Review of Bedtime Story

. . . to get married to someone else for a day every now and then. As the old saying goes, "Variety is the spouse of Life." BEDTIME STORY's "Jane" is a stymied would-be mom, frustrated that her husband "Luke" always is too busy seeding his ideas into his stage plays that will fill the theater to get the lay of the land and do any sowing in her garden. All it takes is part of one evening in a hotel honeymoon suite with interim hubby "Bill" for Jane to prove her fertility. Hot on the rounded heels of BEDTIME STORY's release, sperm "banks" opened their drawers across the USA. Plain Jane's no longer needed to play the mating game to fool their Bill. However, as FIVE FEET APART has been preaching this month in movie theaters, some gals still are dead-set in favor of the "human touch." For such Fundamentalist women, a maid performing "dust" service is of little interest. However, a man serving as husband-for-a-day and performing his "conjugal duties" could easily get her maternal oven baking. The niceties of Roman Censorship may have veiled much of BEDTIME STORY's message for contemporary viewers. But with so many Perps on offender registries nowadays, forcing ladies to stick with just one spouse at a time should be the least of Rome's worries.
