I saw this when I was very young, I still can't get through it with out crying, it start funny and all but when you don't expect it, it hits you up right in the feels. :sob: It's a roller coaster of emotions for me idk maybe I'm weird.
this is one of best work of Adam Sandler.
I like to watch this movie time to time just to remind me to appreciate my life, my time and think more about my actions. you may find it funny but this movie taught me great lessons.
Lulls you in as a typical silly Sandler flick (complete with potty humour) but then does a sneaky on you half way through and goes for the sentimental overload that hits you right in the feels. I keep thinking I'll get through it without crying but I never do.
Starts out so well with an interesting premise, then blows it halfway through. I would've loved if it was Sandler purposely using the remote to gain immense power & wealth, while distancing himself from his family -- ergo, pride goeth before a fall. But instead, we just have him being held hostage by the remote, while making immature or gross jokes throughout. This movie had a lot of potential, to the point of being similar to a Black Mirror episode, but they blew it. I can't imagine what drugs the other commenters were taking, but it must've been good.
Also Morty was annoying.
6,5/10
One of the better Adam Sandler movies
This movie really reflected an Adam Sandler in transition. Sure he started off as a workaholic family neglecting man. But he still seemed like Billy Madison/Happy Gilmore. Given the power of the remote, he does things like kick people in the nuts and fart in his bosses face. Seemed pretty old school and standard comedy fair. I guess this is what I was expecting from this movie since it was marketed this way. But then the director changes his mind. The theme starts to get more serious and take on life lessons. A stretch from where it started. Don't get me wrong, I think it was a good change but it just doesn't seem to fit. Henry Winkler was great as his dad. The scene where he rewinds to the last time he saw his father was very sad. Then they seal the deal by telling you he wasn't there when his dad died. Also nicely done was the scene at his son's wedding where he is fumbling while try to figure out exactly what he has missed this time. The moral of the story is solid and one worth turning into a film. I'm just not impressed with the path the director took us down to get there.
Sandler should use the control to erase most of his movies.
Teared up at the touching moments and the underlying message of the movie, but it could not save the movie itself from being terrible. The protagonist is unlikable, doesn't listen to advice and keeps blaming the 'messenger' for ruining his life. Buddy, you ruined your own life by not heeding advice, and acting throughout majority of the movie like somebody who just can't delay gratification (or bad moments), even though he has been through so many events that served as lessons.
Heck, the rain scene near the end where he chases down his son to relay the important message of putting family first could have been very meaningful, but throughout that scene I simply thought: he still isn't listening to advice (Morty warns him it can all end here if he continues), and undermines the scene because 'putting family first' doesn't mean you can sacrifice your own life to deliver a message that probably can be done over a communication device while not sacrificing your life, or perhaps even the next time when they visit. Unnecessarily sacrificing your own life is simply being selfish and not putting your own family first, even if it means your message will have 100x more impact.
To add to the negatives, Sandler's expressions were wooden throughout the movie, except when his character felt distraught, which ironically I would think requires more acting skills. Not having watched many of Sandler's movies, I wondered if that was meant to be his character's expression, or simply that the acting was bad. Either way, it was quite distracting and pulled the bar down even lower.

First time watching this film, and to be totally honest I found it incredibly eye-opening and moving. I feel like I took plenty away from this, and I think it’s a film I could find myself watching again and again, there is a lot of be learnt from this film to remind us of our actions, and the importance of our life. I do not understand the negative reviews, I absolutely loved it. For me, Adam Sandlers best work and well Kate Beckinsale is absolutely beautiful and is aging like a fine wine.
This is just literally Joker
Click is yet another stereotypical Adam Sandler film that’s full of his juvenile hijinks. Overwhelmed by his job and family, Michael Newman is given a universal remote by a mysterious salesman that allows him to control his life, but it soon starts to control him. It kind of has A Christmas Carol motif with Michael visiting the past and future, and seeking to make appends for his failures. Featuring Kate Beckinsale, Christopher Walken, and David Hasselhoff, the supporting cast is pretty strong; but they’re unable to stop Sandler from wrecking the film with his idiotic antics. And the sad thing is, at its core the film has a touching message about the importance of family and how precious life is. But the crass, immature, and moronic humor of Sandler is constantly undercutting it. Yet Sandler stupidity aside, Click is a fairly entertaining comedy that has some touching moments.
Click is likely one of the best Adam Sandler movies since the new millennium. Its still got very adolescent humor but there is enough heart that it can still be enjoyed. The third act tries a little too hard to draw emotions that it feels a little jarring but the cast are solid and Click makes for a smooth cable or Netflix watch.
can't wait to watch it

Just wow. This film really has it all for me, humour, good story and motive and it really pulls on the heart strings. Really not what I expected from a Sandler film but this is definitely among the top films he's ever made.
I went into this film expecting to be crying, I recall seeing it when I was younger and remembered that it was sad, but couldn't remember specifics. There is a lot of emotions throughout this whole film, so make sure you've got tissues handy.
Firstly, Sandlers character is a difficult one to sympathise with, simply because he is so arrogant and impatient. There were many times when I thought "yeh you deserve to lose your wife if you behave like this". But that didn't stop it from being sad. Whilst I think this movie progressed really quickly, it definitely worked as the point of this movie felt like "life is quick". When it got to the later stages of his life it really started to get hard to watch without getting teary eyed. The scene where he last sees his father is a big one, one that really hurt, it made me want to just call my dad and talk to him forever.
The lesson of this film is outstanding, "family comes first" and it has an immensely effective way of getting that lesson across, I think this is going to be one of the films that I will never forget.
I could write lots about this film but I am struggling to find all the words.
8/10
