Movie Schitzo's Review of "Click"

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2006)

Adam Sandler has made a career out of doing dumb heroes that eventually reach their goal at the end of the movie. For Example, take The Wedding Singer, funny tasteless and clocked about 90 minutes long (actully, it's 95 minutes long) and made good comedy out of it. But, he can also make heartbreaking stories. Take Spanglish for example, he was having wife problems but he got them resolved and made a heartbreaking story out of them. In Click, he combine his hilarity and his heart to create a character named Michael Newman, a family man who has a gorgeous wife named Donna (Kate Beckinsale, stunning as ever) and is a struggling architect trying to get up in the ranks. One night he gets so upset that he goes to BED, BATH AND BEYOND to find a Universal Remote Control to control his universe and through a door labeled BEYOND and meets Morty (Christopher Walken), a man who takes him through a door labeled WAY BEYOND and finds him a Universal Remote that is hot off the market and he gives it to Michael free. But once Michael starts skipping around his universe to make his business life his top priority and in the essence, losing sight of his family, the remote creates a mind of it's own and Michael can't stop it with very heartbreaking results. The cast works very well together in their roles and their were some side characters that were hilarious in their roles: David Hasslehouf as Michael's Boss, Sean Astin as their Son's swimming instructor, Julie Kavner and Henry Winkler as Michael's parents all make for satisfying cameos and the story is amazing and heartbreakingly real. So go and see this amazing and funny film and feel good about your life.
3 out of 4 stars
