An Ultimate Remote To Own

What if you could change you whole life with a hit of a button what part of your life would you change? For me I would go back and me and my exwife would never split. Also did I mention you could also put the TV on and change the channels. This is the premise behind the new film called Click.

One thing that drive me nuts and it the new thing in movie theater chains is, have a 20 min preshow which shows movie trailers, commercials and behind the scene of upcoming films. So if you are a critic like me or a movie buff you go to the theater a lot of times a month so you see a lot of preshow's. Last week it was The Fast and the Furious 3 which I could not stand watching the preshow anymore this week in Click, the behind the screens preshow shows a lot of the gags of the film and take the experience of watching a new film without knowing anything about the film.

A workaholic architect, who has been overlooking his family in favor of his career, comes across an universal remote that allows him to perform TiVo-like functions on his life, such as pausing events or fast-forwarding over them.

Adam Sandler is the type of actor you either like him or hate him, so of his film are stupid but laugh out loud funny. Some of his best work is Waterboy, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer and many others. Of course like any actor he has some bad ones as well like Punch Drunk Love, Little Nicky. And couple of others as well.

His next one to bat Click and the same man directed it who also did Wedding Singer and Waterboy so knowing this walking into Click I had high hopes for the film. Now after watching this two hour movie I can say I was not disappointed. It was very funny but not like Adam other comedy this is a more dryer comedy that the slapstick he is, know for doing.

The story was good I like the idea of the film granted this is not an original type of film it does take from some classic film like stooge, and one my all time favorite It's a Wonderful Life. Don't let that scary you this is a good film and I like the idea of a remote that controls your life I wish I had one of those I could do so much with it. I like the acting in the film by the two main stars, the only thing that I can say bad is I wish they gave more time to Kate Beckinsale who look beautiful as she usually does in all her film.
