Review of the film

Bedtime stories Review

This is a fantasy- family comedy film about Skeeter Bronson, a hotel handyman who has to take care of his niece and nephew every night. So, skeeter must tell bedtime stories to the children. And the next day the event in the bedtime stories come true.

The challenge for Skeeter is to make the audiences fun in all bedtime stories an interesting in his character, that it is successful.

The best thing about the film is it attempts to match between the myth of bedtime stories with the main characters or the situation in the real world. I think, it is very interesting and different from another film. Moreover, this film has many moral for the audiences. For example, we should not adhere with only our opinion and force other people to do the same with us.

On the dawn side, some cast or some character played unrealistic, which is a result the audiences didn't believe or touch the inner in that characters.

Furthermore , the film ends with happy ending. Marty Bronson narrating that Barry Nottingham overcame his fear of germs and left the hotel business to became a school nurse at Webster Elementary School. His daughter, Violet Nottingham, became the new owner of her father's hotel business and married Mickey as Skeeter and Jill got married as well as. This movie was delight for kids. I’m sure, you will enjoy when watching it.
