This is an imaginative movie, one the kids will love. The parents will find themselves grinning and laughing too. Adam Sandler, in quite a departure, becomes a nurturing uncle to his niece and nephew when their mother loses her job and travels to another state to attempt to secure employment. Not that Uncle Skeeter (Sandler) is perfect, but his heart is in the right place.
He tells the kids bedtime stories and soon finds the parts they included in helping to tell the stories literally come to pass. He does encourage them to come up with some endings which are to his liking, but some surprises hit him between the eyes and some of them, though not all, are quite welcome.
This film has a little bit of everything including humor, romance, a good guy and a villain, and character growth. It’s a fun way to spend just under two hours. We are pleased to award this film our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal.
