Synopsis
Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) seems to have it all but his wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), is increasingly frustrated by the amount of time he has to spend at work. Michael cannot find time to be at home until he meets an eccentric inventor (Christopher Walken) who gives him a universal remote that controls time. At first he happily skips the boring times until he realizes the remote is in control of his life and he learns to cherish all the precious moments with his family.

What we learn from that movie
1. Family First, Work Second
From that movie, the husband has wrong priority from the beginning. He's in the rat race to chase the promotion to be in the highest rank in the company. His noble excuse is he doesn't want his family to suffer and enjoy a happy life but in the end he lost more than what he gains
Work is important, being responsible in the workplace is a good virtue but don't let work become our first priority because even though it may be gone anytime and we still can get it back but once our family is gone, we only left with regrets.
2. Cherish all the precious moments
In that movie, he made use of the "powerful Remote" and skipped those "boring" life.
When his parents came to have dinner, he was in autopilot and skipped all those moments until in the end his daddy died without him on his daddy's last breath.
In this fast pace world where we are living, we tend to forget to give thanks and pause for awhile, and enjoy the moments. We always worry about tomorrow and future and forget to live in the present.
Well as famous quote said, we don't know what tomorrow brings, so keep calm and enjoy the present.
3. There's no instant formula
From that movie, he wants to climb the rank fast, and he's dying to use any instrument to get him there. Yes, finally he got it there but there's always payback time.
In this new age where everything is expected to be solved instantly, there's a danger into it.
We love to use short cut to get what we want. In the end, we may need to payback what we have done to achieve our goals
4. Sex meant to be enjoyed by both
I know this is the typical couple problem. When the husband achieve the climax and left the wife behind unsatisfied
From that move, it reminds us that sex meant to be enjoyed by husband and wife and not making wife just another object of pleasure.
