What if you had a universal remote... That controlled your universe?
A harried workaholic, Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) doesn't have time for his wife (Kate Beckinsale) and children, not if he's to impress his ungrateful boss and earn a well-deserved promotion. So when he meets Morty (Christopher Walken), a loopy sales clerk, he gets him to bypass life's little distractions with increasingly hysterical results. But as Michael gleefully mutes, skips and scans past his family and his friends, the remote gradually takes over his life and begins to program him, in this fast, funny and out-of-control comedy adventure.

This movie, as unrealist as it is, will make you grab you remote and point it at your dog. It is not meant to be a serious thriller or anything...it is a funny movie that is based around the life of a architect who cannot seem to get his career and life in order. In an attempt to fast forward to when he is more successful, he uses his remote to transcend him to a time of his promotion (missing his entire childrens' lives along the way). It is about regret and the forever old competition between family and work. A good watch...definitely makes you want to call your dad or grandad to say hello.Great Movie! - skylar22
I didn't think this movie would make me cry! It did! And laugh and think. It has a great story line that was delivered well without being cheesy. I loved the characters and the concepts was different. The story didn't go the way I thought it would which was a nice change from a comedy. I recommend this one for sure. You will enjoy it.Misread - The_Gauch
I think the reason this film has so many mixed reviews from loving to hating it is that it was marketed in the wrong way completely. All the trailers pointed to the slapstick, hilarious gags people expect from Sandler and not the more touching angles that are often found in many of Sandler's comedies. The film starts out as a typical Sandler comedy with the dog humping, crazy remote control stuff, Sandler bashing kids (probably the only actor who can get away with this stuff and still make us laugh), and other Sandler staples. This also includes one of the funniest gas gags ever with David Hasselhoff - I still laugh out loud just thinking about it. About mid-way through the movie however, the tone starts to change. As the film progresses the message borrowed from a Wonderful Life (and why some people think that's a problem I don't understand) begins to gets more and more serious. I must say I had a few tears near the end. For this reason, many people probably felt like they were being preached at or mislead because it certainly does not end like a comedy. For me though, this is what I liked about the movie - hilarious with a moving point made. I loved it.
