Absolute waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (17 October 2006)

I think its safe to say that the original intent behind movie trailers was to entice movie goers without showing all of the good (and or funny, if applicable) parts.
Safe assumption normally right? After just seeing the movie (against my will btw) I can now say that the trailers for this awful movie missed the mark on both counts. The 'best' parts of this gimmicky crapfest were shown in the trailers, and even they weren't very good. And I can honestly say that short of figuring out every detail, anyone with a half (maybe even a quarter) of a brain could have figured out the entire plot for this crapper from the trailer, thereby invalidating the whole enticement idea. I mean, who could have seen that revelatory ending coming?!? (Yep, that was sarcasm)
This movie might have been OK as an SNL skit, back when Sandler was funny, but instead is drawn out, relies way too much on its gimmick, and is downright mean in tone for most of the movie.
And plotpoint: the only good part about the whole remote control thing (using it for sex), and Sandler's character uses it to SHORTEN the amount of time it takes to have sex with Kate Beckinsale??? If this gobbler wasn't bad for all the other reasons, this alone would have ruined it for me.
I've read some of the positive reviews about this turkey, and most agree that it reminded them to stop and take a look around before life passes them by. Which is a great sentiment, one that I live my life by as much as I can.
But if a person needs to watch a movie that beats them in the face this hard to remind them to stop and enjoy what they have, then they must really be ignoring their own lives indeed.
One of the worst movies I have ever seen; I guarantee disappointment with this one.
