut und schaue ihn mir heute noch gerne immer wieder Zwischendurch an.

I love Disney films and had never heard of "Bedtime Stories". I'm glad I bought this DVD as the lead actor, Adam Sandler, can sometimes be a little too much for me. The only other film of his that I've enjoyed is Anger Management, but he doesn't disappoint here.Skeeter (Adam Sandler) is asked to babysit his sister's kids over a couple of evenings. The dayshift is taken by the sister's best friend. Skeeter is a little horrified to find that his sister hasn't got a TV and therefore his first night babysitting actually requires him to interact with his niece and nephew rather than plonk them in front of the screen. He decides to try his hand at telling a bedtimes story, the way his Dad used to tell him stories when he was little. Luckily he's a natural story teller although a little self-absorbed in his story telling the kids change his stories so their they're a lot more fun.Fun, imaginative film to watch with the whole family or even on your own. Filming covered wonderful sets and locations, a Greek ampitheatre; a medieval palace; the wild west - all lovely scenes and the acting was better than I thoughtt. There's the flitting between modern day, real scenes and ho they could be imagined in the bedtime stories - Motorbikes as horses and a woman as a mermaid.

Wer meine Rezensionen kennt, weiß, dass ich eher auf die technische Umsetzung eingehe als auf den Film selber. Die Filminhalte der meisten Titel dürften bekannt sein und bei den Rezensionen sind die Beschreibungen der technischen Inhalte wichtiger.Bildbewertung:Blurays, die von BUENA VISTA bzw. von Disney stammen, sind eigentlich ein Garant für Top HD-Qualität und so macht BEDTIME STORIES auch hier keine Ausnahme. 99 Minuten wird durchgehend High-Def Feeling vermittelt, alles andere wäre auch Schande gewesen, da der Film quasi noch vor kurzem im Kino lief. Die Bildparameter sind "bilderbuchmässig" sprich hohe Schärfe und Detailzeichnung, sattes Schwarz und natürliche Farbwiedergabe sind beste Voraussetzung für ein plastisches Bild mit viel Tiefe. Richtig Negatives gibt es eigentlich nicht zu sagen bei dieser Scheibe, eher die typischen Problemchen wie Detailverluste in nicht so gut ausgeleuchteten Szenen, sowie minimales Filmkorn, welches aber nicht stört.Tonbewertung Deutsch DTS 5.1.Für einen Komödienmix ist die Abmischung auf jeden Fall über dem Durchschnitt. Der Mix klingt frisch und sogar surroundtechnisch räumlicher als man erwarten würde. Natürlich wurde viel Wert darauf gelegt die Gute-Nacht-Geschichten beeindruckend zu vertonen, was zwar gelingt, aber bei genauem Hinhören doch die feinen Details etwas vermissen lässt.Die Balance zwischen Effekten und Musik ist leider nicht ganz optimal gewählt, denn der Score übertönt teilweise die Surround Effekte.Eine höhere Detailfiligranität hätte für noch mehr Spass gesorgt,trotzdem gehört der Gesamt-Komödienmix zu den besseren Abmischungen, obwohl es noch Spielraum nach oben gegeben hätte.Das Komplett-Layout dieser Bluray incl. Extras ist wieder mal super ausgefallen, lediglich das Disney nun zur Bluray auch die DVD-Version beilegt fragt nach dem Sinn dieser Aktion. Günstiger wird die Bluray dadurch nämlich nicht - im Gegenteil!Dieses neue Vorgehen sollte sich Disney wieder abgewöhnen!Der eigentliche Star der Bluray ist zweifelsohne GLUBSCHI,das Meerschweinchen. GLUBSCHI muss man einfach lieben!!!!!
