Headscratchers / Bedtime Stories (2008)

Go To

  • The children mention gumballs when Skeeter tells them the first story. They mention the next day that they're not allowed to chew gum. Did they mention it for Wish-Fulfillment?
  • How does a bee end up in Skeeter's ice cream? Okay, the film's plot involves the idea that everything the kids say happens in their bedtime stories happens for real the following day, but it makes no sense why a bee would be stuck in the ice cream on the first place. Bees don't sting ice cream!
    • But they do drink sugary liquids. Presumably the bee flew down to take a sip of the ice cream and got stuck.
  • How is it possible that the guy who stole Skeeter's wallet a few days ago still has his wallet with all his money and documents there? Shouldn't he have taken the money and disposed of the documents by then?
  • If Kendall had been successful in blowing up the school with Patrick and Bobbi inside, would he have gone to jail for it? Of course, due to being a Jerkass, Kendall didn't bother to check if anyone was still in the building, but Patrick and Bobbi should already know that the school was going to be demolished and everything inside it will be destroyed, and Kendall did warn the protesters to ensure their safety.
