What if you had the power to stop time?
Until now, Zak Gibbs' greatest challenge has been to find a way to buy a car. But when he discovers an odd wristwatch amidst his father's various inventions and slips it on -- something very strange happens. The world around him seems to come to a stop, everything and everybody frozen in time. Zak quickly learns how to manipulate the device and he and his quick-witted and beautiful new friend, Francesca, start to have some real fun.

Decent watch, could watch again, and can recommend, probably more for a younger audience.

Typical early 2000’s movie. BUT they don't make them like this anymore. I remember watching this and *wishing* I could have a watch like that hahah.
