Mysterious Bed, Bath & Beyond employee Christopher Walken gives workaholic Adam Sandler a magical remote control to aid him in his busy life. At first we get some predictable, Bruce Almighty type sight gages, but later the film does get deeper as Sandler discovers how much he misses by "fast forwarding" through life, both via the magical remote and his more lineal workaholism. The message of the film is that we miss the important things in life, namely family, if we concentrate to hard on material advancement. The sequences in which Sandler see’s a future in which he has largely alienated his own family, and suffers various health problems from his lack of good self matenence, are unusually resent for the actors comic work, they even boarder on being moving. In the end Sandler has his George Baily moment of personal understand and reconnects to family life with renewed gusto. Three out of Five.
Internal logic issue: Heterosexual man fast forwards through marriage to Kate Beckinsale, I don’t think so.

I really like your internal logic issue as I completely agree. What heterosexual man would fast forward through, not only a marriage to but sex with Kate Beckinsale?
I bordered on liking this film. It has it's moments of reflection and such but in the end, to me, it just couldn't make up it's mind about what it wanted to be.
