Plot: Michael Newman (Sandler) doesn’t have enough time to balance his job and his family. Looking for a little something to make his life easier, he takes a late-night trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond, where he meets the strange Morty (Walken). Morty presents him with what he wants - a remote control to control his universe. Little does he suspect, that’s quite literal, as he finds he can rewind and fast-forward his life. But, when the remote gets out of hand, will he miss out on what really matters in life?

Plot: Stanley Yelnats IV (LaBeouf) is unlucky. It’s not his fault, though - it’s his great great grandfather, Stanley Yelnats I, who got the family cursed. Because of this curse, he’s wrongfully accused of stealing shoes from a charity auction and sentenced to six months at a camp in the desert. There, he is put in D-Tent, and made to dig holes in the desert all day. But, maybe his luck is starting to turn around, because the camp may be just what he needs to cure his cursed family. Based on the novel by Louis Sachar.
