some days we just wish never happened, others we don't want to let go of. moments we want to cherish, moments we dread. regular daily tasks that annoy us beyond belief and then there are those times of day we can't wait to come...all of these situations describe life, at it's best, it's worse, and just at it's average. but without all of those things combined, the bad, the good, the meaningless, the fun, the dull...without all of that each of us wouldn't truly be living a worthwhile life. I mean it'd be great to think of a life filled with nothing but excitement...but what happens when you get tired of excitement? what happens then?

ironically...all of these things are touched upon in an Adam Sandler movie...and mind you the movie isn't the best, it won't win any awards...but what most critics missed when reviewing the movie is how it can make you FEEL. if I was just able to type that above paragrah based on the movie I just watched (Click)...then the movie can't be that completely horrible. and it wasn't. it just wasn't the light-hearted adventure most thought they'd see going into the film.

where 'butterfly effect' went terribly wrong, 'Click' tries to change the playing field with some humor as well as some reflection about life...and thats where each viewer will take different things away from it. where 'family man' (with nicolas cage) examines a man's life if led differently (and also in a good heart-felt way), 'Click' just shows you what can happen if you don't take control of your life, or pay attention, or if you miss things that you KNOW are important to you.

One of the most over-used movie quotes EVER but one I still shall use to end this rant on how one can think about their own life just by seeing a movie...goes like this:

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once in awhile, you can miss it".
Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
