Well it's just another average movie to me cause there were parts i like and i didn't so much.

As I had noted in previous reviews of Sandler films, I used to not want to like him, but gave in to his genuine charm and likable nature which translates well on screen. That being said, this film is only "fair" with a bit too much of those adult themed jokes to be quite for young kids and too much for kids to be for adults who don't embrace their "childlike" side. It starts out with a feeling kind of like "The Princess Bride," in the "storytelling," but it moves into a rather tepid tale about the power of dreams and believing. Sandler plays his usual lovable, misunderstood character whose heart is always in the right place. You've seen it before and now, if you watch this, you will see it with Sandler and a PG rating. A cute watch. I wouldn't recommend it for kids under 7 or 8 frankly if not older. Some nice zingers, some pretty faces and some nice sight gags earns this little more than a three-star review...we will see about the sequel.

I was very upset to see that this movie had women dressed inappropriately - in bikinis - and the language was often crass. I feel that Disney is showing that what they really care about are catering to a large audience so that they can bring in more money. The concern to create movies that can be modest, clean, and funny at the same time is not as important to them as making a blockbuster movie that all ages will view. The concept of this movie could have been so magical and did not need extra "grown up" components in order for it to be interesting, entertaining, creative, and kid-friendly.

the movie was fine for my 7 year old daughter but i had to talk with her afterward about a few scenes - such as... the old girlfriend of Sandler's that is overweight and her gluttony is supposed to be funny

A sweet movie. I normally don't like Sandler's juvenile frat-boy humor but was impressed with this film. Mild language and adult behavior but much of it in the fantasy realm of the bedtime stories. My kids really liked the way the movie twisted the plot points in the stories in unexpected ways in "real" life. Some of the twists might be a little hard for younger ones to follow, but the fantasy elements are humorous enough to keep their attention. While Sandler's character is flawed, in the end he does the right thing to take care of his family even though it seems to be to his own detriment.

We loved this movie! I was concerned because Sandler is not usually family-friendly. But we were all laughing and enjoying the story to the very end. My kids are 10 and 14. My wife doesn't care for "silly" movies but she loved this one! p.s. My TVGuardian took out one character's name but I think it was 'butt'.

No one has mentioned this and I have to say that I was upset to find out that this movie has a couple of scenes where women were in bikinis and one with the main character in a bikini and you could tell she had implants. Did “Walt Disney” seriously make this movie? I can expect this from Adam Sandler but not to have a Disney seal of approval. I am disappointed that now we have to screen even Disney movies!!

My 3 1/2 year old was bored (no surprise). My 7 and 9 year olds liked it well enough. Their favorite parts were whenever the guinea pig with the large eyes appeared. The premise of the movie--the bedtime stories come true in real life the next day--could have resulted in a truly memorable movie. With Sandler at the helm, though, the movie turned into a predictable and uninspired (and overly long) two hours. What I did not like: I do not like movies that make fun of fat people, as this movie does. Conversely, I do not like children's movies that praise women for being thin, as this movie also does. And--ironically enough--the movie is also filled with bashing of healthy eating choices. Apparently, Cinnabon and marshmallows are what kids really want and only uptight parents withhold. I can take one or two jokes about this--the opening part about the wheatgrass birthday cake was funny--but it went on throughout the whole movie. Give it a rest already.
