Bedtime Stories

Dec 27, 2008 09:42

Went to see this on Christmas Day with Dennis and my mom. (eniariom, it has Lucy Lawless in it!) It was actually very cute. The guinea pig amused me muchly. He really serves no purpose other than being cute. Guy Pearce does a fantastic job playing a snob, and the guy who plays Uncle Vernon in the Harry Potter movies does an amusing job as a germaphobe. Being an Adam Sandler flick, naturally Jonathan Loughran and Rob Schnieder had bit parts.

I really don't want to put any spoilers in, so I'll just say that it was a cute, fun movie. Dennis enjoyed it, and he's not the Disney movie type.

Previews included a trailer for "Race to Witch Mountain". Yes, Disney is making yet another one. This time, with Dwayne Johnson/The Rock playing a cab driver. Nowhere in the trailer does he get to beat anyone up. (but then, with two kids who can do magic to get them out of their scrapes, I guess he doesn't need to) Color me very disappointed.

I'd give Bedtime Stories 3, 3.5 stars out of 5 I guess. Lighthearted and fun and cute. And sometimes, you just need that kind of movie.
