...star is unlikely to change his style. Why should he, since in the past decade he's headlined nine movies that have grossed more than $100 million at the domestic box office? Zohan showed he could play a smarter, livelier, more active character and still connect with the mass audience. But in Bedtime Stories he's back to the old, tightly-wound Adam. In one of his exchanges with creepy Kendall, Skeeter says, "And me, I'm like the stink on your feet. I ain't ever goin' anywhere." That line could be a threat, or a confession...
