Plot Summary

Michael Newman (Sandler) is a hard-working family man who must please his boss (Hasselhoff) in order to get promoted. This gives him less time with his family, and he wishes for a remote with which to control his life. This soon comes true when he meets Morty (Walken), a crazy sales clerk who has the ultimate remote: a remote in which he can do anything, including muting, skipping, and dubbing his life. Michael finds this to be the opportunity in which he can not only skip every argument, but also skip to his promotion. He sees this as a good idea--until the remote goes horribly wrong.—Film_Fan
