A film starring Adam Sandler (Columbia, 2006).

An asshole gets a magic remote control and fast-forwards through his life.

D (Bad).

It's baffling how unrelatable this character is - an absolutely unlikable jerk who also makes the most inane choices at every opportunity. And [spoilers:] even though you know all along that it's inevitable for this movie to have a terrible ending, it manages to surprise by being even lazier than you thought it could.

Substance: Although it was necessary to account for Chan's presence in the story of an English gentleman and his French valet, it was not at all necessary to mangle the story to extent perpetrated by the screenwriters. As always, Chan's fights were artfully choreographed, but the story-line and characters were juvenile in the worst sense of the word.

Adam Sandler's pretty entertaining in here, but Fairuza Balk and Kathy Bates are the treats of this film.

Not a bad flick. Adam Sandler's character gets a remote that enables him to fast forward/rewind and etc through his life which seems pretty great but unravels as he loses control of the remote.
