Misty Eyez Drag Queen Movie Reviews  
Misty Eyez
Go see this Movie ****(Four Stars)

Judging from the trailer it really appeared that this Adam Sandler was going to be just like his last movie and the movie before that, a fun ride yet very repetitive.  However I must tell you this movie is surprisingly really very good.  I went into this film expecting the silly somewhat retarded humor that he tends to portray, and yet I got a phenomenal movie with an incredible message.  Adam Sandler has most defiantly shown that he is capable of playing a serious character in contrast to his usually obscene characters, and this movie was probably his best role yet, he was brilliant.  Yes he was still funny in this film but in a much more of a refined, toned down and intelligent way of being funny.   Adam Sandler played Michael Newman an everyday regular father of two and loving husband of the stunningly beautiful Donna (Kate Beckinsale) and just like married people they have frustrations while raising a family, especially while trying to balance a stressful career. 

One of those frustrations is the fact that they have too many remotes, one for the toy car, the toy plane, the garage, the ceiling fan, the TV, the VCR etc etc... and when he cannot turn on his own television and instead turns on toy helicopter that hits him in the head he is determined to get a remote for everything.  Much to his surprise the eerie Morty (Christopher Walken) was there to give him the remote that controlled just that everything, his dog his wife and once he realized he could fast forward fights, and arguments and traffic he started to do so on a regular basis and then with the intelligence of the remote it would remember what he liked to fast forward and do so automatically. 
Surprise Ladies and Gentlemen life happens when you are stuck in traffic or when you have to take a shower and to skip that was to skip major important parts of his life, and only did he realize that once it was too late.
You will definitely laugh, but I will warn you if you tend to get a bit Misty Eyed in a movie bring a tissue there is a few tear jerking scenes, for this is more than your typical comedy its a life journey and  I left the Theatre reflecting on the important things and people in my life, re evaluating the relationships that I deem important.  Then you are stuck in the situation that everything that you have dreamt of or hoped for has happened career wise but much to the sacrifice of your own personal happiness or that happiness of your family.
I definitely think that you should go see this movie for its simply brilliant, and surprisingly touching.  In fact it shocked me at how much I really enjoyed this film, I wont tell you how it ends but I will say that you leave the theatre felling fulfilled and justified for the movie did its job it took you on a thrilling journey and then brought you right back home to drop you off.
