(2.5 out of 5 stars)

Adam Sandler goes Disney. He tells outrageous fantasy stories to some kids and the stories become real, sort of, in his life causing some crazy circumstances for him and the ones around him. The stories would wow kids seeing the movie but generally bore the adult audience.

Sandler does fine as the storyteller and all other actors do fine as their fantasy characters and the present day people, but there is not enough heart in the movie to make an adult care about what is going on. Keri Russell, Courtney Cox, and Richard Griffiths support Sandler as various people I could have cared less about.

The effects and fantasy stories seemed Disneyfied and unoriginal with a space story, gladiator story, and others and did not provide the amount of amazement and wonder a movie like this should provide.

This movie is a bit of a sleeper and so, I guess, it is aptly titled. This movie could easily out someone to sleep and that is not a good thing.
