Bedtime Stories | Movie

Bedtime Stories is a 2008 an interesting comedy film. It was the first appearance of Adam Sandler in a family oriented story.

Martin Bronson runs a hotel called Sunny Vista Motel. After 25 years in business, the hotel is liquidated to Nottingham Group of Hotels chairman Barry Nottingham due to financial challenges.

Skeeter is Martin’s son. Nottingham promises to ask him to take care of business later. Skeeter continues as a repairman at the hotel.

Unexpectedly, Nottingham later appoints her daughter’s boyfriend, Kendall Duncan, as the next manager. Skeeter got disappointed and resume to his work under stress.

Skeeter’s older sister Wendy works at a school. With the school closing, she has to travel to Arizona for a job interview. She asks Skeeter and her friend Jill Hastings – who works at the school – to babysit her children Bobby and Patrick for a week.

For a week, Jill takes care of the children during the day and Skeeter at night.

It is that one week that makes this film a magical treat! Skeeter tells stories to lull children to sleep. In it, he acts as the protagonist and tells a story every day with his own life as the plot. The story of a Greek king one day. Cowboy story for another day. Children also pour in their ideas to the stories.

Interestingly, the same story becomes real on the very next day in Skeeter’s life. From there, watch the twists and turns, whether it ends happily or sadly on screen.

A movie for kids! But the screenplay is designed to appeal to adults as well. The visuals, sets and their costumes that match the story made the movie enjoyable for me.
