    I didn’t really want to go as I wanted to spend time with my friends. But when I actually went to see the movie, it had a beautiful message. The story of click taught me how spending time with the family is a very important thing. Being an Adam Sandler film I went into the review expecting the same Adam Sander film which I do appreciate a considerable amount, in some cases it's incredible to escape and not get excessively basic about the film you are surveying. I ran in with this attitude to Click and I was astounded with how great this film truly is.…

    I personally enjoyed the film, although they suggested the events that were to occur later, I kept watching with enthusiasm because I wanted to see how they would play out. The diction that the brothers used throughout the film created a negative attitude towards them, although Winthorpe and Billy Ray were the ones to be involved in a legal mess, other characters gained sympathy. Ophelia and Coleman were the ones I was rooting for, they had a job of taking care of others needs from the beginning of the film, and were taken advantage of without receiving appreciation. The wealthy characters such as Penelope and her friends, through the diction and the events were not very liked. The story plaid on a serious issue, which was people’s overwhelming need to consume no matter who or how many people they took advantage of.…
