A Pleasant Surprise

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 2007)

I got this film not expecting very much from it except to be a light hearted comedy with the usual plot of the Adam Sander genre i could now be called, but i was very surprised to find quite a deep and emotional plot. The humour of an Adam Sander film is there with great performances from supporting actors such as Christopher Walken as the aptly named Morty who adds so many of the laughs.A story about one mans struggle to balance his work life with his family life but gets his priority's all wrong and is given a chance to redeem himself with a technological advancement that is a remote control that controls the universe, doesn't sound like an epic movie thats what i thought at first but it really is,I really was surprised with how enjoyable the film was and would recommend it to anyone. definitely worth a watch.
