Good Sandler Film, and Refreshing SPOILERS

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2006)

SPOILERS
Most of Adam Sandler's films are goofy with no emotional content. Click changes that. Click may seem like a goofy comedy at the beginning, but the last half hour is really sad for an Adam Sandler film. The last half hour is even really sadder than most newer movies. There are two huge sad scenes in this film. Adam Sandler's character Michael Newman saying goodbye to his dad in the future, and Michael dying in the future.
A man named Michael Newman has a lot of work at work to do. He has a really busy work schedule. He can't spend enough time with his family. One day he goes to Bed, Bath, and Beyond. He goes into the Beyond section. In the Beyond section he meets a man named Morty. Morty gives him a remote that can rewind, fast-forward, pause, and even has a main menu. He has fun with it. Then he fast-forwards until he gets his promotion at work. One year later he gets it. Then it fast-forwards again until his next promotion. The remote is one memory, so it fast-forwards everything that he fast-forwarded through before.
Ten years go by. He is a gigantic fat guy, his son is fat, his daughter is wears small outfits, his wife divorced him, and she has a new man. Michael is knocked unconscious and the remote fast-forwards again. He is in a hospital and cancer was removed from him. He also had liposuction. Then the remote fast-forwards again. In the future, his father had died. He rewinds to the last time he saw him. His son is now skinny and Michael was mean to his father. Michael then finds out that Morty is the Angel of Death. Michael asks to be taken to a happy place.
That happy place is his son's wedding. Then Michael has a heart attack after his daughter calls her new father dad. He wakes up in a hospital. His son cancelled his honeymoon. His son and daughter are next to him. Then Michael realizes that his son is becoming obsessed with work like him. Michael rips off his oxygen tube and goes out in the rain to see his son. Michael dies in the street.
Then Michael wakes up in a bed in Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It was all a dream. He life is normal again. He goes to his house and finds the remote. He throws it away. Was it a dream, or did Morty give him a second chance?
Overall, I was amazed how sad this was. My only problem. It was way too like a Christmas Carol. It is also a bit like Back to the Future, but not that much.
7/10
