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

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

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

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

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

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.

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