Bedtime Stories

BEDTIME STORIES (2008) - Sept. 6, 2010
A surprisingly bad film about a man who realizes that the stories he's telling his neice and nephew are starting to come true.  Unabashedly juvenile, it becomes clear pretty much immediately that the film is aimed squarely at undiscrimating children, with no attempt to appeal to anyone over the age of twelve.  The film was pretty episodic, and lacked any particular narrative momentum.  Blandly directed and completely laugh-free, there really wasn't too much that worked here.  *1/2
