Wanted: Universal Remote Control

Yesterday, before meeting up with K, I decided to go to metrowalk and check out the new DVD selections..being the loser that I am, I haven't seen the movie, "Click" yet. So, I purchased one (including seasons 1 and 2 of Grey's Anatomy--thanks to Caz, she has convinced me that it's worth the watch..and since I've finished my Smallville marathon, I needed to keep myself busy during the wee hours of the morning).

There I was, in my bedroom, 12midnight (just after my CSI Supreme Sunday marathon at AXN), wondering what to do next....I almost forgot I had my new DVDs. I popped the Adam Sandler movie in my player, got myself some movie-theater-butter popcorn, made myself comfortable in my favorite corner of my room and started the movie.

Here is a snippet of what the movie is about...I got this from Yahoo! Movies...

A workaholic architect, who has been overlooking his family in favor of his career, comes across a universal remote that allows him to perform TiVo-like functions on his life, such as pausing events or fast-forwarding over them. When the remote begins creating its own memory and choosing what to fast-forward over, the man sees how much of his personal life has passed him by and realizes the importance of spending more time with his family.

I have been a fan of Adam Sandler eversince, from Happy Gilmore to The Wedding Singer to 50 First Dates...he really cracks me up with his funny antics and witty toilet humor. It was also fun watching some of the cast of his old movies portray funny parts. Of course, Rob Schneider was there in a bit role as the funny Arabian prince, Sean Astin (who was Doug, Drew Barrymore's brother in 50 First Dates) played a part too...

I cried laughing my brains out and at the same time, I cried because the movie touched my heart and made me realize how we should grasp and cherish and appreciate every experience that life has to offer. Yes, sometimes, we'd wish that we could own a universal remote control that would just fast forward all the crappy moments of our life..and sometimes we'd wish that we could just pause all the moments that we feel our happiest. But the movie just made me realize that God gave us the free will to decide on what we want to undergo in our lives. And with those choices are consequenses. All we have to do is savor each moment, whether good or bad, and hope that something will be learned through that experience.

This movie is a must see. I reccommend this to the workaholics out there, to those who are stuck with their routine, and to my friends who feel that their life is full of drama. After the movie, you will start to realize that the drama we experience, the storms that come our way--they're just preparation for something brighter...something that you'll know is worth it in the end. Be patient..we don't need to fastforward our lives because you'll never know what you're gonna miss.
