Adam Sandler plays a normal guy with a family, but he gets too annoyed with all the problems he has at work, with kids and with the collection of remotes that turn on everything around the house. After he snaps he drives to bed, bath and beyond to buy a universal remote. In the store he is so tired he collapses on a bed- looks up and sees a door saying 'beyond' on it. After he goes through he finds a worker called Morty who gives him a universal remote. Adam Sandler returns home and to his surprise the remote can change everything! He can mute sounds, pause his life, have a commentary on his life and loads more. He soon uses the remote to get the love of his family but lots of things start to go wrong...
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Although technically this is true, ironically there WERE two pilots for Three's Company filmed in 1976 with some similar and some different cast members, which may or may not of actually aired at the time after being filmed. The 3rd and final pilot with the familiar cast got the show finally rolling in 1977. So the mistake stands, but it could be a bit iffy based on this info.
This mistake does not need correction. This is just trivia that does not impact the mistake. Both pilots were unaired, so they couldn't have watched it on TV. Additionally, this was his summer vacation and the first pilot was taped in May and the second one was taped in November.
News Reader in 2017: Michael Jackson, the first man to clone himself is now suing himself for molesting himself.
Trivia: In the first scene of the 2023 timeline, the TV has the news on, and behind Michael is the "Freedom Tower" in the background. It's also seen at wedding scene in 2030, although there are now two towers instead of one very large tower, which is the way the "real" Freedom Tower is supposed to be built. In the same shot, a 147-year-old Brooklyn Bridge is seen in the background as well.
Question: I'm confused about the return of the purse and kids' bicycles. Michael says he spent money that he doesn't have and might have to return the kids' bikes. Architects make a substantial amount of income. So why would he need to return the kiddie bikes?
Answer: The median salary in the United States for architects is currently around $80K per year. It was a few thousand dollars less in 2006 when the film was made. That's not what most would call a "substantial" income, especially considering that is the median. Michael could make significantly less than that. There are thousands of people in the United States making more than $80K a year living paycheck-to-paycheck, based on their individual circumstances.
