UPDATE - Ask Adam Sandler a “Bedtime Stories” question

UPDATE on Dec. 24: Thanks to all our readers for their kids’ comments and questions. Adam has replied back and answered six of them. They can be found by clicking here.

Here’s an opportunity that doesn’t come along very often at Reuters. Usually, we on the entertainment staff get to ask the stars questions and report back to you, but this holiday, we’re offering your kids the chance to ask a question of comedian Adam Sandler. Call it our gift, albeit a small one and one that is courtesy of Adam.

Adam stars in the upcoming holiday comedy “Bedtime Stories,” a family film in which he plays a hotel handyman named Skeeter Bronson, who loves to tell his niece and nephew bedtime stories. But his and his family’s life take an odd turn when the tall tales he tells begin to come true, and gets even further complicated when the kids begin to offer their own contributions. The movie opens on Christmas Day.

Sandler, 42, is a father of two kids and the star of family films such as “Click.” He’s a former “Saturday Night Live” comedian, has record hit music like his “Hannukah Song,” and made numerous movies in his career from “Happy Gilmore” and “The Waterboy” to “50 First Dates” and “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.”

Adam doesn’t do many print interviews, but did agree to answer questions from kids, ages 17 and under. He hasn’t given us any restrictions on what you can ask. So, question away! We on the Reuters entertainment staff will collect them, give some to Adam and publish his answers later this month toward the opening of “Bedtime Stories.” So, if you are under 17 or have a kid under 17 who wants to ask a question, do so by posting the question in a comment.

Happy Holidays!

Dear Adam,

Are you as stupid in real life as you are in your movies?
Please be honest.

Mr. Sandler: What is the favorite movie you have made? We really like all of them!

Adam- If you could ever make a sequel to a movie you were previously in, which one would it be and why?

Mr. Sandler,

I am not child but a teacher. My class and I are trying to write a song for Hanukkah, however instead of using celebrities, we would like to use people who have made a difference in our world such as Albert Einstein, Jonas Salk, Carl Marx, etc, etc, (too many to mention).

Can you help us?

Adam - who would you put on the Comedy Mount Rushmore? That is, in your opinion - who are the 4 funniest people most deserving of having their faces carved into a mountain?
