Click..

A “Click” in this world does everything for a person. Lot of times I too have wished after a heavy meal… how nice it will be if my hand just goes by itself washes and comes back and attaches back to my body…. if my plate gets cleaned by itself… if i can have my bath when am sleeping…if I reach office without any traffic jams… yeah yeah the answer for every thing comes here in the form of “UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL”.

Its all about a person who has a busy work life striving to “impress” his boss and get a promotion and has a wife and two kids. He is trying to manage his life between work and family as all the people of this generation do. He finds it difficult to chose the correct remote to operate the TV and the fan and gets irritated that the remote he choses activates a toy aeroplane that hits him and the other one opens the garage. So finally he goes out fustrated to get relaxed. At this point, he finds a Person who gives him a universal remote.

There is a option to mute in that. If he does that, he can avoid hearing the argument of his wife, boss and anything he doesn’t like to hear without the second person realising this. Also, he can switch channels in which he can watch a baseball match when his wife is shouting at him. The other option is “Pause”. He can pause the other person for a sometime… hithim how muchever he wants and then click play. The other person is not aware of this but still he feels the pain. “Mission accomplished” with this 🙂 There is also an option to Fast Forward. By this, he can avoid wasting time in all the chores he doesn’t want to.

Despite its one-joke premise and rehash of the basics from every other SCROOGE/IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE-type flick (my recent favorite being Brett Ratner’s underrated THE FAMILY MAN), CLICK ultimately came through for me, but on the dramatic side more than the comedic, as the film turns into an emotional piece during its final half-hour. That’s not to say that this is an all-out drama, since it is after all, an “Adam Sandler movie”, so expect the fart, shit and sex jokes, but this time around, many of them just made me smile a little, but not much else, that is until the film got serious near the end.

The point of this movie was simple: Take for granted the things in your life worth living, and you will be tossed to the curb. I mean he has a smoking hot wife in Kate Beckinsale and yet he neglects her!! “Click” reminds everyone that whether tough or easy, life can never be coasted through. You have to earn every moment yourself.
