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.Written by

Goofs
The position of SunDance changes repeatedly throughout the beginning scenes. When we first see him he is curled up at the end of the sofa, in the next shot he is curled up with his head stretched out, next shot he is lying outstretched with Michael's feet on him, and the next shot he has gone completely.

[Michael rewinds to his family's camping trip at Lake Winnipesaukee in the 70s]
Uh uh uh, no cupcakes yet!
Michael at 10 Years Old:
But I'm starving!
Ted:
I know exactly how you feel, Michael, I'm so hungry, I could eat this quarter!
Michael Newman:
Ah, so THIS is where the quarter trick started.
Morty:
[watches Ted bite the quarter in half and then spit it whole again, amazed]
How did he do that?

It's a trick coin you buy in a magic shop, I just couldn't ever let him know I knew that.

Crazy Credits
This movie is dedicated to my mom and dad, and to all our parents who never thought twice about putting their family first. And to my wife and daughter, thanks for making it so easy for me to do the same. See more »
I have to say I did not expect to enjoy this movie. My son wanted to see it and finally I gave in & said yes. I thought I was going to have to sit through an hour & a half of mindless comedy. WRONG! This movie did not have a slow moment. There were plenty of laughs for all ages. The 10 yr olds with me didn't get the meaning behind the movie but enjoyed every moment of it. When the movie was over people clapped and were saying that was a great movie. You really must see it! I think a movie that keeps the attention of children and adults is absolutely worth seeing. Although it was full of laughs, keep a napkin handy for a few moments of tears.....
