Emotionally realistic

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2006)

Many people viewing this movie may say the first half of the movie didn't match up or help present the second half of the serious side of the movie. I started to think this way also, until i got to thinking.
This movie has kind of a realistic emotional timeline because Sandler is happy/funny when he first receives the "universal remote", but as he begins to notice how advance the remote really is, he gets frustrated. This is true to many people, many people will take advantage and abuse this type of device. They will completely skip all of the "unwanted" events of their lives, and go straight to the moment of "achievement".
Unconciously, as Walker says, Sandler has been skipping the unwanted moments of his life, rushing everything and everyone to get to that one moment of happiness. The remote realizes this pattern, and is only trying to help. Once Sandler begins to skip his whole life, first ten years then six years, he notices how wrongly he went through his life. Then the chain effect just kept rolling down and took complete control over his life.
Once you start these bad habits, that can affect the way you live your life, it is hard to notice which moments in life are significant and non-significant. The moral of the story is to take life as it comes, take it by the moment and don't miss life's opportunities.
