Our take on Click

Frank Coraci's 2006 blend of comedy, drama and fantasy follows Michael Newman, a married workaholic with no time for his wife and children as he chases a promotion from an ungrateful boss. A loopy sales clerk named Morty hands him a magical remote that lets him fast-forward past life's little annoyances, with results that grow steadily more absurd. The high-concept gag delivers broad laughs, but the fantasy premise turns pointedly sentimental about what a busy man risks skipping over. It suits viewers who like a mainstream comedy with a soft moral center, and anyone drawn to family-minded fables dressed up as slapstick.
