15 Most Unexpectedly Depressing Movies Of All-Time

6. Click (2006)

Oh, look: another unexpectedly depressing motion picture venture starring the legend that is Sir Adam Sandler. Click isn't bottom of the barrel bad like most of the actor's latest efforts (Pixels: you are scum), but it's also one of those "comedies" that pretends to be light-hearted and later reveals itself to be something else: something entirely sinister. The premise of Click is as follows: a neglectful man named Michael Newman inherits the ability to fast forward and rewind time using a special remote (oh, Hollywood) and begins to uses it to skip the boring or dull parts of his life. Whilst this has Groundhog Day-like potential, the movie slowly gets more and more sombre, until finally it decides to go full-on depressing: Michael skips ahead so far that he becomes an old man, and dies. He dies. Unfortunately, Click loses its nerve and opts for the "it's all a dream!" cop-out ending. But that doesn't redeem the sad melancholy of what came before it. Seriously, what the hell?
