March 26, 2009 by GreatDad Writers 113 Comments

Burbank, California, February 20, 2009 – It will be raining gumballs for lucky Blu-ray™ player owners when they become the first to own the heartwarming fractured fairy tale Bedtime Stories in a Limited Time 3-Disc Combo Pack on Sunday, April 5, 2009 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment— two full days before its DVD debut.

A perfect family gift for Easter or anytime, the 3-Disc Deluxe Edition is available for a limited time only.The single-disc DVD and 2-Disc Deluxe Edition DVD of Bedtime Stories will be available starting Tuesday, April 7, 2009.
 
Brimming with humor and imagination, Bedtime Stories is an uplifting comic fable. The always hilarious Adam Sandler (Click) shares the screen with Keri Russell (Waitress), Guy Pearce (Traitor), Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Courtney Cox (“Dirt”) in the heartwarming story of an underdog whose day finally comes. 

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.

    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.

    “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 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.

    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.
