These have same “what if”/ alternate reality scenarios that get you thinking.Ĭlick is about a man (Adam Sandler) who receives a magical remote controller that allows him to rewind, stop, and fast forward through time. Similar movies worth checking: It’s a Wonderful Life (1946 film) and A Christmas Carol. If you continue what you’re doing today, where is it going to lead you? Would you have a lifetime of achievements and wealth, but no real friends or loved ones to speak of? Would you have lived a life conforming to norms while never taking action on your goals?

If not, what are you going to do to change this outcome? What I do like is the film gets you thinking about what you’re currently doing in life. Both are achievable - it’s a matter of expanding our capacity, prioritizing, and planning. It encourages people to justify not pursuing career/wealth goals because they have a family, or that they shouldn’t pursue love/ have a family because they’re busy with work. ![]() ![]() It’s a great movie that gets you thinking about life, though I’m not in exact agreement with the implicit message that life has to be either/or - in this case, either wealth or family, not both. I think a large part is because I already came to these conclusions myself before, so I’m just not the right target audience for the movie. When I was watching, there were many times when “Socrates” (the guide) said something or revealed a lesson I already knew and already guessed he was going to say (in the same exact words too). While I agree with the overall message of the movie and I feel that there were some great moments (like the rooftop scene), I found the movie quite slow paced and predictable.
