Not what you might expect...

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2006)

I have seen my share of Adam Sandler films, and most of them were borderline moronic.
This movie is - for the most part too- if you like the humor of the man - which is always the same- you will have your share of laughs. And indeed in this film the humor is brought in a way that is actually funny ( especially the spoiled brat next door joke, which is very funny)
However around 3/4 of the movie there is a sharp turn and something I thought would never happen actually happened.. it struck a cord. The story revolves around a man getting a universal remote, a remote that controls his universe, so the predictable things happen until he finds out that everything he fast forwards through - hard work for a promotion but also the divorce of his wife and the death of his father- is really gone in the wind. Like another reviewer said "it makes you think"and it actually does. This movie is more sensitive and hearth warming then I ever thought possible.
Very very recommended, and there is at least one person on this planet that rethought his opinion of Mr Adam Sander.
