Featured reviews
Humor aside,the movie gives you a very strong & important life lesson that everyone should be aware of.
I have never been a fan of Adam Sandler, though I have seen a few of his movies. I am in my 40s and I notice that the appeal for him seems to be with teenagers and young adults--and I assume most of the reviews here are by younger reviewers. So here is a review that might be a little different--a 40-something who is a bit of a hard sell.
Overall, I was surprised that I did like this film as much as I did. It was far deeper and less dopey than films like BILLY MADISON and HAPPY GILMORE and seemed like an attempt by the rapidly aging Sandler to make a more adult film. While there are still lots of crude jokes that fell flat for me (such as the dog and the stuffed animal), there was still plenty to like and a depth that surprised me. Also, while there were some comedic moments, after a while it became obvious that this was really a comedy-drama--with the second half of the film being very serious and even touching.
So here we seem to have an Adam Sandler movie that might just appeal to kids AND parents--one that everyone can get something out of and enjoy. I am happy I saw this one and wouldn't mind seeing more films like it.

Heartwarming and thought-provoking comedy-drama that brings laughter and tears in equal measure.
First and foremost, Adam Sandler's performance as Michael Newman is delightful. He brings his signature humor and charm to the character, making Michael a relatable and endearing protagonist. Sandler's portrayal evolves from lighthearted comedy to moments of genuine emotion, showcasing his versatility as an actor.
The film's premise of a magical remote control that controls time is a unique and creative concept. The comedic moments, especially when Michael uses the remote to manipulate situations, bring a lot of laughs. However, as the story progresses, the film takes an unexpectedly poignant turn, exploring the importance of family and the value of living in the present.
The emotional depth of the narrative is beautifully balanced with humor, making Click a touching and heartwarming film. It manages to tug at your heartstrings while still delivering moments of laugh-out-loud comedy.
The supporting cast, including Kate Beckinsale, Christopher Walken, and David Hasselhoff, complements Sandler's performance with their own comedic talents. The interactions between the characters add to the film's overall charm.
The film's exploration of the consequences of chasing success at the expense of family time is relatable and thought-provoking. It serves as a reminder of the importance of cherishing the moments with our loved ones.
In conclusion, Click is a touching and enjoyable film that offers a perfect blend of humor and heartfelt moments. With Adam Sandler's engaging performance, the creative premise, and the film's valuable message, it's a movie that leaves a lasting impression.
If you're looking for a comedy-drama that brings laughter, tears, and valuable life lessons, Click is a must-watch. It's a film that reminds us to appreciate the present and cherish the time we have with our loved ones.

This movie plays like a comedy, does some crappy jokes, which takes this movie down a bit from what it really is - a great drama. It has amazing character development it shows us why family is important. It's a great drama for whole family.
Only a 10 can be given to this monumental art piece that changed cinema forever.
