CLICK ... a universal remote control


A film that cast by Adam Sandler, Christopher Walken, Kate Beckinsale, David Hasselhoff, and Sean Astin.

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. Finally, he understands that family should come first than others thing. It is a meaningful film that touch everyone heart.

Every moment that we share with family’s members is precious. No matter how rich of you, happiness come from family can’t use money to exchange or purchase. If you think that the duty as a son or daughter is to give money to parents without showing care to them or as parents just need to give money for children to enjoy all the material, then you are totally wrong. This film reflects out what happened around us everyday. Busy already become an excuse for many people to neglect their parents, wives or children. Often, a simple call for parents will made them happy whole day long. A simple meal with family is thousand better than money. A simple sentence for praising children of their small achievement is better than toys.

In reality, how many people will put their family in first place? Most people think that success in work is the most important one. People keen to have fame, money, status and authority in their life time. They spend all their time in chasing all of this. Putting family aside, some even no idea of the age for their children, no idea of how old their parents are. Due to the lack of time, some will hire maids to take care of children and some send their parents to the homes for elderly. Shall I say that it is too pity for people spend their life like this? Don’t know to thanksgiving of the hardship of parents to bring them up. Don’t know to appreciate what they already have. Some people feel regret at the time that they lost the chances to showing love to parents or family. Sometimes it will be too late already. Something is impossible to get back when you lost it. Unlike in movie, real life dun have second chances. The instant you lost it mean you lost it forever.

Nevertheless, cannot be say that all people are of this type of personality. There are exceptional also. There are people who very love and care for their families also. Cheer for them.
