Synopsis

In the 2006 comedy-drama film Click, directed by Frank Coraci, Adam Sandler stars as Michael Newman, an overworked architect who receives a magical universal remote control that allows him to fast forward and rewind through different parts of his life. At first, Michael uses the remote to skip through mundane tasks and challenges, but soon realizes the consequences of tampering with the natural order of things. As Michael struggles to balance his personal and professional life, the remote begins to make decisions for him, leading to unexpected and heartwarming realizations about the importance of family and seizing the present moment.
