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

Michael Newman is a loving father and husband, but he's got an office and a career he sees more often than his own family. To only make matters worse is a boss who takes everything for granted, including advantage of Michael by dangling a promotion in front of his face. But when one late night trip to a Bed, Bath and Beyond store for a new remote control, Michael finds himself in the possession of a new kind of remote control, developed by an eccentric inventor. A remote control so significant that it allows Michael to be able to fast forward, rewind, pause and practically control all the events in his life. So much to an extent that it becomes a luxury for the overworked man who finally gets some quality time with his family and his life. But not everything lasts forever as Michael is about to find out, when the remote control begins to malfunction, causing Michael to deal with the consequences.

Click is one of Sandler's better movies, and this proves that he can make a good film that does not require him to play flawed charecters like Little Nicky (speech impediment, thanks to his brother hitting him in the face with a shovel), Billy Madison (immature adult) and Waterboy (a mummies boy that isn't allowed to play fools ball)for a cheap laugh, as good as i do think the above films are.
I do like how Adam Sandler works with the same few actors in the majority of his films with Sean Astin (50 1st dates) and Henry (the Fonz) Winkler (Little Nicky and Waterboy) making worthy appearances in Click.
Understandably, some will not like the moralistic route this film takes, but i think that is what helps to make the film.

Before I watched this film, I thought it would be one of those... not really funny at all films that tried too hard to be funny, like those cheesy kids films they're passing off as comedic these days.
Not a bit of it.
It all begins with Adam Sandler (who plays the role very well) when he finds he has little time to spend with his family because his demanding boss (David Hasselhoff) constantly forces work on him. So one thing leads to another, Adam can't keep up and goes in search for a universal controller to help keep on top of all his electrical devices. Just so happens the controller he eventually gets is a special one which can control everything and anything.
This film is, as other reviewers have put, a real tear-jerker. Usually because I was laughing too hard, but although you wouldn't have thought it, there are quite emotional moments as well.
The ending, I found, was quite clever and I didn't expect it. Some may not like it, but I didn't see it coming which is always good :)
So then, I strongly suggest you do what I have done and order your DVD ASAP: this is one film you really can't afford to miss.

This film is charming. Along with 'Reign over me', I think Adam Sandler's films have taken on a self-maturing quality. Not only is the soundtrack excellent, but the plot - which is in itself laughable in its integrity in places - is actually a very brilliant little deceiver. At first, I found the acting woody - fancy casting Beckinsale as wifey -; but, gradually, this film grew on me like some beneficial fungus. The whole film is quite a rollercoaster ride, and I'm peeved that I never saw it in its cinematic glory. Check it out in whichever way possible, and also watch reign over me.
