Synopsis:
Michael Newman (Sandler) is a hard
working family man, who must please his boss (Hasselhoff), in order to get
promoted. Problem is he gets less time with his family, and wishes for a remote
in which he can control his life. This soon comes true for Newman, when he meets
Morty (Walken), a crazy sales clerk, who has the ultimate remote. A remote in
which he can do anything, including muting, skipping and dubbing his life. He
finds this to be the opportunity in which he can not only skip every argument,
but also skip to his promotion. He sees this as a good idea, until the remote
goes horribly wrong.
Nate's Rating: D :
Had a few funny parts but not enough to make it
worthwhile. The premise itself doesn't give much to go on, and the film doesn't
even build on that. The movie doesn't make sense, which could be forgivable,
but then it tries to make sense and really fails badly. But we all learn a
valuable lesson in the end - fast forward buttons are way underused.
Sebastian's Rating: B :
oh come on you guys are being waayy to harsh. I liked this movie the
morrel was good there were some funny scenes and there were some silly scenes
(what do you expect! this is adam sandler) but this movie was a good movie i did
enjoy it so i'm giving it a solid B :|
The Freak's
Rating: D : If Kate Beckinsale is not
in this film for me to look at for two hours, it
fails miserably. The only humor I found
was with the supporting cast. Christopher
Walken, on a dare apparently, stars as the "mad
scientist" who designs the remote control.
His turn was mildly amusing. When David
Hasselhoff steps in as Sandler's boss he too has
a few funny lines. The rest is utter
dribble. The aforementioned Beckinsale
could fold her laundry on screen for two hours
and I'd buy a ticket to see it. Sandler
has hit bottom with this one in my opinion.
