"Click," rated PG-13, stars Adam Sandler as Michael Newman. Michael is an overwhelmed, overworked, emotionally exhausted architect. The demands of his wife Donna, played by Kate Beckinsale, and his two children seem to be more than he can meet.
Looking forward to an evening of relaxing television watching after a hard day of work, he grumpily decides he needs a new universal remote for his television and entertainment devices.
An overly tired, and very cranky, Michael tries to make a quick run to "Bed, Bath and Beyond" to get his universal remote. He feels the remote would make his life simpler. When he purchases a universal remote from the "beyond" section of the store from an eccentric employee, Morty, (played by quirky Christopher Walken) he gets a bit more than he bargained for.
After accidentally discovering the powers of his new magical remote control, he thinks he has found the solution to all his problems. He learns he can skip over, pause or fast forward the unpleasant or mundane parts of life.
Michael is faced with a pressing work deadline on an architectural project that could make or break his career. The stresses of his home life collide with his job stress to overwhelm him and cause him to decide to start fast forwarding through what he feels are the unimportant parts of his life.
The problem is that the remote control has an intelligent, adaptable feature that causes it to automatically start skipping over everything he has deemed unimportant in the past. He starts to loose not just hours, but then days, weeks and then years. Time goes by without him, he is literally sleepwalking through his life.
Using the remote, he achieves success in his work but at the expense of his family and marriage. Donna divorces him and remarries taking the children with her. Michael wakes up old and alone, realizing he has lost track of more than just time-he's lost everything truly important to him while he was chasing his dreams of financial success.
