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.

What? It's a bit crazy, and the ending is poorly handled and clichéd in terms of scriptwriting, but I still like how Adam Sandler delivers various moral values in his own style. This guy just clicks with me, and probably nothing he makes can change my opinion about him. Click has a lot of weak points, but there were still moments where I laughed.

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 series of more or less awkward and even more awkward jokes, where my rating oscillated around one star. Fortunately, the second half picked it up, the awkward humour disappeared and it became a quite pleasant, albeit a bit simple-minded moral on the theme "Family above all!" With the passage of time, the initially unlikeable Sandler has become a person who can believably play some deeper emotions. In the end, I would give it 3 stars, but I can't because of the first half. And in conclusion, I can only say with pleasure: "Hola hey, the cult lifeguard and general of shallow commerce, the reborn David Hasselhoff is here again!!!" :o) He clearly enjoyed his role as the boss after his film fast.

Family first. To come to this crucial decision, you have to endure about a hundred minutes with this "comedy" gem. The subject matter has some comedic potential, but it shouldn’t have been put into the hands of Coraci and Sandler. In the first half, Click is a classic family comedy except that it is without humor. The creators attempt it here and there, but fecal wannabe humor, like farting in David Hasselhoff's face, can hardly be viewed as being funny. In the second half, the movie changes key, but it deploys another heavyweight: a journey to learn the true values of life. Moreover, with a rather ridiculous attempt at the emotional side of things. Click could have been a decent average comedy in the style of Bruce Almighty... if it had been shorter, without dysfunctional emotionally manipulative scenes, and most importantly, if there had been some humor in it. It's even worse than the usual dumb Sandler movies. Why? Because this pretends to be something more. If it weren't for Sundance, I'd go even lower with the rating.
