INTRODUCTION
The architect Michael Newman (Adam-Sandler) has a typical middle-class family with his lovely and gorgeous wife Donna(Kate -Bekinsale) and their son Ben and daughter Samantha.

into the company of eccentric employee and talented inventor Morty

will not only allow Michael complete control over his television and stereo, but his entire life as well.
& So (Finally) He Got The Power In His Hand
• A remote control so significant that it allows Michael to be able to fast forward, rewind, pause and practically control all the events in his life

I HOPE “NOT”
What Critics Have To Say :• Click manages to sneak some surprisingly moving moments
in between the gross-out gags and the schmaltzy resolutions.
• A fantasy comedy in the tradition of Back to the Future or Groundhog Day... Click delivers profoundly emotional family moments amidst the hysterically clever fantasy gags.
• Not everything jells, but Click is funnier and more elaborately clever than anything Sandler's done in years.
• "Rarely have I wanted to fast-forward through a movie as much as Click, a treacly and not-funny-enough Adam Sandler comedy about a man who uses a magical remote control to fast-forward through life.“
Learning from the movie
• Life is a combo of both happy as well as sad moments.
• Essence of life is to live it in its entirety.• All moments in life are important . So live life
the way god has gifted it to us , live every moment.
THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE
