Not Award Winning but it's a Sandler CLASSIC!

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2006)

I really liked this movie, not for the fact that it's another great comedy hit by Sandler, but because he finally made a great comedy without the help of his 'friends' (you know, all the actors in his other comedies like Big Daddy and Mr. Deeds, actors like Peter Dante, Steve Buscemi, Blake Clark, Rob Schneider, Allen Covert or Jonathan Loughran...although I LOVE the fact that Henry Winkler plays his father, a classic!) This movie is about family, and the importance of putting it first above anything else in your life. In this movie, Sandler goes into a store looking for an all purpose remote that eventually ends up controlling his life. Christopher Walken ends up being the one giving him this magical remote *Spoiler* -(who later ends up being the Angel of Death.)But warns Sandler that this remote remembers your every move, so you should use it with caution. To make a story short, Sandler finds himself always choosing work over his family life, and *spoler* eventually the remote goes on auto-pilot and skips over everything that he chose to fast-forward though (like showering, sickness, arguments, driving. etc.) This movie is VERY EMOTIONAL (I found myself breaking down crying more than once) and is for kids of all ages (although rated PG in Canada, one f-word does get slipped it, but it's very appropriate, so parents be warned.) This movie is chucked full of morals of the heart and is definitely a winner if you are a fan of not only Adam, but just great movies in general!!! 9 stars!!!!!
