Tonight I went to see the movie 'Click' starring Adam Sandler. My exposure to Adam Sandler has typically been in movies like 'The Wedding Singer', 'Happy Gilmore' and the like. As a result I was not what you would call an Adam Sadler fan. I went into the movie braced for Adam Sandler being the same character he always seems to play, which in my mind is 'Adam Sandler'. Boy was I wrong. 'Click' is actually a really lovely movie. The premise being, the lead character (Sandler) the workaholic, becomes frustrated with trying to prioritize his family life with that of his bosses work expectations.
The solution is a 'universal' remote, which Sandler quickly discovers, can 'control' his universe.
The ability to 'fast' forward through fights with his wife, and boring family dinners, quickly escalates into jumping ahead a whole year to see his vision of 'making partner' at his firm become a reality.
What Sandler soon realizes is that his new found gadget has a price. One that sees him missing his children growing up, his marriage falling apart, and ultimately the loss of all that he holds dear.
I was not expecting to need Kleenex, but suffice it so say that a whole box could have been used by the movies end.
If you have a chance, try and catch this little gem, you won't be disappointed. It may even put some things into perspective for you!
