Now right off the bat I must admit that the first time I saw this movie I cried like a baby. After I put the DVD back into the case I said to myself "That movie was so depressing". I decided that I didn't like that movie because it made me feel so bad.

A couple weeks later, I spiraled into a depression for 3 months that was the worst period in my life. All I thought about was death and what would happen if I got sick. I eventually went to the doctor and got on an anti-depressant. 5 months later I can sit and and say that my life is great. Anyways, tonight my brother came over with his wife and my brother asked me if I had any good 'funny' movies. He said it more jokingly than anything because he knows my collection is predominatley horror. So my other brother suggests we watch "Click".

Now, I was very fearful that I was gonna see this film and be thrown into the same rut I had been in months prior, but I agreed. After watching it a second time I can say this is one of my favorite films. I love Sandler movies and this is no exception, but it is soooo much different than his others. Yes, I cried again. Yes, I got depressed again...but then I snapped out of it. You see , the first time I watched this film I missed the whole 'message' behind it. This time I had the same epiphany that Michael Newman had. I realized that everyday is precious, and only as important as you make it.

"Never rush life and you will never fear death".

Pete, what you wrote is really nice. All of it.

I liked the movie too. I cried, and I got the message behind it. If you "skip" boring or tiring parts of your life, you'll only be letting go of living some of the most precious moments. Of course there are times when we all could use a remote like that....but then we would be missing too....a lot.

I agree with you, everyday is as important as you make it.

this is my second favourite Sandler film, it was the best acting job he's ever done, because it was a serious like movie, in a Sandler movie way, which I found to be very interesting and full of tallent

it was so much different than Sandlers other stuff, he wasn't some guy trying to get the girl like in practically ALL of his other movies
