Bedtime Stories

V: It's been a little while since I've seen this, so the memory's a bit fuzzy. But here's a stab. Pretty cute show all in all. We watched it with our kids and it kept the 4 year-old's attention - at least after magic stuff started happening. We are always apprehensive of Rob Schneider's obligatory appearance in an Adam Sandler movie as he's bound to bring crudeness. Despite our cringing, he kept it PG. There was some funny stuff. It was worth a trip to the red box. 3 stars.

M: Ya, pretty good, all in all. This movie is not going to change your life, but it is nice enough. Worth checking out. 2 1/2 stars.

Bolt

M: I hadn't really heard a lot about this movie. We rented it for family movie night with the kids. At first, I was nervous, but with a twist in the first few minutes, the movie went from cheesy to engaging. The characters are likable, and there is some good humor. All in all, I liked it. 3 stars.

V: We did have some friends recommend this to us. After the initial "seriously?" we really thought it was fun. I particularly liked the hamsters pep talk which lets you know you can do anything "if.you're.awesome!" I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I give this one 3 1/2 stars.
