Summary:
Michael Newman is married to
the beautiful Donna and they have two terrific kids, Ben and Samantha. But he
doesn't get to see them much because he's putting in long, hard hours at his
architectural firm in the elusive hope that his ungrateful boss will one day
recognize his invaluable contribution and make him a partner. After staying up
all night to work, a tired Michael becomes frustrated because he can't even
figure out which of his remotes will turn on the TV. Michael sets out to find
the perfect device to operate all his electronic equipment and stumbles into the
back room of a Bed, Bath & Beyond, where an eccentric employee, Morty, gives
him an experimental one-of-a-kind souped-up gadget guaranteed to change his
life. Soon Michael is master of his domain, turning on every appliance with the
click of a button. But the device has more startling functions. It can somehow
muffle the barking of Sundance, the family dog--and even more astoundingly, fast
forward through an annoying quarrel with his wife. Michael is fascinated by his
new toy and a little freaked out as well. He decides to pay another visit to
Morty, the guy who sold him the mysterious device. Morty tells Michael he gave
him exactly what he asked for--a universal remote that lets him control his
universe. Right before Michael's astonished eyes, Morty demonstrates the
device's mind-boggling advanced features, including a function that lets Michael
travel back and forth through his life at different speeds. Michael quickly
becomes addicted to this new rush of power, which literally allows him to have
his cake and eat it too. But before he knows it, the remote is programming him,
rather than the other way around. And try as he might, a panicked Michael can't
stop the device from deciding which events of his life he'll experience and
which one's he'll miss. Only then does he begin to truly appreciate and embrace
his life--the good, the bad and the ugly.
