A bit weird

Rating: 6/10 (18 January 2007)

Picked this up expecting a pretty average, zany Adam Sandler comedy. It was for about 30 minutes, then went really dark.
The movie is built around the premise that Adam Sandler gets a remote control that lets him pause, fats forward and rewind etc his life. I'm sure you're thinking of hilarious situations he could get into already. After about half an hour though his remote automatically goes into auto search and he skips "chapeters" of his life and witnesses the fall of himself. Won't go into detail but the movie turns from a wacky comedy into food for thought about our lives and how we live them.
Thought provoking a times, with some OK gags, but probably not what Sandler fans would hope for.
