I tried not to expect too much out of this movie. The plot was very simple, a man uses a remote control to control his universe, but his life starts to change once the remote control uses its memory to program itself to what it thinks are Michael's (Adam Sandler's) preferences. We knew that this was going to be interesting, but newest Adam Sandler movies are not as glorious as everyone provoked them to be.
I was pretty surprised by this movie however. As decently funny as it was, there was a lot of drama thrown in there also (especially towards the end). The dramatic scenes really showed how this movie was unlike the previous line of Happy Madison movies, so it will tend to stick out. The comedy was good but not as much as I would have liked; a few key lines stick out. I thought overall it was enjoyable and entertaining, a good time waster if you will.
Probably the best it could have been, so I can't ask for much more. 6 out of 10 stars.
