Review of Click (2006) by Guido M — 11 Jul 2012

"Even though it can sometime result sensitive and funny, Click has the typical over-raunchy Sandler that in a PG-13 movie does not work".

Never was a fan of Adam Sandler, but I liked The Wedding Singer and many others after all. Click just didn't cut it. The plot was really creative and attractive, and with apart from him an almost cameo cast (David Hasselhoff, Critstopher Walken and Kate Beckinsale), they didn't show fun at all. They were just characters, because the real fun was apported by the writers (Koren and O'Keefe) who between witty and sassy jokes, made this movie a little bit raw but not too much to make it R. It's Adam Sandler the one that exagerates the masterpiece of script with gross acts and actions, and sometimes too offensive and inmature monologues.

To mention that Sandler was a problem, the storytelling or direction is unpaced and terribly messy. And the fact that in heartwarming scenes they put some sex-connected parts goes far over what this comedy should be. Everything indeed is connected to sex in this movie. From the kids to the life, it's all about sex to Sandler and Company.

But, not that bad as you think, Click will make you laugh or just giggle, but it's not Hilarious. Adam shows himself at best but can still improve by trying to keep it more family friendly (Not like Jack & Jill family friendly, but a nice PG-13 smart humour) and they can still put more fun without putting more sex. Details, if they can pull off this details very well, they will do a fantastic comedy.

Michael Newman (Adam Sandler), a succesful architect, lives the life every man would dream of but without enjoying it. One day, while shopping at Bed, Bath & Beyond, he finds Morty (Cristopher Walken), who gives him a device similar to a remote control that can control time. Michael starts living his life as no one has ever done with that control, but nothing is forever, even life, and when the control starts waisting his time, he will have to learn....Enjoy time, or enjoy life?

The moral of the movie is pretty good, and I have to admit I cried in lots of scenes, but It lacks of heart anyway, and also of good-quality fun, that does not cut the movie to the end.
