Michael Newman's (Adam Sandler) home (when he seems himself in the future) is the same building used as Mel's (Jon Lovitz) home in The Benchwarmers (2006).
In the lake scene, Adam Sandler's character reminisces his childhood at Lake Winnipesaukee. Winnipesaukee is approximately 50 miles north of Manchester, New Hampshire; where Sandler grew up.
Several future world events are mentioned by radio in the film as Michael fast-forwards through his life. Two of these include Michael Jackson becoming the first human to clone himself and Britney Spears having her 23rd baby. The dates the film is set in the future span from 2017 to 2030.
When Michael flashes back to the time he and his wife first kissed, Michael and everyone else seem to be wearing 80's attire. When Michael and Donna kiss the song "Linger" comes on, but that song didn't come out until 1993.
Why wouldn't Michael hit pause in order to do his work instead of just fast forwarding?
A
As Morty says "You were fast-forwarding through your life long before you met me." It is Michael's nature that he would rather skip over everything entirely instead of doing the work. Also, there wouldn't be much of a movie if he did everything the smart way.
Q
Why didn't Michael just rewind to get his old life back?
A
Pressing rewind only replays time, he cannot change the past.
Q
What does Michael's boss say when he changes the remote's language to Spanish?
A
Full Spanish Dialog- Ammer: In your own bedrooms or a public bathroom, I don't care. Michael: Hahaha, hear this! Ammer: Problem, Michael? Michael: No, proceed, you really are the fabulous professor! Gasp! What am I doing now? Ammer: Well, what? Michael: Well, nothing. I .. Proceed.
