One to fast forward!

The simple choices you make in life, creates the life you'll live. So what bits would you choose to fast forward through or even slow-mo if given the choice? Those are the types of decisions that Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) must make when he obtains a truly universal remote control. From the trailer, I had expected a humorous (well at least an Adam Sandler) movie, but the laughs are very few and far between, what this movie did have was a traditional 'family and love should come before career/work' tale. This type of movie has been done many times before in films such as Family Man, It's a Wonderful Life and even Scrooge. This movie isn't a Dicken's classic, but thankfully its also is not as strained as Family Man. Worth a watch on TV, but don't waste money on getting it on DVD.
