I don't usually recommend a lot of movies, but if you have a few hours where you've got nothing to do, watch the movie Click. I know I write sarcastically a lot but this time I'm dead serious. But you have to watch this movie my way. Here's how.
The first step is not to read any material about it. Don't read any reviews or any blogs that discuss the movie.
The most important thing that you must do is to watch the movie by yourself. I know it's a comedy, but don't bring any friends, siblings, parents, kids, or even your significant other. If you can, find a seat that's isolated from the other viewers. And don't bring in any food into the theater. No popcorn, no hotdogs, no soda. Turn off your celfone and don't let yourself get distracted. Just sit down, watch the movie from start to finish, giggle by yourself a lot, but you have to immerse yourself in what you're watching and remember everything you watched.
After the movie, relax in your seat for a minute or two while the credits roll by. This next instruction is as important as the previous ones: don't discuss the movie with anyone. You can say you've watched it, but don't give hints about the plot, don't write any reviews, don't blog about the story. In fact, don't even comment on this entry to tell me how much you loved or hated the movie. But you have to encourage everyone you know to watch it the way you just did (if you followed my instructions).
Oh, and if you followed my instructions and you didn't experience the Click effect, I'm truly sorry. If you feel like I've convinced you to waste your time, let me know and I'll try and find a way to make it up to you.
