Product Description: A harried workaholic Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) doesn't have time for his wife (Kate Beckinsale) and children not if he's to impress his ungrateful boss and earn a well-deserved promotion. So when he meets Morty (Christopher Walken) 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. But as Michael gleefully mutes skips and scans past his family and his friends the remote gradually takes over his life and begins to program him in this fast funny and out-of-control comedy adventure.SPECIAL FEATURES:Deleted ScenesFine Cookin Featurette Additional "Fat Suit" footageMake Me Old and Fat Featurette behind-the-scenes of the make-up effectsFX of Click a look at the special effectsCommentary with Adam Sandler Director Frank Coraci Executive Producer Tim Herilhy and Writer Steve KorenDesign My Universe: Production Design FeaturetteCars of the Future: A Look at the futuristic cars created for the filmDirector's Take: Featurette on the Director Frank CoraciSystem Requirements:Run Time: 107 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 043396148383 Manufacturer No: 14838
Amazon.com: Click is a high-concept, low-brow variation on It's a Wonderful Life that will have Adam Sandler fans laughing even as it leaves Frank Capra spinning in his grave. In their third collaboration (after The Wedding Singer and The Waterboy, Sandler and director Frank Coraci aim at the lowest common denominator and consistently hit their target, from scary casting (David Hasselhoff as Sandler's shallow, sexist boss; Sean Astin in a tight red Speedo) to a rancid menu of fart jokes, fat jokes, oversexed dogs, and other attempts at humor that rarely rise above the level of grade-school pranks. Sandler's "family comes first" sentiment somehow manages to survive the onslaught of rude, crude attitude that Sandler brings to his role as Michael Newman, a workaholic architect who learns the hard way that, well, family comes first. This happens after Newman gets a magical remote control from Morty (Christopher Walken, the film's one and only highlight), an eccentric oddball in the "Beyond" section of a Bed, Bath & Beyond store who's a devilish version of Wonderful Life's benevolent guardian angel. But Sandler's no James Stewart as he uses his techno-marvel (complete with a DVD-like "life menu") to fast-forward through his life's most unpleasant moments, only to realize that he's been missing lots of good stuff, too. With Kate Beckinsale as Newman's neglected wife, impressive older-age make-ups by Rick Baker and a lot of digital wizardry to beef up the humor, Click won't disappoint Sandler's established fan base, and its $40 million opening weekend offered ample proof that Sandler's box-office clout remains remarkably consistent.--Jeff Shannon
"Scrooged Meets Cats In the Cradle" I was expecting this film to suck. I thought it was going to be slapstick and boobs, but it was much more.
Perhaps it's because I have young kids and a husband who is constantly looking at his blackberry, I dunno. I really enjoyed it. I laughed, I cried, it was better than the time I went to see Cats at a really old theater in Baltimore, sat in the back so I couldn't hear anything, and was worrying about my daughter being at the babysitters for so long.
If you like Adam Sandler, I recommend it.
The best This is Adam Sandler's best movie yet. In this one he is a overworked archtiect who is always trying to please his boss David Hassellholf and spending time with his family. His wife is played by Kate Beckinsale and his parents are played by the guy who played fonnzy on Happy Days and his mom is the person who does the voice of marge simpson. It has it share of funny moments and it's very touching moments. From that point on, he meets Christopher Walkin, who gives him a universal remote control that controls the universe. It can do anyting, he can mute his dog and anybody who talks. He can change the language the people speak, he can go back and look at old memories, he can also skip to the future, like if he didnt want to take a shower, he would fast-foward. But the bad part happens when he fast fowards to his promotion, his promotion didn't come untill a year later, and since he did that, the remote automatically skips all showers, all the times he has sex with his wife and it skips him to his next promotion which is another ten years he skips and then comes the more sad stuff.
Emotional Wringer I bought this film because when I rented it it made me cry and I knew I wanted it in my collection. It may be the ONLY Adam Sandler movie I will ever own. The story is wonderful, the acting really good and the funny moments in it aren't overdone or immature as much as Sandler's material is. The hidden gem in this film is Sean Austin and Henry Winkler. Both do a wonderful job with the parts they were given. I highly recommend this film, esp if you enjoy a good cry.
Sandler at his finest - witty yet spiritual The spiritual metaphors are rampant in this intelligently and cleverly orchestrated film. When the movie is over, you'll be inspired to enjoy every moment more than you already do, and that's saying a lot!
Though the primary spiritual messages are clear as day, you may have to watch it two or three times just to pick up on all the subtleties that make this shine as one of the best spiritual movies in quite some time... especially considering it is targeted towards mainstream audiences.
If you don't like Adam Sandler, then I strongly urge you to give this film a try... it truly is his best. And if you are a Sandler fan, then you won't be disappointed despite there being much less slapstick humor in this movie than his others.
