The bedtime story scenes were awesome. Everything else, except the ending, were typical Disney stuff that hurt the overall quality of the movie. Bottom line...it's a solid family movie.

I actually saw this earlier. Surprisingly, it actually turned out very decent. Adam Sandler can be funny, he just needs the right material. Adam Sandler and Disney are an odd mix, but it actually seemed to work. I thought the cast was probably one of the strongest points of the film. The way the stories affected real life situations was a very humorous and interesting twist. It did feel predictable, but most family films are, especially coming from Disney.

I actually really like the poster at the top of this thread. Very appealing image. Makes me sad to think that the cover for the DVD release will no doubt have the big-eyed CGI hamster plastered all over.

I wasn't expecting anything, but I ended up loving this movie. It was great fun overall.
