Click!
I've been waiting for Click! to open in the cinemas...
It's not a blockbuster movie, but as with all Adam Sandler movies, it has a feel good factor, and definitely some form of moral behind it.
Adam Sandler's an architect who has problems working out his priorities... career and family. Now surely many of us can identify with that. David Hasselhoff is Adam Sandler's boss who drives him nuts with ridiculous deadlines, while he wanders off with his latest muse.
He also has a really annoying neighbour who is sort of competing with him on who has the latest techy stuff. And of course, one daily factor that irritated him was the fact that he could never figure out which remote is for which equipment/appliance.
It is during one of his frustrating attempts to find the right remote control that he decides to get a universal remote control.
And that's when the story starts...
While searching from the remote control department, Adam comes across a Beyond section, and finds Christopher Walken working inside. Assuming that Christopher Walken was a staff there, Adam makes his query, and is introduced to the film villain, the Remote Control. Chris insists that Adam takes the product, which is not available in the market, and that's when the chaos begins.
This Universal Remote Control (URC) allows Adam Sandler to control his life like he would a TV. Click fast forward, and his life moves ahead. Rewind, and he gets to repeat the moment. Basically, he can do anything he wants to. And while he fast forwards his life, his body will go into auto pilot during that period he'd like to skip. The URC has a special function, and that is to detect the owner's favourite settings.
So, all this while when Adam decides to fast forward at the mention of a next promotion, falls ill, etc, the URC picks it up, and auto programs his life. As a result, he speeds through life, misses his children growing up, loses his wife to a swim coach, and didn't even get to see his father before he died.
The movie takes you on an emotional dive, and just when you think the movie ends there with his death scene, Adam wakes up at the store where he bought the remote control, and you realise that it was all just a dream.
Problem I had with the movie was that it had take me so low emotionally, that even when I realised it was a dream, I still felt a little upset.
But, thank goodness, all Happy Madison productions end happy. Thankfully.
Here's a clip of the trailer:
Ciao.
