Marty Bronson (Jonathan Pryce) who raises his son and daughter on his own has to sell his homey motel to clever Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths) who promises to make Marty's son manager, when he's grown up and has proven himself. Nottingham pulls down the motel to raise a pricey hotel. Although grown up, Marty's son Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) works as a janitor and general servant, but unlikely as it seems, he still dreams of becoming the manager. When Nottingham announces a brand-new gigantic hotel project, he makes his future son-in-law, base Kendall (Guy Pierce), manager, shattering Skeeter's dream. At the same time Skeeter's sister Wendy (Courtney Cox) has to leave town for a job interview and asks him to alternate looking after her two children Patrick (Jonathan Morgan Heit) and Bobbi (Laura Ann Kesling) with Wendy's responsible-minded colleague Jill (Keri Russell). He doesn't get along with either Jill or the children, but his easy-goingness loosens them all up and once he starts telling his bedtime stories, the children grow fond of him and begin to bring in their ideas about how the stories should go. When the stories turn out to become true in real life, Skeeter tries to manoeuver the stories into a direction which will make his dream come true, too. source

Blu-ray.com Review

[Blu-Griffin]

I saw it in the movies. Wasn't too bad, but not the best either. Might pick it up on Blu-Ray eventually.

[bajor27]

A definite rental for me. Haven't seen it yet, but it looked decent enough IMO

[DaPenguinPimP]

This is going to be a first day blind buy for me, huge fan of Sandler and my sister liked this movie so why not.

[unjichan]

The movie is cute enough. And it's surprisingly enjoyable.

[dvd_mazter]

It surprised me a lot & very funny for a family film. I will definitely buy this one

[jceperley]

Now is Disney gonna do a Bolt and release it on Blu-ray a few days ahead of the DVD, like on a Friday or Sunday then have the DVD on Tuesday? Would be nice if Disney started that practice as a regular trend with their new releases.

[spolcyc]

I will rent it first. All Adam Sandler movies are the same anyway so I probably saw this 10 years ago and can't remember.

[Ferris]

Judging by the trailers, I want to watch this. I fully expect it to be a nice family film.

I noticed it's coming out pretty quickly, relative to other theatre-to-video titles. Must not have done too well at the BO?

[Dave_6]

I'd buy this one just because Teresa Palmer is in it

[blu-mike]

I saw this and liked it.that ringtone he had on his cell phone was freakin funny!!!

[MyBlu-rayBrotherEd]

[assydingo]

Now as far as the Blu-ray itself goes, Disney seems to be going in the direction of the Bolt Blu-ray by adding in a DVD edition of Bedtime Stories along with the Blu-ray and digital copy discs. I'll give the DVD to a friend because I really don't need three different formats in the same Blu-ray case. Having both the Blu-ray and digital copy discs are enough for me.

[lobo81865]

Definitely a rental, and I will buy it later if I like it.

[crazy88]

April 5th is the official release now, don't let this thread mislead you with April 7th.

Just more childish humor than I expected. I really didn't think it'd be that cheesy.

They really over-do the bugsy thing for example.
