Adam Sandler plays Michael Newman, a family man whose busy career as an architect doesn‘t leave much time for his wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), and two kids. Unable to figure out which of his many remotes turns on the television, he goes shopping for a universal remote and finds the perfect device through Morty (Christopher Walken), who gives him a one–of–a–kind remote with magical powers. With each click, Michael is able to control his career and personal life. But complications arise when the remote starts to overrule his choices and remember instead what he in the past preferred to skip. So as the remote starts fast-forwarding on its on Michael must find away to bring balance to his life before it's too late.

I normally don’t get too emotional in movies but I am not afraid to admit that Click brought a tear to my eyes in its climatic moments as it moved me that much. Sure, the movie is another in a long line of Adam Sandler comedies with the occasional fart joke but the movie has more heart to it than you would ever imagine just from the trailers. The movie has a moral that family is more important than work and almost like It’s a Wonderful Life it almost takes the main character to long to realize what he is missing in all those little moments he had chosen to fast forward. I think it would be fairly safe to say that the movie is very poignant and that while it can be fun and funny it also remembers to be something more. I think this is what most people will take with them, not the occasional fart joke but the morals of the movie and how each choice we make and each moment we spend can decide the rest of our lives.

I am glad to see Adam Sandler is growing up, even though his cohorts in crime Rob Schnieder and their ilk just seem to be stuck in the past when the bathroom flick was somewhat newer and not so worn down. So by expanding out Sandler has found that he can reach families and is no longer stuck with just the same teenage crowd laughing at jokes that aren’t that funny. I don’t think Sandler will ever entirely escape from comedic foils like in Click where he farts in his bosses mouth to get back at him but at least that isn’t all his movies are anymore. I liked the moral and he seemed to really want to see it as he does truly seem to regret the life he gave up for work, so it works, it’s funny, it’s entertaining and in the end it just make you cry with its touching moral and story.

I am starting to get a little tired of Christopher Walken as he seems to pop up in about four hundred movies every single year but for once I actually enjoyed his performance in a movie. His quirky over the top character is a nice complement to Sandler who is playing it more down to earth this time. Kate Beckinsale never really gets to shine as they never really bother to flesh out her character just using her more as a prop for Sandler anytime he needs something to ground him back to earth. The movie has some really good cameos from Henry Winkler who play’s Sandler’s dad and delivers a lot of funny one liners to Sean Astin who is constantly made fun of for wearing Speedos’. The cast seemed to have fun and that makes the movie fun, they worked well together and the movie works well on many different levels and is one of Adam Sandler’s better movies.
