Didn't all click with me.

Rating: 5/10 (12 September 2015)

Wouldn't it be great if you could control your own destiny and see your past again with a click of a remote control? It sounds incredible, but Adam Sandler's Michael Newman character proves that dealing with life is best to just go with the flow, and don't take what you have for granted.
This movie had the potential to be a great adventure or comedy, as with films that deal with time travel or something similar. Aside from some slapstick humor and comedy, like the scenes where Michael makes the baseball hit the bully neighbor and him slapping his boss in the face, much of the humor is overshadowed by the excessive clichÃ© and tasteless sexual innuendos (especially involving the dog and the toy), which I thought weren't even remotely funny.
You are asked to sympathize with Michael when the remote control gets out of control, and he sees his life passes right before his eyes and into some life and death situations. But, Sandler's sometimes overbearing acting was a bit of a turn off and the mediocre acting by Christopher Walken was a bit boring. The pacing of the plot wasn't very solid, therefore, didn't generate much suspense.
There are some laughable moments and some touching ones as well, especially toward the climax, but overall, I've seen funnier stuff.
Grade D+
