While the story is one we've seen many times before, the use of the remote control as a metaphor to show how life can slip away on a wayward track if we choose to let it slip away, the execution was actually okay. You do get the laughs from the use of the remote control from Sandler's character, it's hit or miss, but some are just classic bits that had me rolling, but it's toned down a bit, I suspect. The remainder of the film goes for a more personal look into consequences of allowing misguided ambition rule one's life.
That being said, any film that lambasted Hasselhoff's character in funny scenes is worth a matinee viewing.
I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
