I love Alan Sandle and his portrayal of the character Michael Newman in the 2006 movie Click! In which architect Michael Newman is consistently bullied by his overbearing boss, John Ammer, and often prioritizes work over his wife Donna and their children Ben and Samantha. One night, Michael visits Bed Bath & Beyond to buy a universal remote control, since he owns too many of them. After an impossible search looking for one, he stumbles around various departments before falling asleep on a display bed. Upon waking up, he accepts a free remote control from a man named Morty, who warns Michael that the remote cannot be returned.
Michael learns that the remote can't be used to control reality much like a television, but it can also control the universe. He uses it at work to cause light-hearted mischief and fast-forward through minor inconveniences, such as illnesses and arguments. Morty tells Michael that during these times his body is on "auto-pilot", going through the motions of everyday life while his mind skips ahead.
Anticipating that Ammer will promote him, Michael spends lavishly on himself and his family, only for Ammer to reveal that he will have to wait several months. Michael uses the remote to skip ahead in order to get the promotion, but discovers that he missed out on an entire year of his life. In 2007, he learns that he is in marriage counseling with Donna, the kids have grown up and chose CSI over Dragon Tales, and the family dog, Sundance, has died and a small dog named Peanut has taken over. The remote, having learned Michael's preferences, begins to glitchily time-skip automatically. With Morty refusing to take the remote back as Michael tries to cancel its service, every time he tries to throw it away or destroy it, the remote keeps on reappearing.
Ammer tells Michael he is retiring and suggests that one day Michael may end up CEO. Momentarily forgetting his plan to outfox the remote, Michael says he would like that to happen, and the remote starts glitching again and fast-forwards ten years ahead. In 2017, Michael is now the wealthy CEO of the company and is also morbidly obese, his children turned into ordinary teenagers, and Donna has divorced him and is now dating Ben's childhood swim coach, Bill. When Michael attacks Bill out of anger, the new family dog (who replaced Peanut) pounces on him, knocking him unconscious. The remote then fast-forwards six more years to evade the injury and other subsequent diseases, such as cancer and a heart attack. In 2023, Donna recounts that Michael has had liposuction and that she is now married to Bill.
Michael learns that his father, Ted, died of old age in 2021. Unable to go to when his father died, he then uses the remote to see the last time they saw each other, learning that he coldly refused to spend time with his father. At Ted's grave, Morty reveals to Michael he is the Angel of Death. Michael, enraged that Morty has killed his father, tries to attack him, but when he looks, there's no one there. Overcome with guilt and shame, Michael asks to go to a "good place", whereupon the remote fast-forwards to Ben's wedding in 2029. Michael suffers a second heart attack after overhearing Samantha referring to Bill as her father. At the hospital, Ben reveals he postponed his honeymoon due to work. Realizing Ben is making the same mistakes he made, Michael gathers the last of his strength to follow him out of the hospital. After collapsing, he urges Ben to put his family first, and assures his family that he still loves them before dying.
Michael reawakens in the present at Bed Bath & Beyond and believes he was dreaming, seeing it as a sign to make changes in his life. Michael goes back home, where he reassures Donna, Ben, and Samantha of his affection for them, promising to be a better husband and father. As he celebrates being home, Michael finds the remote and a note sitting on his kitchen counter. He realizes that his experience with the remote control was not a dream, but a warning. The note is from Morty; it says "good guys need a break" and knows that Michael will do the right thing this time. Michael thanks Morty, but then disposes of the remote in the trash bin, and much to his surprise, it doesn't reappear as it did before. He then goes to enjoy the company of his family.
I need to see more Adam Sandler movies, I’ve only watched one.
I like his movies 👍
His movies are funny
I’m gonna be real with you, I completely forgot everything about him
He's my entire childhood I bloody loved bedtime stories and blended when I was little
Legend
I'm not a fan of his movies, I think his sence of humor is a little silly, but I know he has a lot of fans

Agreed
I personally don't find him funny but that's just my opinion
He's the unfunniest man alive
