Click is a 2006 American comedy film directed by Frank Coraci, written by Steve Koren and Mark O'Keefe, and produced by Adam Sandler, who also stars in the lead role. The film co-stars Kate Beckinsale as his wife Donna and Christopher Walken as Morty, an eccentric stranger and apparent inventor. Sandler plays Michael Newman, an overworked architect who neglects his family when he acquires a magical universal remote from Morty that enables him to control reality.

Another fun fact about this film: In 1995, R.L. Stine wrote a very similar story in his "Tales To Give You Goosebumps", with almost the same plot and set-up, even down to the title, "Click". Scholastic, Inc. almost sued Adam Sandler and this film's producers for plagiarism. Both parties agreed the entire situation was a coincidence, so no legal action was ever taken. Both stories could easily be based on the old French tale "The Magic Thread", in which a boy is able to pull a thread to speed up the parts of his life he doesn't like. He quickly finds himself an old man before being given a second chance.

I remember seeing this movie with some friends when it came out, we were all in our early 20's. I said that if I had that remote, I'd absolutely fast forward through years or even decades of my life, losing my family and everyone who mattered to me, if it meant I'd be a rich CEO in the end. My friends all said that I was crazy and that they wouldn't make that sacrifice because family and happiness was more important than money. It's now nearly 20 years later and they're all not only doing financially better than me, but have families and relationships, which I don't have. I'm not sure what my point is, but I find the irony too hilarious not to mention.

@angbandsbane Жыл бұрын

I think Walken being the Angel of Death makes some sense. Foreshadowing-wise, he's obviously supernatural from the get-go (though the AoD hanging out in a Bed Bath and Beyond seems like a prediction nowadays) and his name is Mortie, "morti/mors" being Latin for "death" Plus it fits in, too, at the end when he tells Sandler he doesn't have to die here just to let his son know not to make the same mistakes he did. (An angel telling you that is one thing. Hearing it from the Reaper* himself is another). As far as them being friends at the end, I think he was always acting in good faith since he gave everything back once Sandler learned his lesson and accepted it was the path he chose that led him to where he was. *I just realized that writing this. Walken is a Reaper you don't have to fear. Wonder if that's intended as an SNL reference.

The third act hits hard because of the stupid jokes prior. The scene with the dad comes out of left field in the best and saddest way possible.

And for that reason, despite all the crappy jokes, it holds a special place in our hearts. ❤️

I thought the reveal that Christopher Walken is actually Azrael was actually pretty cool.

Giving him a warning with the lucky charms analogy and when the lesson was learned, he was happy it stuck.

@@SeasideDetective2 The human adaptation I'm assuming is just to make it easier for people to associate when adopting a faith. There's a good deal of the bible that sort of gets washed to appease people as the years have gone by, going under multiple revisions. Not only this, but since a good deal of the Bible at the very least are revisions of short stories unrelated to the faith, it wouldn't surprise me if the original depictions of angels were stolen as well. Hell, Satan themselves weren't even a part of this ever adapting lore at first, especially in terms of how many would know of them now. Not to post like I'm doing this with the intent to insult any faith that uses the Bible, but I just mean to say that it makes sense they made the eventual transition to human depictions.

Not everyone is going to appreciate the humor in Click as it is very crass and sophomoric. Having said that, once you get past the humor, the emotional scenes in the third act really pack a whollup, thus making this movie one of Sandler’s most underrated classics in my opinion. Even the Lucky Charms scene has some deep philosophical truths to it. Morty is basically saying that not everything you pursue will bring you the fulfillment that you expect. If anything, it will leave you dry and wanting more.

Adam uses the remote to go back in time to witness his prom with his future wife. (Ghost of Christmas past.) He uses the pause feature to enjoy and examine his current life. (Ghost of Christmas present.) And he missuses the Autopilot feature to travel to the future. (Ghost of Christmas future.) And yes! The Nostalgia critic got it when he made a Christmas Joke while Adam Sandler wakes up from that display bed and runs back to his blue car. The plot points of this movie are only remixes of what Charles Dickens had already made up.

I'm not sure about that. I've always felt that when dark films have goofy scenes in them, that somehow makes them even darker - nihilistic, even. Besides that, the Nostalgia Critic compares this film to IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, and I don't agree with that comparison. The hero of that movie was, well, a hero, whereas CLICK's protagonist is a selfish a-hole. He doesn't lose his faith; he merely makes a lot of selfish decisions and comes to regret them. More to the point, Frank Capra managed to make a serious film with a happy ending while still keeping the humor (reasonably) subtle, and never going "blue." Once you've introduced exaggerated farting, a stuffed animal getting sodomized, an "office slut," a child getting hit in the face, etc., I think you've blown your chance at being seriously ranked alongside IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.

Robin’s actually good at making people of all ages laugh, while Sandler’s good at making kids laugh and parents roll their eyes. I rate this movie 6/10, it’s pretty good. But the biggest problem with this movie is Adam Sandler himself, he’s just not that convincing in this role and I could see other actors doing a better job

Some thoughts about this movie that would make it better 1) Change the ending rewind by adding a scene. When he is being shown the remote, have Walken show him the "Bookmark" function with him responding "What's a bookmark?" (time goes back) "What's a... oh". It get's brushed off as a joke for laughs, then at the end of the movie he remembers the function and uses that to jump back in time. 2) I don't think his boss was a jerk. It's much more likely he didn't get the promotion because, you know, auto pilot. Imagine that scene where his boss tells him "It feels like every time you are due for a promotion, you just stop trying.". It would have been something. 3) If they aren't going for a total reset, imagine an alternate ending where his son is going through his belongings, pulls out the remote with a "Huh, I wonder what this is for". 4) The auto function of the remote is fine, but there are times where he only did something like twice before it kicked in. 5) Although direct, I would have liked a reveal that Walken was the Angel of Death who gave him the remote intentionally knowing he would come back. Ending with him telling Sandler something along the lines of "Most people just coast through life but your future isn't like a movie, it's not written down by a creative mind. It's up to you to make it the best it can be."

@Adrianne519 Жыл бұрын

What makes that scene with his father even more emotional is Adam wasn’t acting, those were real emotions, real tears. Just a few years earlier he had lost his father and he was thinking of him. I can’t remember where I either read or watched it but Henry Winkler talked about how emotional it was and how he was so honored that Adam let him be the proxy for his dad, it was very sweet! For me it’s the best scene in the movie. Everyone just nailed it. I cry way more then the rain scene, it’s a sad scene but the other is far more related, this could happen to anyone.

I love Click. Other than the gross farting scene, the movie is...just special. I find it really funny, and it never fails to get me to cry. The moment Sandler sees his father for the final time, and that second-to-last scene where he sacrifices his life just to make sure his son didn't follow in his footsteps...like, even with a lot of the cringey or dumb jokes, I don't care. It's just a really fun and powerful movie, at heart. I know a lot of people don't really enjoy it, but I've always loved it. It's got a special place in my heart. Also, I think my favorite joke in the movie is near the beginning when Sandler is with his family, and a group of punks are lighting off fireworks to startle people, and he gets fed up and starts to chase after them, including climbing over a fence just to chase after them, all while yelling: "YEAH, YOU BETTER RUN! I KICKED YOUR FATHER'S ASSES IN HIGH SCHOOL, NOW I'M GONNA KICK YOURS!" And the little boy he mistook for his own earlier sobs nearby and says: "I hate that man..." That part cracks me up EVERY time.
