Wow! Such a good movie.
Stylish but barely mediocre overall
A Disappointing Continuation
How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
View MoreI liked it. The only problem was that Morty never really existed. So the note Morty left at the end of the movie to Michael didnt make sense because of that fact. He had dreamed it all and neither Morty nor that section of the store existed. So to put that note there at the end was completely non-sensical. But it was a good movie.
View MoreRarely 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.
View MoreWhen one thinks of an Adam Sandler film, the phrase "juvenile humor" immediately comes to mind, filled with low-brow humor and outlandish acting. Fortunately, "Click" is a departure (for the most part) from that categorization by providing an interesting story, developed characters, and very solid acting.For a basic plot summary, "Click" sees Michael Newman (Sandler) struggling to find time for his family while wearing himself out for his never-impressed boss. On a routine trip to find a universal TV remote, Michael runs into a crazy scientist (played by Christopher Walken) who gives him a "universal remote", alright...one that can control his entire life! Hilarity, emotions, & hijinks ensue.Besides the novel concept, this movie outshines other Sandler flicks due to its heart. While shaping up (in the early goings) to be a hijinks comedy, somewhere along the way a heavy dose of emotion is thrown into the proceedings. By the end of the film, the viewer will actually care about the main characters and want to see their resolutions.Granted, "Click" does still contain some of the typical Sandler low-brow humor, but it isn't too over-the-top or suffocating. Far outweighing that aspect is the above-average acting from pretty much the entire cast, which produces a real connection between characters and audience.Overall, "Click" is a fun little movie (though not for the younger kiddies) that may (at least in a small way) change your perception of Mr. Sandler. This isn't his goofy "Waterboy" or farcical "Billy Madison". Instead, director Frank Coraci crafts an actual storyline filled with character development and fun concepts.
View MoreAfter watching this movie for the 10th time i realized that this movie is now 10 years old as of June 23 2016 and yet after all this time it still feels like new, like i'm watching it for the first time ever and even though i know whats gonna happen next, my emotions will always set in.Ah one of Adam Sandler's greatest performances, a beautiful comedy, drama and fantasy film. A film that can play with your emotions like a toddler with a rattle in the way that at first it's a hilarious drama/comedy that will make you laugh your ass off like never before, but also put all of your emotions in a balloon and then pop it.There is a very old saying "You never miss the water till the well runs dry" And you will understand the meaning of this saying after you have watched this film.This film is a MUST watch.
