Profile of Click

The mood of Click is sentimental, humorous, and offbeat. The plot centers around a wish come true, a situation where nothing goes right, and themes of unfulfillment. It is a comedy and fantasy movie. Stylistically, Click is surreal. The movie is known for being a blockbuster and an award winner. It is especially suggested for a date night and teens. Note that Click includes profanity.

Summary of Click

Directed by Frank Coraci (THE WEDDING SINGER, THE WATERBOY), CLICK is about more than how much fun it would be to fast-forward through all of the boring and unpleasant parts of life. Instead, it reinforces the importance of making time for the most important things in life, with family at the top of the list. Overworked Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) just can't catch a break. His boss (David Hasselhoff) doesn't want to hear that he has family commitments, and his family is upset that he never has time for them. Michael might be doing the right thing in order to get ahead, but his wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), and children feel neglected. His breaking point: the multitude of remote controls in the house are driving him nuts, and Michael ventures out late one evening in search of a universal remote control to simplify his life.

His quest leads him to the back room at Bed, Bath & Beyond and Morty (Christopher Walken), the archetypical mad scientist with wild hair, a bowtie, and zany glasses. Michael returns home armed with a top-of-the-line universal remote, but soon realizes that it does more than control the household appliances: the new remote actually works on time and people. With a click, Michael finds himself fast-forwarding through fights with his wife, muting her irritating best friend, and changing the volume of his dog's bark. He's even able to return to scenes from his past complete with commentary. But when his life begins fast-forwarding out of control, Michael begins to understand the importance of spending time with the people you love, being invested in your life, and living every day to the fullest. Sandler is likable as Michael, and Walker is simultaneously dorky and creepy as Morty.

Critics Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle
One of the best American films of the year so far.
The Hollywood Reporter
The movie is gag-filled, as you would expect of a Sandler movie, but the filmmakers realize they have hit upon an idea that is both clever and good, so they edge their comedy into some darker areas of human behavior.

Users Reviews

I really enjoyed the meaning of this movie. It was refreshing even if a little depressing at the end. However, the humor was very crude and sophomorish (high school). I guess that is to be expected with an Adam Sandler movie.
Adam Sandler gives us what seems to be a combination of the crude humor of his previous movies with The Family Man and It's a Wonderful Life. Throw in the remote as a plot driver and there's your movie. The ability to fast forward, pause, rewind or...
