Product Description A harried workaholic, Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) doesn't have time for his wife (Kate Beckinsale) and children, not if he's to impress his ungrateful boss and earn a well-deserved promotion. So when he meets Morty (Christopher Walken), a loopy sales clerk, he gets the answer to his prayers: a magical remote that allows him to bypass life's little distractions with increasingly hysterical results. But as Michael gleefully mutes, skips and scans past his family and his friends, the remote gradually takes over his life and begins to program him, in this fast, funny and out-of-control comedy adventure. .com Click is a high-concept, low-brow variation on It's a Wonderful Life that will have Adam Sandler fans laughing even as it leaves Frank Capra spinning in his grave. In their third collaboration (after The Wedding Singer and The Waterboy, Sandler and director Frank Coraci aim at the lowest common denominator and consistently hit their target, from scary casting (David Hasselhoff as Sandler's shallow, sexist boss; Sean Astin in a tight red Speedo) to a rancid menu of fart jokes, fat jokes, oversexed dogs, and other attempts at humor that rarely rise above the level of grade-school pranks. Sandler's "family comes first" sentiment somehow manages to survive the onslaught of rude, crude attitude that Sandler brings to his role as Michael Newman, a workaholic architect who learns the hard way that, well, family comes first. This happens after Newman gets a magical remote control from Morty (Christopher Walken, the film's one and only highlight), an eccentric oddball in the "Beyond" section of a Bed, Bath & Beyond store who's a devilish version of Wonderful Life's benevolent guardian angel. But Sandler's no James Stewart as he uses his techno-marvel (complete with a DVD-like "life menu") to fast-forward through his life's most unpleasant moments, only to realize that he's been missing lots of good stuff, too. With Kate Beckinsale as Newman's neglected wife, impressive older-age make-ups by Rick Baker and a lot of digital wizardry to beef up the humor, Click won't disappoint Sandler's established fan base, and its $40 million opening weekend offered ample proof that Sandler's box-office clout remains remarkably consistent.--Jeff Shannon Stills from Click (click for larger image)

One of Adam Sandler's best movies!!
This has to be one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies because it really captures the struggles that many of us struggle with in life, to fast forward through the hard and difficult times in our lives. I have watched this movie at least 8 times, and each time I get emotional as Adam Sandler's character regrets the lost moments of his life by using the remote control. I suppose there are times in my life when having a fast forward, rewind, or skip button would provide some temporary satisfaction, but in retrospect, we have an opportunity to learn from the difficult times in our lives. The last moment when Adam Sandler's character sees his father do the quarter trick while he is on auto-pilot, is regrettably one of the moments that should be treasured, but he never got the chance to thank his father for being supportive and encouraging to him. Or one of the final moments before his "fast forward" character dies, he tells his son that family is more important than business.If you haven't seen the movie, I would highly recommend it. There are some Adam Sandler moments of course that may or may not be offensive, but overall I have never regretted watching this movie and am truly thankful it is still available here on Amazon Prime!!!

It's a Wonderfully Crass Life
I'm aware enough of Adam Sandler's style of comedy to not be too surprised by the crass, base humor that started this film.His character is a jerk, blessed with his health, a good job and lovely family. He appreciates very little of it, and is a workaholic determined to make partner at his firm. In a quest to make life easier, he goes to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to get a new universal remote, which is given to him by Christopher Walken. (Does a character name really matter here? Of course not, it's Walken.) While the crassness continues - there's a recurring theme of the dog in lust with a stuffed duck throughout the movie - it slowly turns to realizing how he fast forwards through the important parts of his life. We all do, to some degree, we just don't have Christopher Walken to blame for it.If the original of It's A Wonderful Life is too saccharine sweet and old fashioned for you, this movie with the same idea but more modern in both setting and behavior may appeal. I put it on to play in the background while doing chores and was surprised how good it turned out to be. With supporting actors like The Hoff, Sean Astin, Rob Schneider, and more, it's more entertaining and has more heart than I expected. Plus dog humping jokes.
