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.

  24. 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!

  28. 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.

  33. 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.

  42. 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.

  65. 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.

  72. 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.

  74. “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.

  79. 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

  86. 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.

  96. 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!

  98. 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.

  103. 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.
