atrocity

Rating: 1/10 (15 August 2007)

The only way that this movie can get any worse was if.., oh, wait, it can't. Every stupid, overused comedy ploy that surfaces in every comedy to come out in the past five years.
Basically, it's just this prick father who gets a universal remote (that has a literal meaning, how funny), at a department store called Bed Bath and Beyond (get it, beyond, hardy har har har), who uses the remote to fast-forward his life and skip his work, which he can just pause his life for, and skips having sex with his ridiculous hot wife Kate Beckinsale (how realistic). Also, the scene with the Middle-Eastern businessmen is absolutely sickening.
It ends up that he skips years and years and misses out on his father's death and his kids growing up and the end has Adam Sandler in horrible old man makeup running down the street screaming his son's name "BEN, BEN, BEN", as an attempt to take on a serious role, which makes him even more of an embarrassing actor.
If you're thinking this movie's funny, it's not. If you want to see it to laugh at for being so pathetic, go right ahead.
