I thought of that, too, but I don't think Click had the spouse losing her free will. Didn't they separate in that movie?
Did he control other people somehow in Click? Maybe OP is mixing up the wife with someone else.
I don't think so. Iirc he just goes on autopilot when he activates the remote.
I think so.
Thank you for trying but Adam Sandler as an A-/B+ actor?
Sandler was definitely B list at the height of his career
I asked Chatgpt and it offered "Ruby Sparks" as a solution. The cast includes Antonio Banderas and Annette Benin.
Not to be confused with Annette Benign, her troublesome but ultimately harmless sister.
Ruby Sparks sounds plausible. She was a character in a book he was writing that came to life though.. They weren't arguing. Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan are great though. Dano might be considered B+/A- popular..
I also asked chatgpt and got The Adjustment Bureau but I'm thinking Matt Damon was more than a B+ actor at the time.
It also suggest The One I Love. Never heard of it before
Definitely not Adjustment Bureau. That's a PKD book turned into a "thriller".
OPs movie sounds like something Adam Sandler would do.
OP's fever dream definitely gives Adam Sandler vibes.
My theory is that you fell asleep on the plane and dreamt this whole story. You should write up the screenplay and get that movie made. Better yet, make it a movie within a movie, about someone haunted by a movie they vaguely remember having seen on a plane, but it turns out it was all a dream. So they write up the screenplay and get the movie made...
I saw Inception and Despicable Me back to back on a long haul flight overnight while I was super sleepy but couldn't sleep, and my recollection of either of them was a complete mess. I'm not sure but "Leo reluctantly looking after little cartoon girls while battling some yellow gremlins as the city was folding over them" is probably not a precise enough description of the plot.
Have it shot like Adaptation
I remember liking Adaptation, but I can't recall a single other thing about it. Was there a houseplant on the poster maybe?
Adaptation is nominally the film adaptation of the book The Orchid Thief. As such, there is an orchid on the poster.
It fits with "Ruby Sparks" wich is also the name of the female lead. Main character, Paul Dano, is a writer I believe and through writing he can change his girlfriend.
Is it the invention of lying?
That was my take with Ricky Gervais.
Think there were some other movies around that era two with similar plot lines
This sounds like basically the plot of Jessica Jones from Killgrave's perspective. I think Rick and Morty may have done a similar bit, but I can't think of any movies in that space
"Absolutely anything" staring Simon Pegg?
It's not his wife in that though it's his next door neighbour or something.
"What women really want"?
Doesn't quite fit your description but close as I can imagine.
Bing thinks it's 'The Invention of Lying' (2009).
