DISCOVER the magic of a child’s imagination with Disney’s Bedtime Stories, released yesterday on Blu-ray and DVD.
The blockbuster tale stars Adam Sandler, as a luckless hotel handyman, in a classic story of good versus evil with a magical twist.
Bedtime Stories is a fun movie all the family will enjoy. It follows Skeeter Bronson (Sandler), a hapless bachelor who is forced to do odd jobs in the hotel his father used to own. When his sister Wendy (Courtney Cox) asks him to look after her children so she can job hunt in Arizona, Skeeter realises he hardly knows his niece and nephew.
In a bid to entertain the kids, Skeeter concocts far-fetched bedtime stories set in far away lands, always casting himself as the hero. Then the trio’s tall-tales start to have bizarre parallels in the real world – gum balls fall out of the sky in Medieval England and giant bogie monsters escape in outer space.
Skeeter tries to manipulate his real life with disastrous and hilarious consequences.
The all-star cast also includes Jonathan Pryce, Russell Brand, Guy Pearce, Richard Griffiths and a bug eyed, break-dancing guinea pig named Bugsy.
The Blu-ray disc and DVD extras include an exclusive bedtime story, a behind the scenes look at how the zero gravity fight scene was created; and out-takes and bloopers. Certificate PG, RRP £17.99.
