Strange, But Not Bad

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2006)

Spoilers? After Fifty First Dates, you didn't think Adam Sandler would be in another strange film, right. No. Even so, this movie is just as good. When Micheal Newman receives a couple of small tragic incidents (mistaking a Chinese boy for his son, etc.), he goes out one night, looking for a regular Universal remote. But when he ends up in a tiny lab, he meets Morty, an inventor of some kind. Morty is played by Christopher Walken, the best actor in the movie, and he gives Micheal a so-called regular remote. Soon, he finds out how to control his boss (David Hasselhoff) and his wife (Kate Beckinsale) and most everyone else with it. Until he uses auto-pilot too much, all he can do is watch the years slip by in days.
