The kids enjoyed this film but did complain it was a little too darkly lit. I know the film was underground but it does make the setting boring.
Fantastic

Bedtime Stories 
When Skeeter Bronson starts to tell his niece and nephew bedtime stories, little does he realise that they will start to come true. Hilarious family comedy starring Adam Sandler.
