By far the best comedy movie in years

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2006)

This movie was wonderful. It had drama and a lot of original jokes that don't get old. Everyone wishes they could mute someone or go back in time and fast forward through something, this movie let Michael Newman, an overly working architect do that. He even used the contrast button on the remote and turned himself into a green guy and a purple dude. It is true how kids grow up fast, he missed one year and his kids had moved from dragon tales to watching CSI. That scene was very funny, i was disappointed in seeing parents bring five year old kids to see a pg-13 movie on which the adds clearly showed sexual themes. But i suppose parents do that a lot nowadays, this movie had a very comic affect even when he didn't have the remote. Then it got very touching when he went to the future and his dad was dead, then he lost his wife and his father died and he missed him though he never thought he would. The neighbor Kevin O'Doyle, the annoying little brat who seems to try to make Newmans life suck and always brags about the cool things his family has. It was hilarious when Newman got his brief payback. This is the first movie since Fun with Dick and Jane and Big Momma's house 2 when i heard the whole theater laugh out loud. LArry the cable guy and date movie seemingly didn't have that effect. I almost cried watching this movie and i am hardly ever touched, the film was far more original than any other recent film without using the gross or mentally challenged humor. Don't pass this movie by, its an all around great movie.
