Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) is married to the beautiful Donna (Kate Beckinsale) with two terrific kids, Ben (Joseph Castanon) and Samantha (Tatum McCann). 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 (David Hasselhoff) will one day recognise his invaluable contribution and make him a partner. When a frustrating bout with the television remote leads the overworked husband and father to a nearby store, 'Bed, Bath & Beyond' in search of a universal remote with the power to control all of his electronic devices, a curious peek into the back room leads Michael into the company of eccentric employee and talented inventor Morty (Christopher Walken). It seems that Morty has created a device that will not only allow Michael complete control over his television and stereo, but his entire life. (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

A thoughtful film with a well developed plot, which initially draws the viewer into a calm atmosphere, then picks up in intensity and offers a deeper insight into the main character's life. The philosophical part of the plot itself provides an interesting reflection on everyday decisions that ultimately results in a powerful emotional experience. Click is a compelling film that teaches us to value time and live life to the fullest, and leaves a lasting impression on the audience.

Well. It's a bit crazy, the ending is poorly executed and clichéd, but I still like how Adam Sandler conveys various moral values in his own style. This guy just clicks with me and probably nothing he films can change my opinion. "Click" has a lot of weak spots, but there are still moments where I laughed.

Lots of ideas at the beginning and slightly clumsy moralizing at the end. Surprisingly, Adam Sandler goes all in and is skillfully supported by the divine Sean Astin. On the other hand, Kate Beckinsale fulfills the role of a decorative accessory. However, all the life lessons wouldn't bother me as much if it weren't for the key scene in the rain, which instead of evoking sorrow, brought a wide smile to my face due to its ineffectiveness, and the dogs constantly circling the stuffed animal don't seem funny to me either. Given the great concept, it's ultimately a sadly wasted opportunity.

The story is like a see-saw: uninteresting and even cringe moments are followed by genuinely funny and even touching passages at the end, which I always like to remember. And I remember them even more fondly when they featured the traditionally charismatic Walken or Kate Beckinsale in panties (which is still probably the prettiest imaginable scene in Hollywood history). It's a shame about the uneven first half, which dulls many of the motifs and overwhelms them with unnecessary quick gags, and the stupidly violent happy ending – with this subject and cast, it was meant to be an endlessly clever and inspiring film, not an occasionally funny and tryingly deep fairytale that eventually trips over its own feet. 65%

The first half is a typical Sandler movie with all the trimmings. The jokes about jumps in time + the “bonus" function on the remote control + out-talking the neighbor’s brat (to tell the truth, I enjoyed that bit the most:-). While the second half is a sad to touching drama about life. Despite everything, the second half is predictable and simple, but is touching mainly thanks to Sandler’s excellent performance. Plus, Kate Beckinsale’s amazing body drives me crazy ;-). After a repeat screening, I raise it to a 5.
