Storyline The architect Michael Newman has a typical middle-class family with his lovely and gorgeous wife Donna and their son Ben and daughter Samantha, and a constant visit of his parents. However, Michael is workaholic and under stress, trying to satisfy his boss with overwork and get a partnership in his company, giving priority to his work and neglecting the family issues. When the tired Michael goes to a department store to buy an universal remote control, he rests on a bed and he meets the weird salesman Morty that offers him a remote control capable of controlling his own universe. Michael uses too much and loses the control of the device, having his own life controlled by the remote control. Then Michael sees the worthwhile parts of his personal life he missed while working, and in the end of his life he lately concludes that the family comes first.

User Review
Surprisingly good
Rating: 10/10
I walked into the movie theater expecting to see Adam Sandler make a
complete buffoon of himself. However, when I came out I was impressed.
There was a depth to this movie I did not see coming, and it took me
completely off guard. "Click" proved to be a powerful, emotional, and
humorous piece of work. There was a certain philosophical message in
this movie, in which I think, we all take for granted. Adam Sandler did
a great job in playing a work-aholic. It is always great to see
Christopher Walkin in any movie, and in "Click" he played the eccentric
scientist who provides Adam Sandler with his life controlling remote.I
Recommend this to anyone looking for a quality film with a good laugh.
Definitely a 10/10 in my book.
