Adam Sandler's most emotional movie

Rating: 7/10 (13 December 2019)

I'll always remember this movie. This was a real shock to my senses when I saw Click for the first time. What i thought was just another Adam Sandler comedy film, I realised that this film wasn't going to be like his previous films, with that classic comedy that Adam Sandler fans love, this movie starts like most Sandler films start. Michael is a family man who feels like he's never there for them, he is a workaholic who becomes to caught up his job to realise that his family needs his support when it's needed most, he can't work the technology in his house, he hates his mother in law with a passion, and worst of all his kids think he's a bit of a pushover.
Things change when he meets a mysterious man played by Christopher Walken who gives Michael a universal remote which should be able to solve all his problems in his life. Things start out funny at first with gag after gag showing his folly as he is given control over the things that bother him the most. The film is very inventive with how the comedy is played in every situation where Michael's desicions become worse and worse. The comedy begins to die down however halfway through the movie when he realises his choices with the remote has caused his life to become so bad that the film now becomes a tragedy. His life now becomes a sad tale of regret, failing health and his life falling apart around him as he desperatley tries to undo all the mistakes he has made.
It becomes so sad at the end of the movie where Michael is lying in a hospital bed with music and cinematography choices and music so depressing that it makes you wish that you will never become like this character. I always cry at the end of this movie of just how much of a tragedy it really is about Michael's horrible life choices. But of course he is given a second chance in the end to live his life the way he wanted.
It really is a great acting acheivement for Adam Sandler and all the actors involved who put on good performances, the kids did a great job too. It was refreshing to see Adam Sandler put on a very different performance in this blend of comedy and tragedy and is always entertaining to watch. I highly reccomend it
