Directed by Frank Coraci

Plot: A workaholic architect, who has been overlooking his family in favor of his career, comes across a universal remote that allows him to perform TiVo-like functions on his life, such as pausing events or fast-forwarding over them. When the remote begins creating its own memory and choosing what to fast-forward over, the man sees how much of his personal life has passed him by and realizes the importance of spending more time with his family.

Review: I have been an Adam Sandler fan for some time, but never know what to think from film to film. I loved some of the early films like The Wedding Singer and Waterboy, but wasn’t a fan of Little Nicky or Mr. Deeds. I really liked the trailer to this movie and thought it looked like a fun movie. What I got was something more.

I actually really liked this movie. It was funny, touching, and somewhat original. The story itself wasn’t so much original, but had that Christmas Carol vibe. Adam Sandler gave a great performance all the way around. Kate Beckinsale didn’t do much here, but she stayed really hot all the way through and that was enough for me. Christopher Walken, as usual, stole the show. He wasn’t in the film much, but when he was he was entertaining and creepy. The scenes with Adam Sandler and the next-door neighbor kid had me laughing out loud. The story itself goes from a Sandler type comedy to a touching dramedy with a good message. Overall I really enjoyed this film and recommend it.
