Review
This movie represents life of a workaholic man; Michael Newman who doesn’t spend much time with his wife and children. He spends his life time on his work because he thinks that hard working can bring his family a better life. Thus he tries to work hard to get a promotion. While his family needs him to concern about them or do some family activities together. One day, he was so disappointed that his boss does not get a promotion for him. Furthermore, he had an argument with his wife. He thinks that he wants to make his life much easier. So he ran away from home to find a universal remote control to satisfy his needs. Then, he finally found Morty, a sale clerk in Bath, Bed and beyond shop who gives him a universal remote control which will change his life forever.
When he goes back home, he uses this remote control when he’s got dissatisfied feeling such as, take a cold shower in the morning, get a traffic jam during goes to work, having argument with his wife or others, getting sick or catch a cold or even have a boring sex. The first time he uses this remote control, he feels happy and thinks that this high technology equipment is fantastic and worthwhile for him. But he doesn’t know this special remote control will remember all of his preferences whether he likes or not. So it reflects a bad thing to him. When he faces these kinds of situation, it will fast forward for him. When he sees his painful life that his wife was leaving him and he also has a lot of deceases because of eating a lot of junk food, he wants to return it to Morty but it cannot returnable. It will belong to him forever until he died. At the end of this movie, he’s got a heart attack at his son’s wending. When he’s wake up, he found that he was in a hospital and cannot breathe by himself. Then, his son said that he was canceling his honeymoon because he needs to solve the problem about his project. Finally, Michael has an idea that family comes first. So he ran away from the hospital to tell his son and then he died, but when he wakes up he found that he was alive and look younger. Thus he changes himself to become a family man and the film ended happily.
At the first time I watched this movie, I thought that this movie is the best movie ever of Adam Sandler and really fantastic movie which is match for everybody. The movie provide the audience concerns more to their family and let them think about what will be happening next if they work too hard. This remote control is just like a time machine that makes people be able to see the past and future life. In the future life of Michael, he found that he ignores and feel bored with his father and mother. Moreover, due to his hard working, he neglects his health and consumes more junk food. So in his future, he became a fat man with lots of deceases. This scene shows the behavior of people’s today. In this movie, Michael can see his future life that he makes a lot of mistakes, so he can change himself to become a good man. But in the real world, there is no real universal remote control and people cannot see the past and future. There is the only one thing they could do is making everything as best as you can before it is becoming too late for you. Furthermore, if you think that the word ‘family must come first’ is very important for you; you will be never regret as in the movie, Michael Newman does. Moreover, for people who are a workaholic, they need to do as the film says ‘good guy need a break’.
