Just finished watching a movie "Click". It's a very nice show as what my friends and some website stated.

It talks about 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.

It is a very funny and touching story especially the part when his life passes by so quickly that he missed the growing of his children. He dislike his parents coming to his house for dinner and chooses to fast forward the part. And when he fast forward too much to 16 years later, many things happened like:
1. his father died naturally
2. his wife remarried to another guy
3. his son and daughter grew up
4. his son got married
5. his dog died but got another small dog which he does not like

and the worst part is, he cannot get rid of the remote as he wish. Near to the end, he died of heart attack but before he died, he wanted to tell his son that, nothing is more important than family.

Luckily, that was not the end. Eventually he went back to the past and he could start all over again. This changed his life and attitude. He cherished his family more than ever. Great show! Must buy and must watch.
