Michael Newman is married to the beautiful Donna and they have two terrific kids, Ben and Samantha. But he doesn't get to see them much because he's putting in long, hard hours at his architectural firm in the elusive hope that his ungrateful boss will one day recognize his invaluable contribution and make him a partner. When he goes looking for a Universal Remote to make his life simplier, Morty, gives him a remote that can control his universe.
Adam Sandler gives us what seems to be a combination of the crude humor of his previous movies with The Family Man and It's a Wonderful Life. Throw in the remote as a plot driver and there's your movie. The ability to fast forward, pause, rewind or even mute our lives is something that he thinks he wants but finds out that he really doesn't. Jumping from milestone to milestone of his life makes him realize how important it is to not just get through life to get to the next promotion but to really LIVE life day by day, hour by hour, and minute by minute. I love it when a movie hits home for me personally. There are some movies that stimulate the brain but others that touch the heart. This is definitely the latter. I couldn't help but think about decisions that I make in my own life in regards to priorities while watching this movie as well as the consequences of those decisions. I love the imagination and vision that went into what his life would be like in the future and how his life decisions make such an impact. What a great lineup of talent too. Adam Sandler is great as comic relief in this movie; Kate Beckingsale is beautiful and perfect as his wife; Henry Winkler is perfectly cast as Sandler's dad; Hasselhoff as Sandler's boss; Sean Austin as a constant gag; and Christopher Walken takes this movie to the next level as Morty. Great casting.
This is the humor you would expect in an Adam Sandler movie thus sex jokes and language throughout. PG-13 rating is earned.
I hate it when previews for a movie tell the entire story. However, a preview is perfect when it spotlights one aspect of the movie while not giving it all away. That is what is done here. I walked in thinking "light-hearted comedy" and walked away re-examining my life and my priorities. I can't say that this will be the case for everyone but you'll soon discover that Click is more than just a good laugh.
