A pleasantly surprising movie

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2014)

First off, I know I'm very late in watching this movie, being 2014 and all, but I finally decided to give Click a chance, and I'm glad I did.
Now, it wasn't the most perfect movie of all, not by a long shot, but being perfect isn't the reason I'd given this movie 9 stars. The comedy of this movie is lacking, and in all honesty I barely let out a chuckle. The originality of the movie wasn't as obvious as it could have been. After reading a lot of other reviews, I found that people didn't enjoy the movie so much due to it being a repeat of a number of movies from past years, but that's the day and age we live in. Original ideas are difficult to come by. Every can be compared to other movies. It's how the stories are portrayed, and that's where this movie shines for me.
So this story is the stereotypical workaholic neglects his family and bad things happen because of it. He addition of a remote control that affects his entire universe isn't the best of ideas, but worked with the whole idea of realising the error of his ways and his redemption afterward. The scenes in the move that demanded emotion from the actors really worked well, except for Katie Cassidy, she was far too cold for my liking. The scene in which he rewinds time to see the last time he interacted with his father turned me into an emotional wreck, as well as the scene when he's dying outside of the hospital.
This movie will not be for everyone, and most will probably feel let down. But if you can accept the crappy jokes and the "rip off" story lines, then you will find that this movie is full of emotional, heart breaking moments that most people will over look. Give this movie a chance, it could change how you see the people in your life.
