As a handyman at the hotel his father used to own, Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) spends his days changing light bulbs and competing with the hotel’s smarmy manager (Guy Pearce) for the attention of the new owner’s beautiful, hard-partying daughter, Violet (Theresa Palmer). When his sister Wendy (Courteney Cox) asks Skeeter to babysit her kids for a week while she’s out of town, Skeeter entertains his niece and nephew with elaborate, original bedtime stories that transport them to exotic locales, including ancient Greece, the Wild West and outer space. When he tries to help his family by telling one outlandish tale after another, it’s the kids’ unexpected contributions that turn all of their lives upside down. Full of imaginative special effects and good-natured hilarity, Bedtime Stories is a winning combination of comedy and adventure.

Mrs. Doubtfire did a great job of showing a Dad taking care of his kids.
three men and a baby- three men and a baby- seriously teaches alot
parenthood with steve martin
Cheaper by the Dozen – that Dad really helps out and big families are awesome
Mrs. Doubtfire, but I haven’t seen this one yet
Bedtime stories , Ohhhh ,How I remember them.
awe this is cute:)
My kids would love this!!!
I THOUGHT FIDDLER ON THE ROOF SHOWED HOW HUMBLE A DAD COULD BE AND STILL LOVE HIS KIDS
Mrs DoubtFire
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a great dad film. Who wouldn’t want to have Dick Van Dyke’s character, the eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts, as a father. I always loved this film as a kid. Looking forward to seeing Bedtime Stories. Thank for the fun give-away.
I was just thinking that Click was a great movie about how we as parents need to slow down and enjoy our children now…before its too late
I think I AM SAM was a great movie to teach dads. This movie was good too! Thanks for the chance.

Ms. Doubtfire was a wonderful example of love and sacrifice of a father for his children!
Mrs, Doubtfire
Believe it or not, a couple of other Adam Sandler movies nicely express the meaning of fatherhood with humor and sentiment: “Big Daddy” and “Spanglish.” You can just feel his “dad character” trying his hardest to do what in the kids’ best interests. Surprisingly touching work by such a zany actor.
I would love to see this movie
I honestly do not know the answer to this but look forward to the responses, I could use some movie ideas on this subject. Nanny McFee makes me think a little about teaching dad’s what kids need. Thanks!
Bedtime Stories. It embarks upon the necessity for direct interaction from parents (versus TV) that kids need for their development.
This might be an odd choice, but Laurence Fishburne from Boyz N the Hood was a wonderful father despite many obstacles.
Mrs.Doubtfire was a great one! Thanks for the chance at this movie, we love it!
i want to win
nice prize
thanks
Mrs. Doubtfire has to be a classic story of a Dad’s love.
this looks like a great movie for my grandkids to watch…thanks for the great giveaway
Mrs. Doubtfire
I loved “Yours, Mine and Ours”. Trial and error is a part of parenting. Start teaching kids right from wrong at an early age. And alway be open and honest with them. As kids get older, they know when you are not being truthful with them, and they learn from what they see at home. And learn to “listen”to your kids.
I think Mr Mom was a good one for dads. Thanks for the giveaway.
3 Men and a Baby because it goes through the whole rigamarole from morning to night, and does so with insight and humor, using a man’s perspective.
I really liked Mrs Doubtfire also.
Hook, definitely. It showed me how I should not forsake my children, but I shouldn’t be the child I was before. I have to be the in between.
I agree…Father of the Bride was good!
Great movie for the entire family
Father of the Bride: This movie I imagine is very much what a father feels like when his daughter gets married. I have a 14 month old daughter and hope it will be easier
Three men and a baby.
one of my favorites is radio flyer-touching moments at the end
Pretty in Pink – remember how the dad always supported whatever his daughter was going through.
I really liked Cheaper by the Dozen, although exagerated, it really captures the essence of parenting
“For Keeps” with Molly Ringwald. It was made in the 80’s and it shows a young, teenage couple that taking care of an infant is mostly hard work and responsibility, and not a job to be taken lightly. The actor who plays the teenage father (I forgot his name) takes fatherhood seriously, and does a great job, but the teenage girl has some trouble at first, but then figures it all out. It is a fabulous movie.

I heard this movie is wonderful!
this looks like and awsome lil dvd that even older kids would like and that is good because my older kid is stuck at age 13 maturity wise so he is into all the cartoons that make your mind crumble into little bitty bits..we need more educating movies and this would fit the bill.
I missed this in the theater and would like to see it.
I think Father of the Bride or 3 Men and A Baby
“Cheaper by the Dozen” with Steve Martin or “Three Men and a Baby” are both great films that show what raising kids are all about.
We always enjoyed Parenthood with Steve Martin but I also enjoyed Father Goose with Cary Grant.
Mrs. Doubtfire was very insightful.
Parenthood
Although the movie did not get good reviews, I would say Jersey Girl really taught dads about parenting. What Ben Affleck’s character discovers as a single dad after many trials and tribulations was that he loved his life (without his high stress/high prestige job)more because being a father to his daughter was the only thing he was really good at.
Would love to check out this movie…thank you.
Perfect DVD for Grandparents too!! Please enter me
Please, enter me, great prize!!! I would love to win this.
This is a fascinating movie for any father who invents bedtime stories for his children. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
Parenthood. I think the Throw-up scene sez’ it all.
Cheaper By The Dozen
Maybe Father of The bride.
Parenthood – We just laugh through this whole movie!
Three men and a baby. Dads need to learn what we go through.
parenthood, because it’s so very accurate
I think MRs doubt fire
Mrs. Doubtfire
I wouldn’t look to movies to teach parenting.
Chicken Little – because listening to your children is a must!
The Fonda/Ball movie “Yours, Mine and Ours” shows what a family means, and what a father is responsible for.
Father of the bride just a great movie!!
I think that Daddy Daycare teaches dad’s that they can operate a daycare and take care of children just as well as mothers can.
Cheaper By the Dozen- he learns that its not about money and how to be a stay-at-home-Mom!
I think Mr. mom was great cause it showed a father just what his wife goes thru on a typical day, which made him appreciate his family so much more!
Parenthood. Steve martin is so funny, and it teaches dads the good and bad of it all.
Mr. Mom was a good movie for fathers!
Mrs. Doubtfire because it shows a fathers love for his children
I think Mrs. Doubtfire, because it shows that dads need to do whatever it takes to be with their kids, watch over them and teach them what they need to know to survive and thrive in the world. It shows the depths of a good dad’s love.
Daddy Day Care Because It Teaches Dads How To Take Care Of There Kids
enter me
Terrific
nice prize
I also liked cheaper by the dozen..
My favorite is Parenthood with Steve Martin. This is a great movie about the ups and downs of parenting.
Mr. Mom because he got a dose of reality.
So many good ones: Mr Mom, Parenthood. Love the funny ones!
I would have to go with Mrs. Doubtfire because Robin Williams character loved his children so much he would do anything to be with them…even become a woman. Great movie with a great ending.
Little Miss Sunshine because even though the family wasn’t perfect they loved each other and were there for each other
I would pick Three Men and a Baby because it teaches in a humorous way and makes it ok to be a new dad with a lot of learning to do!
I loved the Mrs. Doubtfire movie. The Bedtime stories will be great for the grandchildren to watch. Thanks for having the contest!
love this site!
My best times are the Bible stories read at night by mom or dad. I still have the tathered/torn Book; three generations have used and now will be given to the fourth.
Parenthood by far was the defining film of the decade. Steve Martin rolled with the punches and delt with stress of fatherhood gracefully. With a smile.
I think the best one is Mr Mom! What a great contest ~ thanks for posting!
Little Mrs. Sunshine because the father did everything in his power to make his daughter happy.
I like Hook — even though the Dad is wrapped up in his work at the beginning, his adventure at saving his children teaches him what being a father is really all about!
Mr Mom was a good movie!!Shows that dads can stay home and do it too
Mrs.Doubtfire best one ever! love to win….
Mrs Doubtfire I cry everytime I watch it
I’m thinking “Mr Mom”.
Little Miss Sunshine is what parenting is all about. Dad helps his daughter achieve her dream.
Cheaper by the Dozen.. because it demonstrates the importance of a father as well as the roles of both parents. You can’t take anything for granted..
I WOULD LIKE TO ENTER GIVEAWAY
Click was great because it showed how one needs to prioritize their life
Mrs. Doubtfire
Big Daddy
Three Men and a Baby
mrs doubtfire is my favorite
I think MRs doubt fire
Mrs Doubtfire
daddy day care
i’m thinking of the vacation movies with Chevy Chase as
Clark Griswold -he was good to his family
I think Daddy Day Care because it teaches what NOT to do!
I would have to say three men and a baby,or three men and a little lady. Both of these movies showed fathers learning how to take care of a little one.
Mrs. Doubtfire.
Reading to my kids is my favorite time of day.
“Mr. Mom”; it really is educational and practical.
Mrs Doubtfire is a great one
would be a fun movies for the kids
