What’s BEDTIME STORIES about? When Marty Bronson (Jonathan Pryce) has to sell his mom-and-pop motel to a developer, he does so with the understanding that his son Skeeter (Adam Sandler) will eventually run the place. Skeeter does take over, but as the maintenance manager. Skeeter gets his chance to advance when the new owner announces a contest for the design of a new hotel he plans to build. Skeeter enlists the help of his niece and nephew, whom he’s been looking after. Because the bedtime stories he tells them magically come true, he thinks he’ll have an advantage. But he gets more than he bargained for when he tries to control the outcome of the final story. Sandler relies on his usual bag of tricks in this funny and winning film.
Who’s BEDTIME STORIES for? Fans of Adam Sandler, THE PRINCESS BRIDE and other family films.
Quote from BEDTIME STORIES: “I’m like the stink on your feet,” Sandler tells the kids, a smirk on his face. “I’ll always be around.”
