I was expecting this film to suck. I thought it was going to be slapstick and boobs, but it was much more.

Perhaps it's because I have young kids and a husband who is constantly looking at his blackberry, I dunno. I really enjoyed it. I laughed, I cried, it was better than the time I went to see Cats at a really old theater in Baltimore, sat in the back so I couldn't hear anything, and was worrying about my daughter being at the babysitters for so long.

If you like Adam Sandler, I recommend it.

This is Adam Sandler's best movie yet. In this one he is a overworked archtiect who is always trying to please his boss David Hassellholf and spending time with his family. His wife is played by Kate Beckinsale and his parents are played by the guy who played fonnzy on Happy Days and his mom is the person who does the voice of marge simpson. It has it share of funny moments and it's very touching moments. From that point on, he meets Christopher Walkin, who gives him a universal remote control that controls the universe. It can do anyting, he can mute his dog and anybody who talks. He can change the language the people speak, he can go back and look at old memories, he can also skip to the future, like if he didnt want to take a shower, he would fast-foward. But the bad part happens when he fast fowards to his promotion, his promotion didn't come untill a year later, and since he did that, the remote automatically skips all showers, all the times he has sex with his wife and it skips him to his next promotion which is another ten years he skips and then comes the more sad stuff.

I bought this film because when I rented it it made me cry and I knew I wanted it in my collection. It may be the ONLY Adam Sandler movie I will ever own. The story is wonderful, the acting really good and the funny moments in it aren't overdone or immature as much as Sandler's material is. The hidden gem in this film is Sean Austin and Henry Winkler. Both do a wonderful job with the parts they were given. I highly recommend this film, esp if you enjoy a good cry.

The spiritual metaphors are rampant in this intelligently and cleverly orchestrated film. When the movie is over, you'll be inspired to enjoy every moment more than you already do, and that's saying a lot!

Though the primary spiritual messages are clear as day, you may have to watch it two or three times just to pick up on all the subtleties that make this shine as one of the best spiritual movies in quite some time... especially considering it is targeted towards mainstream audiences.

If you don't like Adam Sandler, then I strongly urge you to give this film a try... it truly is his best. And if you are a Sandler fan, then you won't be disappointed despite there being much less slapstick humor in this movie than his others.
