It's A Wonderful Life Meets Back To The Future

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2006)

Imagine if you had remote that not only worked on your television, but worked on everything else around you, if you were able to pause time, fast forward, rewind it even. That is what Adam Sandlers character has to answer, he plays Michael Newman, an overworked architect who seems to have very little time to spend with family, he seems to become distant from his kids and his loving but frustrated wife Donna(Kate Beckinsale), one day Michael decides to go buy a universal remote at Bed, Bath And, Beyond, and comes across an inventor named Morty(Christopher Walkin), And Morty gives him a universal remote. But Michael soon discovers that this remote doesn't just work on the T.V. , but on everything else around, the remote has power to forward and rewind time, and even pause it, and much much more. Michael begins to have fun with. But what happens when Michael gets a little carried away with it? Although I would not call this movie a crowning achievement, It was quite enjoyable for the most part. I do admire Adam Sandler for trying to give a descent performance, and playing Michael not just as a great big silly head. It had incredible effects also. Christopher Walkin And Kate Beckinsale were also good in there roles also.
