Click

Lots of ideas at the beginning and slightly clumsy moralizing at the end. Surprisingly, Adam Sandler goes all in and is skillfully supported by the divine Sean Astin. On the other hand, Kate Beckinsale fulfills the role of a decorative accessory. However, all the life lessons wouldn't bother me as much if it weren't for the key scene in the rain, which instead of evoking sorrow, brought a wide smile to my face due to its ineffectiveness, and the dogs constantly circling the stuffed animal don't seem funny to me either. Given the great concept, it's ultimately a sadly wasted opportunity. (11/15/2006)

The first half is a series of more or less awkward and even more awkward jokes, where my rating oscillated around one star. Fortunately, the second half picked it up, the awkward humour disappeared and it became a quite pleasant, albeit a bit simple-minded moral on the theme "Family above all!" With the passage of time, the initially unlikeable Sandler has become a person who can believably play some deeper emotions. In the end, I would give it 3 stars, but I can't because of the first half. And in conclusion, I can only say with pleasure: "Hola hey, the cult lifeguard and general of shallow commerce, the reborn David Hasselhoff is here again!!!" :o) He clearly enjoyed his role as the boss after his film fast.

Well. It's a bit crazy, the ending is poorly executed and clichéd, but I still like how Adam Sandler conveys various moral values in his own style. This guy just clicks with me and probably nothing he films can change my opinion. "Click" has a lot of weak spots, but there are still moments where I laughed. (05/21/2014)

Family first. To come to this crucial decision, you have to endure about a hundred minutes with this "comedy" gem. The subject matter has some comedic potential, but it shouldn’t have been put into the hands of Coraci and Sandler. In the first half, Click is a classic family comedy except that it is without humor. The creators attempt it here and there, but fecal wannabe humor, like farting in David Hasselhoff's face, can hardly be viewed as being funny. In the second half, the movie changes key, but it deploys another heavyweight: a journey to learn the true values of life. Moreover, with a rather ridiculous attempt at the emotional side of things. Click could have been a decent average comedy in the style of Bruce Almighty... if it had been shorter, without dysfunctional emotionally manipulative scenes, and most importantly, if there had been some humor in it. It's even worse than the usual dumb Sandler movies. Why? Because this pretends to be something more. If it weren't for Sundance, I'd go even lower with the rating. (08/11/2007)

The first half is a typical Sandler movie with all the trimmings. The jokes about jumps in time + the “bonus" function on the remote control + out-talking the neighbor’s brat (to tell the truth, I enjoyed that bit the most:-). While the second half is a sad to touching drama about life. Despite everything, the second half is predictable and simple, but is touching mainly thanks to Sandler’s excellent performance. Plus, Kate Beckinsale’s amazing body drives me crazy ;-). After a repeat screening, I raise it to a 5. (01/18/2007)
