Click (2006)Click is a comedy fantasy film released in 2006 and directed by Frank Coraci (The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy), written by Steve Koren and Mark O'Keefe. Adam Sandler p lays Michael Newman, an overworked architect who stumbles upon a universal remote control — given to him by the eccentric inventor Morty (Christopher Walken) — that can pause, rewind and fast-forward through his own life. What begins as a comic wish-fulfilment fantasy gradually reveals its darker implications as Michael skips past the moments that matter most. The film grossed over $237 million worldwide and is one of Sandler's most emotionally ambitious comedies; the tonal shift into genuine pathos in the film's second half caught many audiences off guard and gives the film a resonance that outlasts its more conventional comic moments. Walken's Morty is one of the great eccentric supporting performances in Sandler's filmography.Highlights Christopher Walken as Morty — Walken brings his unique, otherworldly quality to the role with complete commitment; his scenes with Sandler are the film's comic and emotional highlight, and his final revelation gives the film genuine depth. The remote control concept — Koren and O'Keefe's screenplay uses the premise with real intelligence; the escalating consequences of Michael's choices are logical, funny and increasingly poignant in equal measure. The tonal shift — The film's willingness to move from broad comedy into genuine emotional territory is its most distinctive quality; the scenes of Michael watching his life pass him by are unexpectedly moving and give the film a weight that most Sandler comedies lack. Adam Sandler's performance — One of his more nuanced turns; Sandler handles the film's dramatic demands with real conviction and his chemistry with Kate Beckinsale as his wife Donna gives the family dynamic genuine warmth. The deathbed sequence — The film's emotional climax is genuinely affecting; Sandler plays it straight and the scene lands with a force that is surprising given the film's comic origins, making it one of the more memorable moments in his career.
