* BrokenBase: Is this a funny, legitimately heartfelt flick, or is it an obnoxious and melodramatic gross-out comedy with the usual gripes people have with Sandler's works, in addition to having a rather unsympathetic protagonist?

** The reveal that [[spoiler:Morty's the AngelOfDeath]] seems like an AssPull, to the point that it could be considered a BigLippedAlligatorMoment (See Above) but when you think about his role in the film. Giving the {{Jerkass}} protagonist the ability to see his future, [[BadFuture where he alienates everyone he loves and dies miserable and alone]] to get him to change his ways. [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Sound familiar?]] Besides [[Series/SaturdayNightLive what song comes into your head]] when you think about Creator/ChristopherWalken?

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
** When Michael arrives late for Ben's swim race, he accidentally mistakes a kid named Ping Woo for Ben. The kid calls him out on it, but just to mess with him he claims he might be, which obviously freaks him out. It's funny, but no one ever brings it up again. The closest is a CallBack when Michael goes after some punk kids letting off fire crackers, the kid and his family are seen in the same party as Michael and his family.
--->'''Ping Woo:''' ''(crying)'' I hate that man!
** ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'' thought that having Morty announce that he's the [[spoiler:AngelOfDeath]] was a strange thing to bring up late in the movie and never mention again. Of course this is due to it being a ThrowItIn by Creator/ChristopherWalken to link his role to another of his roles: former Archangel Gabriel from ''Film/TheProphecy.''

** For the first half of the film, it's a typical Creator/AdamSandler comedy, and the second half is more drama-orientated. One may see this as completely, and tonally inconsistent, or intentional. This is because in the comedy half, things go Michael's way when he uses the remote, like finishing architectural projects early or skipping moments he would not like to experience. When it shifts into drama, it indicates the consequences that have built up ever since he repeatedly used the remote, leading to him [[spoiler:alienating his wife and father, being a terrible role model for his son, and eventually, losing his life from heart failure]]. In conclusion, the first half represented the short-term happiness, while the second half is the long-term sadness that ensued from the remote.

* MagnificentBastard: [[TricksterMentor Morty]], [[DontFearTheReaper the Angel of Death]], starts off as a friendly Bed, Bath & Beyond backdoor worker hiding an advanced remote from the market. When workaholic Michael Newman buys it, Morty warns him that the product can't be returned, and will program itself based on its usage. This causes Michael to fast forward through his life, even trying and failing to destroy the remote. Morty later reveals that he is sending Michael through a BadFuture to teach him the value of family. Despite his trickery, Morty genuinely regrets taking the life of Michael's father Ted, and grants a dying Michael a second chance at life.

* OneSceneWonder: [[Creator/TerryCrews Terry Crews]] as the guy singing Loverboy's "Working For The Weekend" in his car when he and Michael are stuck in a traffic jam.
