Click (DVD) ... released 29 January, 2007 at Sony Pictures Home Ent. UK / Features of the DVD: Dubbed, PAL, Widescreen / 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 humour 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 humour, Click won't disappoint Sandler's established fan base, and its US$40 million opening weekend offered ample proof that Sandler's box-office clout remains remarkably consistent.--Jeff Shannon

 ... slightly deranged sales clerk who gives him a magical remote control that can control his universe. At first Michael enjoys the remote as he mutes conversations, changes languages, skips arguments with his wife, skips an unwanted family dinner, and so forth. However things soon start to turn bad when the self programming remote takes control causing months and then years of his life to pass in a click. I have to tell you (somewhat reluctantly) that I actually found the film to be deep, enjoyable, comical and emotional. We...more

Click is a film released in 2006 starring Adam Sandler as Michael Newman, Kate Beckinsale as Donna Newman and David Hasselhoff as Ammer. The plot is simply that Michael Newman is given a remote control which gives him the power to fast forward his life, pause his life and many other functions. The film shows what happens when someone is given that power. I'm a fan of Adam Sandler, I've enjoyed his other films, especially Big Daddy and the Water Boy. I thought his performance in this film was strong, he had to show a range of emotions across the film whilst still trying to come across as funny. Hasselhoff seemed at first to be mis-cast, a rather unlikely actor ...

Click A Film About Life I’m funny about films that get recommended to me. When someone says “oooh! You really must see this film called…” I invariably switch off. Himself does it all the time. There is ALWAYS a film that he truly believes I really MUST see (the Abyss is top of his hit list!) and somehow, the fact that someone really wants me to do something like sit for two and a half hours in front of a big box of moving pictures really annoys the hell out of me and gets me in rebellion mode big time. Maybe it’s the pregnancy hormones, maybe it’s just me. Occasionally, I will give in. Occasionally. The Patriot was a film I “gave in” to, and ...

Having watched this movie for the first time only last night I can only say Im disappointed! I am a huge fan of Adam Sandler, right from his appearances in the Cosby show to Little Nicky through to The Waterboy, Big Daddy and 50 First Dates but I found this film long and drawn out and very far fetched. Written by Stev Koran & Mark O Keefe and directed by Frank Coraci, Click is a film about main charachter Michael Newman, a hard working family man always trying to get that promotion he deserves. The problem is that in doing so he begins to neglect his wife and kids, favouring work instead.... When he is given a special remote by a man ...
