Plot Summary: Don’t you wish you had a universal remote control that could help you manage your entire life at the push of a button? Frustrated by a demanding boss (David Hasselhoff) and his loving, but nagging wife Donna (Kate Beckinsale), Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) is having difficulty balancing his professional career as an architect with his home life. Searching for ways to save time in any way, however minimally, Michael strolls into a department store looking for a universal remote for his entertainment system. He accidentally wanders into a back room where an odd scientist named Morty (Christopher Walken) convinces Michael to take his prototype remote. Soon, Michael is shocked to find all the truly “universal” qualities of the gadget he was given. Able to fast-forward past the dull parts of his life or change scenery whenever he desires, Michael can finally spend his days exactly as he wishes. However, his incredibly good fortune takes a turn for the worse once the magical remote begins to malfunction.
