I designed the remote in Adam Sandler’s Click: ‘Sony wanted us to put their name on it’

To an extent, it was. The premise of a guy who obtains a magical remote control which allows him to control his universe by pausing, muting, and fast-forwarding the world around him as he pleases offered plenty of hilarious, often low-brow moments (like Sandler speeding through foreplay and accidentally skipping sex with his wife entirely). Yet it also contained some surprisingly poignant messages about the fragility of life and being grateful for what you have.
