Profound and entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2017)

Rarely do I see a comedy which becomes better and better towards the end. Click is one of those rare movie since it puts a lot of emphasis on the moral of the story. Somewhere halfway through the movie director decided to make a cut and alongside comedy elements include existential motives and he's done that pretty well. Rarely you see a movie which combines deep questions and pure comedy because you need an inspiring and original screenplay to achieve that.
Michael Newman, a workaholic architect, gets his hands on a remote which allows him to fast forward any part of his life he wishes to. He usually puts work over family and has to make certain compromises. Now he doesn't have to hustle anymore. As the movie proceeds we start to see how badly things turn out for him. Not because of circumstances which are out of his control but because of decisions he alone and only he had made. Placing emphasis on that dimension is what makes this movie surprisingly good. That approach is surely going to make you question, at least for a moment, what are your life's priorities and how is you life going to eventually end if you keep making the same decisions.
Adam Sandler is everything you expect him to be. It's refreshing to see Kate Beckisnale playing a wife and a mother. It think she's the major reason for charm this movie has. Cristopher Walken plays Morty; I'd call him 'angel the scientist'. You can also see young Jonah Hill before he became this famous! This crew definitely managed to create charming and relaxed atmosphere.
Let me conclude: if you're only looking for a good laugh, you'll find it here. If you're looking for a motivation and a strong personal message, you'll find it here as well. Don't miss getting a good laugh and lesson at the same time!
P.S. I'd strongly recommend seeing The Family Man (2000) starring Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni if you want to see a similar movie. It's as good as it gets.
