Skip it. This Adam Sandler family flick is a forgettable fantasy-comedy that trades on a cute premise but delivers lazy humor and predictable sentimentality. Unless you've got restless kids who need 99 minutes of distraction, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

Skeeter Bronson is a down-on-his-luck guy who's always telling bedtime stories to his niece and nephew. But his life is turned upside down when the fantastical stories he makes up for entertainment inexplicably turn into reality. Can a bewildered Skeeter manage his own unruly fantasies now that the outrageous characters and situations from his mind have morphed into actual people and events?
