About this deal

Negative—Apparently taking God’s name in vain is not offensive to A LOT of Christians today, they just overlook it. Does God over look it? Exodus 20:7-You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for THE LORD will NOT leave him UNPUNISHED who takes His name in vain. Just because by societies stand point they say there wasn’t a cussword in the script… I beg to differ, God’s name is Holy and if “Christians” do not take offense to this then Hollywood WILL keep saying things to this nature in movies. Consider this “Christian,” there are no “cusswords” mentioned in scripture (there is foul language) society dictates what is bad and good language. The ONE THING God wrote IN STONE with HIS OWN FINGER was NOT to take HIS Name in Vain, so which is more offensive, cussing or blasphemy? By the way this movie took God’s name in vain SEVEN times (OMG/G/J). My children look for blasphemy in film and TV because they read how God feels about it. Calvin trying to get out of doing some assignment or test at school and getting into huge trouble in the process. A down and out, a grungy man walks into a swanky restaurant desperately needing a meal. He asks the waiter if he can have a free meal and the waiter says, “Absolutely not! This is an upscale establishment and I’m going to have to ask you to leave.” Although there is nothing very special about this movie, and I felt a little underwhelmed when I left the theater, I feel compelled to come to its defense. First, I really appreciate what Sandler has done. He has successfully toned down his usual antics enough that I would gladly take my numerous toddler cousins to see this film. While I did not find it extremely original, this is one of those films that will make the kids happy, as well as encourage them to use there imaginations. On a similar note, Calvin calling the library, a hardware store, or some other business asking for something ridiculous and getting told off.

Sandler intends to achieve his dreams of career success and fantasy success with women by manipulating the children into telling his version of the bedtime stories. They, however, just want a fun story, he wants more. Calvin also trying to reason (particularly close to Christmas) that every time he's been bad was never actually his fault, it was extenuating circumstances that pushed him to do it, or it's society's fault for considering what he does "bad". This movie had quite a bit of innuendo, many shots of women in bikinis and low cut tops, and as for foul language, one character said the “h” word, and multiple characters took God’s name in vain. I know that our society thinks nothing of saying OMG or the like, but as Christians shouldn’t we rise above what the crowd thinks? For God himself put “Do not take the name of the Lord your God in vain” in the ten commandments. If it really didn’t matter or wasn’t important, do you really think God would put it in the ten rules he gave us to live our life by?It is a beautiful story, leaving you the opportunity to discuss with your children themes of imagination, creativity, political correctness, fair play, hard work, family ties, divorce, happy endings, lies, respect for parents, obedience, greed, values, and, yes, even foul language and immodest attire. :-) If you prefer movies that actually engage a child’s mind and moral character, I would suggest something like “The Sound of Music,” “Finding Neverland,” “Lassie,” “The Chronicles of Narnia,” “Finding Winn Dixie,” or “Pollyanna.” There are three featurettes and are aimed primarily at the younger target audience. “Until Gravity Do Us Part” is four minutes on the outer space fantasy. The visual effects team talks about how they filmed it to look like Guy Pearce and Adam Sandler were battling in zero gravity using a combination of wires and CGI. A lot of interesting behind-the-scenes footage is in this extra, but it’s still presented in a way that is simple and enjoyable for younger kids as well.

He just wanted to be someone's pet – to live in a cozy cage with shavings to make a nest, and lots of good crunchy food. Hamilton was tired of being hungry, and he wanted to be loved!

One thing I LOVED about “Bedtime Stories” was that the lead characters were trying to do the right thing. When Skeeter told the kids that life had no happy endings, his sister took him to task for it. When the champagne thing was mentioned, or when he wanted money as a reward, the kids set him straight. When the dad took off, and the kids wondered about that, Skeeter touchingly told the kids their dad must have some kind of “mental malfunction” to not want to spend every moment with them. They are flawed and broken characters, but trying to do the right thing, and I appreciated that. And as the man realized this hamster could actually read and write, he began to get an idea. This little guy would make a great pet! The kids would love him!As the title refers, “Bedtime Stories” is just that. A set of bedtime stories spun by a wayward handyman employed at a major Hotel chain, who over the course of a week has to babysit his sister’s two children while she looks for work out of town. During that week some pretty unexplainable things happen as each bedtime story transforms from nightly fairy tale into daily real life events.
