Synopsis

A married workaholic, Michael Newman doesn't have time for his wife and children, not if he's to impress his ungrateful boss and earn a well-deserved promotion. So when he meets Morty, a loopy sales clerk, he gets the answer to his prayers: a magical remote that allows him to bypass life's little distractions with increasingly hysterical results.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
ratari This came out in 2006 and somehow I missed even hearing about it, until I happened upon a preview of it. After several Adam Sandler movies, I swore I would never bother with any more. I saw the previews for Click and figured if it had Christopher Walken in it that it might just be worth watching. It was a very pleasant surprise. It was just quirky and funny enough to be enjoyable. Granted, some of the jokes were a bit forced and corny, but overall it held my attention and entertained me. There is one scene near the end where Sandler gave a great heartfelt performance. Click is not a dark comedy or goofy, instead it is a comedy with a touching message that everyone can appreciate. Would it win an Oscar? No. But it is certainly worth watching!
BA_Harrison Adam Sandler vehicle Click starts off as a goofball fantasy comedy that isn't all that funny, then turns into a surprisingly bleak but eventually heartwarming parable about not wasting your life, although for a while there I could have sworn that I was watching something else entirely: a movie about depression.Sandler's character, Michael Newman, a workaholic architect who cannot find the time to spend with his family, is obviously suffering from severe stress and appears to have a mental breakdown. It's at this point that the enigmatic Morty (Christopher Walken) offers him a solution: a universal remote with which he can control his life, fast-forwarding through all the bad bits.Think of Morty as a doctor and swap 'universal remote' with 'anti-depressants' and what follows can be seen in a different light. When Michael uses the remote, he is on auto-pilot, like a zombie, and before he knows it, years have passed and he has missed out on many of his family's special moments. Ultimately, his relationship with his gorgeous wife Donna (Kate Beckinsale) breaks down, he piles on the pounds, and winds up alone, having lost all that is dear to him. Then he dies.Of course, this being a Hollywood comedy, this isn't how the story ends: Michael's miserable life turns out to have been a dream; waking up before his encounter with Morty, he decides to change his ways and make the most of every moment from now on. When offered the remote once again, he simply chucks it in the bin. If only it were that simple.6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for the astounding old age make-up.
seitanns The idea for Click (2006) by Adam Sandler is really good, but not really well executed, I really liked Mr.Sandler's work in other movies like Jack and Jill because I saw them with my dad and we laughed a lot of how bad it is, so yeah, Click (2006) by Adam Sandler is in fact, really good.
DVR_Brale Rarely do I see a comedy which becomes better and better towards the end. Click is one of those rare movie since it puts a lot of emphasis on the moral of the story. Somewhere halfway through the movie director decided to make a cut and alongside comedy elements include existential motives and he's done that pretty well. Rarely you see a movie which combines deep questions and pure comedy because you need an inspiring and original screenplay to achieve that.Michael Newman, a workaholic architect, gets his hands on a remote which allows him to fast forward any part of his life he wishes to. He usually puts work over family and has to make certain compromises. Now he doesn't have to hustle anymore. As the movie proceeds we start to see how badly things turn out for him. Not because of circumstances which are out of his control but because of decisions he alone and only he had made. Placing emphasis on that dimension is what makes this movie surprisingly good. That approach is surely going to make you question, at least for a moment, what are your life's priorities and how is you life going to eventually end if you keep making the same decisions.Adam Sandler is everything you expect him to be. It's refreshing to see Kate Beckisnale playing a wife and a mother. It think she's the major reason for charm this movie has. Cristopher Walken plays Morty; I'd call him 'angel the scientist'. You can also see young Jonah Hill before he became this famous! This crew definitely managed to create charming and relaxed atmosphere. Let me conclude: if you're only looking for a good laugh, you'll find it here. If you're looking for a motivation and a strong personal message, you'll find it here as well. Don't miss getting a good laugh and lesson at the same time!P.S. I'd strongly recommend seeing The Family Man (2000) starring Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni if you want to see a similar movie. It's as good as it gets.
