A married workaholic, Michael Newman doesn't have time for his wife and children, not if he's to impress his ungrateful boss and earn a well-deserved promotion. So when he meets Morty, a loopy sales clerk, he gets the answer to his prayers: a magical remote that allows him to bypass life's little distractions with increasingly hysterical results.

I saw this when I was very young, I still can't get through it with out crying, it start funny and all but when you don't expect it, it hits you up right in the feels. 😭 It's a roller coaster of emotions for me idk maybe I'm weird.
this is one of best work of Adam Sandler.
I like to watch this movie time to time just to remind me to appreciate my life, my time and think more about my actions. you may find it funny but this movie taught me great lessons.

Lulls you in as a typical silly Sandler flick (complete with potty humour) but then does a sneaky on you half way through and goes for the sentimental overload that hits you right in the feels. I keep thinking I'll get through it without crying but I never do.

First time watching this film, and to be totally honest I found it incredibly eye-opening and moving. I feel like I took plenty away from this, and I think it’s a film I could find myself watching again and again, there is a lot of be learnt from this film to remind us of our actions, and the importance of our life. I do not understand the negative reviews, I absolutely loved it. For me, Adam Sandlers best work and well Kate Beckinsale is absolutely beautiful and is aging like a fine wine.

Just wow. This film really has it all for me, humour, good story and motive and it really pulls on the heart strings. Really not what I expected from a Sandler film but this is definitely among the top films he's ever made.

I went into this film expecting to be crying, I recall seeing it when I was younger and remembered that it was sad, but couldn't remember specifics. There is a lot of emotions throughout this whole film, so make sure you've got tissues handy.

Firstly, Sandlers character is a difficult one to sympathise with, simply because he is so arrogant and impatient. There were many times when I thought "yeh you deserve to lose your wife if you behave like this". But that didn't stop it from being sad. Whilst I think this movie progressed really quickly, it definitely worked as the point of this movie felt like "life is quick". When it got to the later stages of his life it really started to get hard to watch without getting teary eyed. The scene where he last sees his father is a big one, one that really hurt, it made me want to just call my dad and talk to him forever.

The lesson of this film is outstanding, "family comes first" and it has an immensely effective way of getting that lesson across, I think this is going to be one of the films that I will never forget.

I could write lots about this film but I am struggling to find all the words.

It took me a while to realize that this movie was a version of a very common theme in stories and movies. If the movie has any credibility, it is due to the presence of some extremely fine actors. I am sure Sandler fans weren't happy at the lack of laughs, but I have always felt that Sandler's superpower was his ability to bring warmth to his characters.

Starts out so well with an interesting premise, then blows it halfway through. I would've loved if it was Sandler purposely using the remote to gain immense power & wealth, while distancing himself from his family -- ergo, pride goeth before a fall. But instead, we just have him being held hostage by the remote, while making immature or gross jokes throughout. This movie had a lot of potential, to the point of being similar to a Black Mirror episode, but they blew it. I can't imagine what drugs the other commenters were taking, but it must've been good.

Also Morty was annoying.
