This is the best Norwegian horror movie I have seen, no doubt! The story is simple and classic, but it works great! 5 friends go snowboarding, when an accident force the group to take shelter in an abandoned mountain hotel. No people in miles radius, and only snow as far as the eye can see... But the worst part is; they are not alone there! The young actors are very good... They all act naturally, and both dialog and the reactions to what's happening is very realistic. Roar Uthaug has done a brilliant job on this movie, and I hope to see more of him in the near future! I also hope to see all of the actors in more movies, especially Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Rolf Kristian Larsen and Victoria Winge... What a great surprise this movie was!!!

I was really afraid that this would be yet another pompous, "America rules!" kind of movie... But I came out moved and very pleasantly surprised. Nicholas Cage seldom does any bad character-interpretations, and he is convincing as John McLoughlin. But the two most impressing achievements in this movie, I think, was Michael Pena as Will Jimeno and Maggie Gyllenhaal as his wife, Allison. Hats off for you two!! I have seen some remarks that this movie was too focused on these two policemen, and missed out on the big tragedy that was happening and all the thousands of people involved.... I must say, I'm glad Oliver Stone didn't get too ambitious on this point! This is not supposed to be a documentary, and it is not supposed to tell everyones story. The movie also gains my respect for not being political at all! 9/11 was a terrible day, not only for America, but for the whole world... I was glad to see that some good things came out of this tragic loss!

As most of us already know, Sandler has done some good comedies ("Happy Gilmore" among others) and some really crappy ones ("Little Nicky" among others)! I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised by this one :) There are some scenes that's really funny, and many heartwarming moments that made me smile... Like most of Sandler's comedies, this one also has an underlying moral. When the familiar clichés threaten the ending of this one, I actually just smiled and wished them welcome through my hard-to-get-rid-of-tears... This is not the best comedy I've seen, but then again, comedy is a hard genre to conquer...!! Regardless of that, "Click" is a warm and loving feel-good film with an important message :) Adam Sandler was his usual likable self, but the best achievements in this one was Christopher Walken and David Hasselhoff...
