Adam Sandler is a favorite among many. This 3rd part (out of 6) in my series describes Adam Sandler's films that aired between 2006 and 2010. Most are still popular, but a few received critical feedback.

An architect named Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) is given a universal remote for his TV. Come to find out, it's actually controlling his real life!

Chuck (Adam Sandler) and Larry (Kevin James) are 2 best friends. After Larry saves Chuck's life and Chuck says he owes Larry a favor, Larry asks Chuck to do the unthinkable, marry him!
