A Predictable Film That Pulls The Heartstrings

Rating: 6/10 (20 October 2006)

Adam Sandler is given a universal remote by Morty, the Angel of Death (played by Chris Walken). Sandler begins to fast-forward his life and before long he begins to skip all the day to day aspects of life.
The previews leave you with the impression this is a comedy, and there are some parts I found a little funny. But overall this is a drama, and you might cry once the sad music begins playing. Just a fair warning. It happened to me and my brother, it could happen to you.
Sandler is not particularly funny in this film, though it has been pointed out to me he rarely is ever funny. His strength is in playing off his co-stars, and he wasn't really given good co-stars to play with here. His best moment, I thought, was with Rob Schneider, who is by no means a great actor.
Chris Walken, who is an expert comedian, was not really give much to work with here. His character is neither humorous nor as serious as an angel of death should be. As much as I love Walken ,anyone could have played his role.
Hasselhoff was great and this really showcased his potential as a film actor. He has a great presence, and the subtle joke of being around beautiful women (assuming that was a joke) was very nice.
Henry Winkler? For some reason he seems to be in this movie just to be in it... he was not properly utilized, being even less interesting here than in "Scream".
Click is alright, even though you can guess every second of the movie. It is one of those films you might want to watch once a year to keep life in perspective, like "It's a Wonderful Life", "The Wizard of Oz" or "Bambi".
