Funny at first, but turns depressing

Overall, Click is an excellent movie. Naturally, one would go to an Adam Sandler movie expecting it to be all comedic throughout. I saw this movie on a particularly hard day, where I was extremely depressed and nearing rock bottom, thinking about dying and how my life was just passing me by. At first, Click helped me to forget about these feeling and I cheered up a bit watching Adam Sandler's amusing antics and the overall lighthearted, funny feel of the movie. But as the movie progressed, and surprisingly became more serious and dramatic, I found myself trying to hold back tears, because the movie was touching on some very tough issues I was dealing with. I am not trying to give anything away about this movie but for those who have seen it, you will understand. As the end of the movie drew closer, I was in tears. Yes, I am a man, and it was very surprising to me that I was crying during any movie, let alone an Adam Sandler movie. This was all new to me, but having a good cry in the dark movie theater was something I needed, and it made me feel quite a bit better physically, despite my emotional state upon exiting the theater and for a little while afterward.
I would recommend Click to anyone. It is a very good movie, and it is so much deeper than the previews would lead you to believe. I do not, on the other hand, recommend watching this when feeling down, because it will get to you at some point.
