Click
A married workaholic, Michael Newman doesn't have time for his wife and children, not if he's to impress his ungrateful boss and earn a well-deserved promotion. So when he meets Morty, 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.
Critics Sentiment
Michael uses remote for workplace pranks and skipping inconveniences
Michael suffers heart attack when Samantha calls Bill her father
The film's most dramatic shift occurs from the early comedy hijinks (8.0) down to the devastating family destruction and father's death revelation (4.5), a 3.5 point drop as the consequences become real.
Click begins as a typical Sandler comedy with creative remote control gags that reviewers genuinely enjoyed, but transforms into an unexpectedly emotional drama about the cost of prioritizing work over family. The film's bold tonal shift from comedy to heartbreak divided some critics but impressed many with its genuine emotion and meaningful message. The redemptive ending restored much of the goodwill, with reviewers appreciating the film's ultimately hopeful message about family priorities.
