There's nothing fresh in Sandler's role that you haven't seen in almost every movie he's ever done -- the same mumbly, underachiever-schlub notes he's been hitting for years, only taken down a notch for his first PG-rated comedy.

If you are forced to attend, then at least Bedtime Stories is tolerable, and occasionally fun -- when it forgets to be dumb.

After sitting through this fractious fairy tale, we feel as plucked as a Christmas goose.

Enjoyable, silly and a wee bit whimsical. It's also treacherously predictable at times, the two leads lack chemistry and it has the token horrible Rob Schneider cameo.

For a creative premise, it's downright dispiriting to see such a banal interpretation.

The twitchy anxiety that once powered his persona has given way to a doughy anonymity.

It's a delightfully innocent movie that the actor can actually show to his two baby daughters without blushing.

An innocuous but haphazard family comedy that seems less crafted for children than dreamed up by a team of them.

A family-friendly Adam Sandler movie that, even with its strained plot developments, is tame without being lame.

The real charm of Bedtime Stories is how it works as a family film.

It descends into pathos, undermined by an insipid romantic subplot and the usual platitudinous guff about self-belief.

...ultimately comes off as the most entertaining Adam Sandler comedy to hit theaters since 2004's 50 First Dates...
