okay, so it's not a fall movie, but we did just watch it the other night.

This is one of those movies that just sorta looked dumb to me but I was reminded of it when I saw the trailer for it on one of our recent netflix and I thought, "Oh, why not."

It is a modern day morality play. A story based on an absurd premise that teaches one simple truth. It is in the same vein as Liar Liar and Bruce Almighty both of which turned out to be better than I had expected.

Adam Sandler plays a harried overworked dad who is given the ability to fast forward through all the difficulties of life only to discover that he has missed out on life itself. There is the usual sophmoric comedy here and there but there were also moments when both the wife and I thought, "Ouch, that hits close to home . . ." Its a good movie and one I would especially recommend to any dads out there.
