Bedtime Stories
Skeeter Bronson is a down-on-his-luck guy who's always telling bedtime stories to his niece and nephew. But his life is turned upside down when the fantastical stories he makes up for entertainment inexplicably turn into reality. Can a bewildered Skeeter manage his own unruly fantasies now that the outrageous characters and situations from his mind have morphed into actual people and events?
Critics Sentiment
Greek chariot story leads to romantic day with Jill
Skeeter gets fired after blasting fire extinguisher at Nottingham's cake
The film's biggest drop occurs when Skeeter's triumph at winning the manager position immediately turns into disaster with the absurd fire extinguisher incident that gets him fired.
Bedtime Stories follows a classic rise-fall-redemption arc, starting modestly before hitting its stride with the imaginative story sequences and romantic development in the middle act. The film peaks during the Greek chariot story and Skeeter's growing relationship with Jill, then stumbles with some forced slapstick before recovering for a satisfying family-friendly conclusion.
