Directed by Frank Coraci (THE WEDDING SINGER, THE WATERBOY), CLICK is about more than how much fun it would be to fast-forward through all of the boring and unpleasant parts of life. Instead, it reinforces the importance of making time for the most important things in life, with family at the top of the list. Overworked Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) just can't catch a break. His boss (David Hasselhoff) doesn't want to hear that he has family commitments, and his family is upset that he never has time for them. Michael might be doing the right thing in order to get ahead, but his wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), and children feel neglected. His breaking point: the multitude of remote controls in the house are driving him nuts, and Michael ventures out late one evening in search of a universal remote control to simplify his life. His quest leads him to the back room at Bed, Bath & Beyond and Morty (Christopher Walken), the archetypical mad scientist with wild hair, a bowtie, and zany glasses. Michael returns home armed with a top-of-the-line universal remote, but soon realises that it does more than control the household appliances...
