Adam Sandler gets a lot of (deserved) flack for basically being the same character in every movie that he produces. Before you become too much a judgy-pants you should realize that his movies, even the ones that the critics absolutely hate, normally make tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars. If you were in that situation I think that you wouldn't have a problem of wiping your bad-critical-response tears away with 100 dollar bills either.

That being said: Click is actually a bit different and I think nicely done

Adam Sandler play the role of Mark Newman, a busy architecht whose work-life is his primary focus in life. He continually lets his family down and has to disappoint those around him because his career is apparently the most important thing to him.

One day he runs into Morty (played by Christopher Walken) in the "beyond" section of Bed Bath and Beyond who gives him a remote control that Sandler comes to discover can actually control the world around him.

He can pause time, fast forward and even change the languages of the things going on around him in life. At first everything is wonderful and well, who wouldn't want to have something like this in their lives. it wouldn't be much of a story if everything always went perfectly and eventually Mark starts to realize the remote is causing more problems in his life than it is solving, only to discover he can't throw it out or return it. It is a part of his life whether he wants it or not.

I'm a bit surprised that they didn't get in trouble for putting Rob Scheider in blackface and having him play the role of Prince Habeeboo- maybe because everyone wasn't such a SJW pu**y back then. For one reason or another Sandler has to put Schneider in all of his films otherwise Rob wouldn't have any work. It was also great to see The Hoff in this movie.

Believe it or not this movie was actually nominated for an Oscar, which is something I didn't know until about 10 minutes ago. It didn't win but it is the only time a movie associated with Sandler has ever been nominated for these prestigious awards.

This is worth seeing for sure and is one of the few Sandler movies that I think have rewatch value. It has emotional scenes as well that are actually very well done and at least briefly, shows that Sandler actually is a tremendous actor, he just doesn't need to give us that very often when what he is doing by being silly, is what makes everyone go to the theaters.

Funny movie with a beautiful message but I will be honest and say that when I read the title the first thing I could think about this movie was this:

I read your plot till when sadler got that remote control of gis life, from that on it is gonna be very amazing so i dont wanna spoil it by reading whole of it. Sandler really has a good role, who focuses all on his career and meanwhile neglects his family and friends who are very disappointed by him. The remote control he git is gonna change all for better. Thanks for sharing @gooddream.

Yes, there are some good movies in his resume and this is one of them, specially because it has a message. I think Spanglish is one of his films that does not look like an adam sandler movie because is not centered around him. Las week I watched Blended, with drew barrymore and I liked it a lot.

Being an Adam Sandler film I went into the preview expecting the same Adam Sander film which I do enjoy quite a lot, sometimes it's great to escape and not get too critical about the film you are viewing. I went in with this mentality to Click and I was surprised with how good this film really is. A lot of the time people that write comments will judge a film without seeing it and it gives the film a bad name. Ignore what you hear about this film and take a look, I'm sure you will be surprised with it also. Adam Sandler has shown that he is capable of playing a serious character in contrast o the aggressive and funny character he normally plays in his film, Click is no different, Sandler is both funny and serious at the right moments, Kate Bekinsale is great as Donna his wife, and Christopher Walken is excellent as always as Morty, the Bed, Bath and Beyond Employee. David Hasselhoff, Henry Winkler, and Jennifer Coolidge are funny in their supporting roles in this film. Australian audiences expecting to see Sophie Monk in a major role will be disappointed as she is honestly a very minor character in the film, in contrast to what the Comedy Chanel is running about her on Foxtel/Austar.

All in all I do recommend seeing this film, if not to learn a valuable lesson about priorities in life, but to have a laugh and to enjoy a film that is better than what was expected of it.

I agree.

The concept of the click device is a tremendous high concept, for a movie, then on top of that you have layered an Adam Sandler comedy (at the beginning), and over that an Adam Sandler drama (at the end), and it turns out Sandler can handle all three genres.

For me, as a comedy fan, I prefer Sandler's pure comedy movies, and I could have imagined a lot more fun being mined from the concept here, but even I have to accept that the drama works. The drama is in fact the heart of the movie, a sort of spin on Frank Capra's "It's a wonderful life," with a sci-fi twist, and as in Capra's film, a regular guy gets tested and discovers the value of a regular life.

Ultimately, the secret of life in general is to appreciate the life you've got, so I'd say it's a helpful and worthy dramatic message, lifted by the early laughs and the overall superb sci-fi concept.

A good middle-ranking Sandler movie. :)

The beauty of the film is that the hero still has one more chance. He no longer needs a remote - after all, all he needs is around him, that's his happiness. He understood the meaning of life and for what he lives. But this is still a fantasy film. In life, we will not get another chance to live again, we must learn to live now, be able to prioritize so that at the end of life we are not hurt or ashamed. It seems sometimes that we are surrounded by domestic concerns, but we want to finally achieve only what we dream about. But we forget that life is given to us only once, and we must appreciate every moment of it, because it is unique. Every hour of life - even the most boring outwardly, like waiting for a bus on a gray rainy evening - is sent for something specific.

Sometimes emotional scenes are appreciated from public, which caused the film to nominated for Oscar award. Just my thoughts
