Wolverines goofy cousin.....,

Rating: 8/10 (8 December 2012)

Michael Newman is a loving father and husband, but he's got an office and a career he sees more often. To only make matters worse is a boss who takes everything for granted, including advantage of Michael by dangling a promotion in front of his face.
But when one late night trip to a Bed, Bath and Beyond store for a new remote control, Michael finds himself in the possession of a new kind of remote control, developed by an eccentric inventor.
A remote control so significant that it allows Michael to be able to fast forward, rewind, pause and practically control all the events in his life.
It becomes a luxury for the overworked man who finally gets some quality time with his family and his life.
But not everything lasts forever, when the remote control begins to malfunction, causing Michael to deal with the consequences....
It was only a matter of time, but Sandler has made his own take on 'it's a wonderful life' with really not that bad results. If you love Sandler and all of his movies, you will lap this up, it's made for you.
If you don't, this is probably the most mainstream film he has made sine he played Robbie Hart. It's not that rude, bar a few comments, and surprisingly for a Sandler movie, it really pulls the heart strings near the end.
Films like these have been made time and time again, and the moral of the film 'work to live, not live to work' has also been done time and time again, but when it's this much fun, do you really care?
A fun movie
