Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
educallejero Of course a great idea it was going to be wasted on Adam Sandler's hands. And its INSANE that this movie has a 6.6 score. INSANE.He has a simple message (oh boy, not really original). "Life is great, even those little moments that you take for granted".Ok. Now lets fill the movie with bad jokes, sappy mediocre dramatic moments, unearned emotional grow, etc. What a piece of c...p
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.
Michael Lysaght So, I saw this movie when it came out in 2006. I was 13 years old. I thought the movie was pretty decent back then.However, as time went on, and I began looking at films from a more critical perspective and yeah, there is a lot to say about this movie.First of all, this story is anything but original. The man who was seduced by power? Yeah, I'm pretty sure every variation of that story has been done at this point.Basically, Adam Sandler's character is an overworked architect trying to satisfy both his family and his work colleagues. His boss, David Hasselhoff puts a certain amount of undue pressure on him to get his work done, putting Sandler's family plans to a screeching halt.Trying to make his life a bit easier, he meets Christopher Walken who is a retail salesman, who gives him a universal remote control that "remote-controls your universe." Sandler tries to accomplish his work goals thanks to the remote but it starts becoming self aware, skipping through chapters of his life quite literally and it suddenly turns all tragic.This is the main issue with the film: the tone. The first hour of the film is spent establishing the situation of Sandler's character and the humorous occurrences that take place once he receives the remote. Once it is discovered what the negative repercussions of the remote are, the film proceeds to skip ahead a number of years in the last few scenes, where the situation is explained with throwaway lines of expository dialogue, breaking the first rule of filmmaking: SHOW, DON'T TELL!!!! It's also quite jarring that it suddenly shifts in tone from goofy misadventures with a remote control to tragic heartbreak skipping decades of Sandler's life. No natural flow whatsoever and it takes away from the enjoyment of the film.The concept is intriguing, the only problem is that the material was not used to its full potential.
Josh Apple "Click" is a interesting film hybrid of comedy, drama and some science fiction with adam sandler and somehow it worked.most adam sandler films tends to the dumb-comedy crowd with he's very old 90's comedy shtick that "Billy Madison" and "Happy Gilmore" started but repeated many times later which give sandler the negative reputation since, but then he give a mature performances in "Punch-Drunk Love", "The Longest Yard", "Reign Over Me" and even "Funny People" he can do drama and be believable without force comedy along with his annoying voice.Click is more or less sci-fi retailing of "it's a wonderful life" about an workaholic architect who has slow-life with his family and getting problems from his boss, after some shopping he discovers by a mysterious person a special remote control which he can skip time (fast forward) and change things in the present (Pause or Mute), at first he's enjoys it's advantages, but slowly it controls his workaholic life, destroying his marriage, relationship with his children and he's family. the film has few comedic moment early-on but their are very sandler standers, but when it get emotional and dramatic it make the film more than just another dumb-comedy.the scene where adam sandler's character finds out that his father died it's probably the saddest heart-breaking scene i have ever seen in a film that's how much family is important. Henry Winkler who playing the father gives an excellent performance very strong and emotional.
