watching movies one cup at a time

Welcome to Ice Cubes In My Coffee :: The Caffeinated Movie Guide. I love movies and I have strong opinions about all of them. When they are great, they can change your life. And when they suck, you can at least have fun ripping them to shreds. I have seen a million movies and I have a bunch of movie facts and trivia stored up in my head - it's time to share. I'm going to be filling this movie guide with reviews on an ongoing basis, building up a large library of reviews so YOU, the movie-watching public, will know what movies are essential viewing and what movies you must avoid at all costs (hint: anything with the words "Starring Dane Cook"). I will also be posting some interesting articles and lists along the way as well. So grab a cup of joe and settle in for some movie talk!

Bedtime Stories

Starring: Adam Sandler, Russell Brand, Keri Russell, Courteney Cox
Director: Adam Shankman
Year of Release: 2008
 Rated 4 cups

Adam Sandler takes a turn toward more family fare with essentially a kid’s movie here. This is the first film produced by Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions that has received a PG rating. It’s not bad but there isn’t much too it really. And the fantasy element about the bedtime stories coming true never makes it to the land of believability. It just sort of happens and then is accepted as normal almost immediately, without any attempt at explanation or even curiosity.

I found the funniest character to actually be the unexplainably big-eyed guinea pig thrown in for comic purposes, Bugsy. He’s just the right balance between weird and adorable. More could have been done with him.

For a mild, enjoyable movie, it fits the bill. No big laughs here but a few light chuckles.
