Like most of Disney's films, everything in 'Bedtime Stories' is over the top except that unlike in 'Enchanted' where it all came well together, 'Bedtime Stories' is a mess. Adam Sandler and Russell Brand are annoyingly loud. 'Bedtime Stories' is pretty much like a typical Adam Sandler movie but while a 'Mr. Deeds' had a John Torturro or a 'I Pronounce You Chuck And Larry' had a Kevin James that made those movies at least remotely funny while here the more talented actors like Courteney Cox, Keri Russell and Guy Pearce are terribly underused and limited to playing the typical sister, love interest and villain respectively. The guinea pig character seems to be there just for Disney convenience. This movie just is not funny. The story tries to include some magic and fantasy (which are nothing more than a tiny part of the movie) to make it more Disneylike but it ends up being a bad excuse of a children's film.
