Summary
I enjoyed the premise for this movie more than the movie itself. It's supposed to be a comedy, but the entire second half of the movie played out more like a drama. But the premise of the movie - a guy is able to control his life through a remote control - is pretty clever if you ask me. He's able to fast forward, mute,

pause, and even get a running commentary any part of his life.

We're basically presented how Adam Sandler's life is hectic as hell and he uses the remote to handle work, family, and to torture the neighbor's snotty kid. He breezes through the hard parts: fights, working from home, and even family moments at the table. We soon learn that the remote is like TiVo and learns the stuff he's done and it basically starts fast-forwarding, i.e. missing, practically his entire life.

The remote having "learned" from Michael having skipped his cold, it transports him six years into the future, as he had not been healthy a single day over those six years: Donna recounts how a precautionary MRI scan after the fall revealed cancer, and how Michael ate so prolifically during chemotherapy as to subsequently suffer from a heart attack. In those six years, Michael is no longer obese thanks to liposuction, Donna has re-married Ben's old swim coach, Bill, and Ben has gone into his father's line of work. Ben tells Michael his father Ted died, and Michael uses the remote to view the last time they spoke. While on auto-pilot, Michael angrily rejected Ted's offer for a night out with him and Ben. During Michael's grief, Morty reveals he is in fact the Angel of Death. Fearing him, Michael begs to go to a "happy time", and fast forwards several years to Ben's wedding in 2021. There, he witnesses Samantha call Bill "Dad", and the shock triggers a second heart attack. When Michael awakens, Morty appears to tell him that he chose his path and there is nothing he can do about it. Michael's family arrives and Ben reveals that he has cancelled his honeymoon in order to work on an important deal that will keep his business going. Shocked and not wanting Ben to make the same mistakes he did, Michael rushes after him. A nurse attempts to stop him but Michael manages to jab the man with a sedative. He ignores Morty's repeated warnings that the machines

are all that are keeping him alive. Michael reaches his family and collapses, but manages to convince Ben that family comes first; he reassures the rest that he still loves them, and then Morty comes up to take him.

Critical response
Click received poor reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 32% based on 164 reviews, giving the film a "Rotten" rating. The average score is a 4.8 out of 10, with the overall consensus being "This latest Adam Sandler vehicle borrows shamelessly from It's a Wonderful Life and Back to the Future, and fails to produce the necessary laughs that would forgive such imitation." Metacritic gave it a score of 45 out of 100 which indicates "mixed or average reviews"

Recommendation
This is a good movie for all ages because they will relate to the story because the story is all about life of being workaholic.
