Jess & Alex watch Click and Jess totally cries at the ending. Alex cried too, but he cries every time someone plays a song by The Cranberries. We then talk about the pressure of capitalism to "keep up with the O'Doyles", how bosses are evil all the time, and how sometimes depression feels like you are just on autopilot.
Also, yes we think this movie is better "Than a wonderful life", even though it's more firmly based on "The Magic Thread". It's also closely related to The Gizmo by Paul Jennings, the Twilight Zone episode "The Stopwatch" and R.L Stines "Click". It's fine, no they aren't rip offs.
