- ★★★★☆
- jun, 2006
- director ― frank coraci
- starring ― adam sandler; kate beckingsale; henry winkler; christopher walken
- ♥ ― the time-travel remote concept itself and being able to view old memories; towards the end when michael realises he should have cherished time with his father a lot more; the moment michael runs after his own son in the rain when he's on his deathbed and "dies" (this always makes me cry).
