Movie Mad Review:
Adam Sandler plays Michael Newman,a workaholic architect working hard to keep his wife (Kate Beckinsale) and kids happy.
One night, Michael is on the road in search of an open store that may sell him a universal remote control to make his life easier.
At the Bed, Bath, & Beyond store, Michael meets Morty (Christopher Walken), the inventor of a very advanced piece of technology, a remote control that not only controls his TV, but controls his whole LIFE!!!
Now that he's using the remote on a regular basis, his work-life and family-life are finally in balance, he's trying harder than he ever imagined to spend more time with his family.
Now, frustrated that his stuck up boss (David Hasselhoff) hasn't made him partner at his construction firm yet, he uses the remote to fast-forward through his life until his promotion.
The remote is alearning remote, and starts to fast-forward through crucial moments in his life, including arguments, foreplay, traffic etc..
One year turns into ten years and then another six years.
`Sandler' is outstanding, back to his hilarious best...
`Beckinsale' plays an easy but brilliant wife, could she get any sexier, Wow!...
`Walken' is good, but the part is just too easy for him...
This movie is very entertaining, and will make you think long and hard about your own life for many hours after you leave the theater.
The story is excellent and the first 30 minutes are priceless, but the movie drifts off somewhat for about 45 minutes, and appears to get slightly lost, as the hilarity loses pace!
But I still enjoyed it very much, because of a good cast and a great script.
This movie sends lots of messages about life, and teaches us all a very good lesson.
I also loved the soundtrack, lots of great older songs used throughout the film, however these are sadly missing from the Soundtrack CD.
It will truly make you "think"............
Worth Watching ?
Definately worth watching for the cast and storyline!
