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.

Loved this movie and it's probably one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. There is so much heart in this movie! Adam Sandler really gives his all to this role and you really feel for him and the movie makes you think about your own life and how you shouldn't take the people in your life for granted and you should live life to the fullest. This movie is so funny and i will always enjoy this movie!

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.

Click is a 2005 Comedy film starring Adam Sandler as Michael Newman. Michael lives a very average life, and is not very much respected by his family. He's frustrated with everything thats going on around him, and one thing that starts off the movie. The TV remote. He can never manage to find the right TV remote to turn on and watch TV. Until one day he finally had enough, and goes to a store named 'Bed, Bath & Beyond' to which he finds a secret compartment to which Christopher Walken in working. He receives this special remote, which doesn't only control the TV, but controls everything that goes on around him. This is a very funny, and well remembered comedy by Adam Sandler, and is one i have scene many times and don't ever get bored of it. Stars the usual Cast of Sandler films, and included Sean Astin who starred in Sandler's last movie '50 First Dates' (2004) I would highly recommend this film to anyone to watch, it is highly enjoyable and one of the most funniest films i've seen.
