Adam Sandler's Best Movie Ever!

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2015)

Adam Sandler like to have reoccurring themes of family and fathers in his movies. He also creates his own toilet-humour and acts very childish in much of his movies. Ergo, anybody that does not like Adam Sandler may not like this movie because his humour and immaturity does not change in this. However, it is decreased and not as bad as one of his previous films like Billy Madison. This is an Adam Sandler creation and he makes this movie with the only kind of humour and themes he knows.
In Big Daddy, the main theme was the importance of fatherhood. 50 First Dates was love no matter what. Click's is that life is too short. The theme of life being too short has not been done very much which makes it very fresh and original. It is also a very important life lesson that often goes ignored and is not talked about as much as money not buying everything. Even Sandler haters must give credit where credit is due and admit Click had a really good theme. Though there is just one major theme, it is still enough to handle.
Sandler plays architect, Michael Newman, who's wife (Beckinsale) and kids are happy, but he is not. He is a workaholic who can't stand up to his boss (Hasselhoff) and aspires to one day be head of the company so he can work less and his family can be filthy rich. He meets mysterious Morty (Walken) who gives him a universal remote control that can control his life. At first, Michael uses it in funny and helpful ways. After he abuses its powers, the remote programs itself automatically skipping various stages in his life. Just seeing how far the remote takes him by itself is heartrending and you really feel for Michael. The older Michael gets, the more of a huge and self-centred architect head he becomes, causing his family to push away from him. That shows the importance of family theme, which is done better than Sandler's other flicks because this is done a lot more serious. Michael eventually skips to the point where he is on his deathbed and asks Morty "why did you make me waste my entire life?" Although he is not that old and skipped about 20 years, it really does feel like he wasted his whole life. When it seems like it is the end for Michael, it is enough to literally make you cry. No other Sandler comedy features acting or filming, or anything like that this good.
Sandler does keep his humour, but adds a more serious and heartrending tone to it's lessons, making it his best movie.
