Bedtime Stories[2008] Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Russell Brand.
Once upon a time in a magical faraway kingdom, Los Angeles, California, there was a hard working, helpful janitor. Strikingly handsome.. almost. Who lived in a room at the hotel where he had grown up with his father and sister.
Now this janitor had been working his butt off for years, you'd think he'd be a shoo-in to rule the hotel right? Right! Wrong. Actually, it wasn't even run by his family anymore. He was in fact, just the son of the founder, the original owner of the hotel, great Lord Marty... or just Marty... and knew everything there is to know about running a hotel, everyone just took him for granted. His name was Mr Underappreciated.
What's "underdemeciated"?
Under de-what?
Underdemeciated.
That's right, I forgot you were six.

Adam Sandler stars in this adorable comedy as Skeeter Bronson - the hotel's maintenance guy.
Like in everything story, there's a guy that gets it all, the job, the girl, everything - and his name is Sir Butt-Kiss. And he spent all his days kissing everybody's butt. Or so I've heard. There's kids in the story too! Mistress Stinky and Master Smelly. Hey-oh! Stinky and Smelly also goes by the names Bobbi and Patrick - Skeeter's niece and nephew.
The hotel where Skeeter works was where he grew up with his sister. Their father owned the place, he was a great father, but not so much a business man. The place was going broke, that's when Barry Nottingham comes in. He buys the hotel and makes it 10 times bigger and fancier! Then he announces - "My new champion is... Sir Butt-Kiss!"
Sir Fix-A-Lot, also known as Skeeter, was devastated. So, Sir Fix-A-Lot moved into a giant shoe, got a bad case of athlete's face...
Wait.. that's not how it goes.. oops. Carry on.
Suddenly, Sir Fix-A-Lot gets a shot! It's up to him to beat Sir Butt-Kiss. In celebration, Stinky and Smelly did the fastest Irish jig ever. Even Prince Bugsy busted out some fancy moves.
And then... and then...It started raining gumballs!
I know what you're thinking - "raining gumballs?"
Why not?! It's a bedtime story. Anything can happen!
That's so true ;)
The next morning came and it was breakfast time, banana on rice cake with wheat germ and to add a little flavour, mint toothpaste! Mmmm yummy! I like it. A rice cake-banana-wheat germ sandwich. It's good because, now we don't have to brush out teeth.
Oh, I forgot to introduce Bugsy! Bugsy is a guinea pig, or otherwise called by Violet, the hotel ownér's daughter, a fat mouse. He makes a perfect little powder puff.
Violet's a princess, a glamorous princess. Patrick doesn't like her though, he thinks girls are "bis-crusting"! But when it comes to Trisha Sparks, that's a different story, she's hot ;)
Weird things happen in this movie, although it's only right, seeing it's a bedtime story. Patrick has a substitute teacher with an eye patch, there's a red horse, hamburgers are life changing and Skeeter sees London, he sees France, he sees his golden underpants!
Before you say "Where's the arc? There's no arc. I've not learned anything." Here's a question for you - Haven't you heard? Goofy's the new handsome!
Oh! And Mickey (Russell Brand) - Actually, really likes ketchup on his face, because it's really rejuvenating for the skin!
Don't forget..
I don't know but it's been said Bugsy's eyes pop out of his head.
And one more..
Your fun is only limited by your imagination.
One more thing!
Skeeter's the coolest! I'm a nerd ;)
The End
Now that was truly magical!
