I think that I saw this movie on Cinemax, late at night years ago. At least it had the same title. I don't remember Sandler being it, but there were some hot chicks.

I love seeing the rest of the cast out in the public now! I have seen a few interviews with Courtney Cox and here is Keri Russell in an interview. She is so cute and funny. I think she is going to work perfectly with Sandler!

Don't get your hopes too high. Some mixed reviews came in today:
Rolling Stone:
Screen Daily:
Variety:
Rolling Stone:
A return to the cloying sweetness of Big Daddy territory for Adam Sandler. He's a hotel maintenance guy who tells stories to his niece and nephew that sort of come true. The shortage of wit and the excess of goo can be summed up in Sandler's line to these children of divorce: "I'm like the stink on your feet I'll always be there."

Los Angeles: Mish-mash fantasy-comedy sees Adam Sandler aim his humour at the family market with mixed results, says John Hazelton
While the comedy -- about a hotel handyman whose outlandish tales spring to life -- clearly skews to a younger demo, there's enough sophomoric humor here to reassure the Sandler faithful.

JPRaup -- Thanks for sharing! Hmm, interesting. Ya, seems like the movie is getting mixed reviews. I read this one review from The Hollywood Reporter highlighting Sandler's performance as "agreeably successful in his first kid-friendly movie
the overall feeling engendered by "Bedtime Stories" is exactly that -- a story long on imagination and short on logic that brings on smiles and dreams of sugar plums dancing in the head.
I guess I will see it for myself and decide!

Not bad. About what you'd expect. Cutesey and warm, with a couple of good sequences. And Keri Russell is looking very good.
Kind of surprised to see Guy Pearce in such a nothing role. I know the man has to eat, but I thought his career was on a different path. And god do I still hate Russell Brand.
