Walt Disney Pictures’ Bedtime Stories reviewed by #2 (the Death Wish Child)

#2

So we’re all feeling a bit celeb here at English Towers since we got appointed as Disney Blu-ray Ambassadors and *gasp* the new Blu-ray player arrived (poor Bernard the postie hasn’t been the same since - being mobbed at the doorstep by an over-enthusiastic gang of Englishers must be very disturbing).

We’ve had a movie-watching frenzy and, in the interests of research (all for you, dearest reader), watched some rather fab movies.  Here’s the Death Wish One to tell you all about Bedtime Stories:
 

Bedtime stories By #2 (The the Death Wish Child) aged 11 and 1 month.

Bedtime Stories is about Skeeter [Adam Sandler].  Skeeter was born into a family who owned a motel.  Skeeter’s Dad was forced to sell the motel to Mr Nottingham [Richard Griffiths] because otherwise he’d go bankrupt.  Mr Nottingham promised that if Skeeter showed any talent he would be the manager of the new hotel.

Years later, Skeeter is the hotel handyman.  He has to look after his niece and nephew and discovers that when he makes up a bedtime story, what they say happens in real life.

This was an amazing film with twists like how when Skeeter said something in the story it wouldn’t happen, but when the kids said something it would happen.  My favourite part was when it rained gum balls (at least it didn’t rain the other sort).  My favourite thing was easily Bugsy the hamster with the huge eyeballs (I know again with the balls) and my favourite person was Russell Brand (Mr Coconut Bra).  I highly recommend this film for all ages.  It was the best film I’ve seen in absolutely ages. 

Hope to be writing more reviews soon,

#2

    Sort of saw it when the kids were watching it. It has good anti-piracy measures, from a purely academic interest standpoint you understand.

  2. Littlemummy says:

    Great review #2 :)

    EM – your son, is like the spitting image of you! (minus the spiky hair)

  3. English Mum says:

    Growup: Does it? I was too busy looking at Russell Brand (he’s my ‘I really shouldn’t but I can’t help myself’).

    LM: Do you think so? Ah yes, the hair. He spikes it, I flatten it, he spikes it, I flatten it. And so it goes on.

  4. Growup says:

    There is no call for that at all. None. At All. Ever. Regardless of levels of intoxication. In fact allowing him to exist should be a crime.

  5. Growup says:

    I appear to have become a selection of french fancies?

  6. English Mum says:

    Growup: Lucky you! I wish I’d morph into a french fancy. It’s because you haven’t got an avatar that works on here. Rush off to gravatar.com immediatement, Cheri.

    I still love Russell Brand though. Sorry.

  7. Jennifer (Bert's No 1 Fan!) says:

    Excellent review.

    Excellent hair.

    Well done young sir :)

  8. Townygirl says:

    sounds like a good film. i too like the hair.
    this is probably a dumb question but what is blueray?

  9. Growup says:

    Ha! Now I am a gooseberry.

  10. English Mum says:

    Jenn: He’ll be delighted you like his coiffeur. Can’t wait til he comes home from school and sees this!

  11. English Mum says:

    Towny: Not a dumb question at all. I’d never heard of it before now. It’s basically DVDs that are in high definition, so if you have an HD TV you can watch them in HD. The picture quality is amazing. I tried to get a video, then Hubby pointed out that unless you had an HD computer screen you wouldn’t see it. Good point.

    Growup: I like you as a gooseberry. It suits you.

  12. Jennifer (Bert's No 1 Fan!) says:

    Ok, I went and got myself an Avatar…hope this works…

  13. Jennifer (Bert's No 1 Fan!) says:

    Wooohooo!!

  14. Growup says:

    Hairy, thorny and prone to mildew in the spring?

  15. Towny says:

    ahh, now i see. thanking you. more new machines to get me head round!! xx

  16. English Mum says:

    Jenn: OMG that is CLASS! I love it. And it sums you up perfectly too :)

    Growup: I was thinking more delightful with a slight zing :roll:

  17. Jo Y says:

    Your son wrote a great review, my girls really liked that film!

  18. English Mum says:

    Towny: I know. And as soon as it was out the box, Hubby was tinkering round the back of the telly, linking it up to this, that and the other and then BOOM – the loudest Disney fireworks you ever did hear. Bert ran for cover and the light fittings shook. Kids loved it tho x

    Jo: Why thank you. He’s loving all the attention. Sadly, he suffers from the same gutter humour as his mother :lol:

  19. Val says:

    OOOh how exciting!

  20. nuttycow says:

    You’ve sold out. I’m shocked. I thought better of you.

    Please cancel my subscription ;)

  21. English Mum says:

    Val: I know! Aren’t we lucky? x

  22. English Mum says:

    Nutty: Ahaha. Sold my soul to Mickey. Easily purchased, moi x

  23. Baino says:

    Well if it’s good enough for him, it’s good enough for us.

  24. Moon says:

    Thank god for that, a decent blog on here !

  25. English Mum says:

    Baino: Too right. He’s very selective I’ll have you know :)

    Moon: Bugger off.

  26. Mum says:

    It certainly was a great film, with fantastic sound effects…good review too young #2! Thanks to all at English Towers for my visit – we had fun, hugs and music [as well as fab food natch]…missing you already! XXXX

  27. English Mum says:

  28. Jennifer (Bert's No 1 Fan!) says:

    Aw hope you’re not missing the Mammy too much. My sister is over the Irish Sea too. Not far no, but it’s still TORTURE and I miss her every day :(

    *waves*
    Hi Carlito if you’re reading!!!

  29. exmoorjane says:

    Yup, easily purchased of Exmoor here too….. Good film but not sure we would watch it more than once….

  30. English Mum says:

    Jenn: Agh, I love Ireland but I do miss my folks. Sympathies there. Does your sis read the blog? x

    Jane: Mine laughed heartily all the way through, but then the mental age in this house averages about 7.5 :lol:

  31. Jennifer (Bert's No 1 Fan!) says:

    She’s been known to pop her head in :)

  32. English Mum says:

    Jenn: Well, well! Hello Jenn’s sis! Leave a comment please? Hmmm? G’wan… x
