Klick

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. (11.08.2007)

Lots of ideas at the beginning and slightly clumsy moralizing at the end. Surprisingly, Adam Sandler goes all in and is skillfully supported by the divine Sean Astin. On the other hand, Kate Beckinsale fulfills the role of a decorative accessory. However, all the life lessons wouldn't bother me as much if it weren't for the key scene in the rain, which instead of evoking sorrow, brought a wide smile to my face due to its ineffectiveness, and the dogs constantly circling the stuffed animal don't seem funny to me either. Given the great concept, it's ultimately a sadly wasted opportunity. (15.11.2006)

The first half is a typical Sandler movie with all the trimmings. The jokes about jumps in time + the “bonus" function on the remote control + out-talking the neighbor’s brat (to tell the truth, I enjoyed that bit the most:-). While the second half is a sad to touching drama about life. Despite everything, the second half is predictable and simple, but is touching mainly thanks to Sandler’s excellent performance. Plus, Kate Beckinsale’s amazing body drives me crazy ;-). After a repeat screening, I raise it to a 5. (18.01.2007)

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% (12.05.2018)

Eher eine 3,5*, wäre es nicht für diese billigen "Sandlar-Witze" wie Furzen und Treten in den Schritt. Im Vergleich zu seiner allgemeinen Klischeehaftigkeit eine riesige Überraschung in Form eines (fast) tragischen und erschreckend depressiven Endes. Eine liebevolle nostalgische Erinnerung an Zeitreisefilme der 80er Jahre. (20.02.2011)

Auf den ersten Blick hat mir Klick so gut gefallen, dass ich ihn sehr bald noch einmal gesehen habe, der Eindruck war noch einmal so positiv. Jeder von uns denkt ab und zu darüber nach, wie es wäre, wenn man die Möglichkeit hätte, die Zeit zu beherrschen. Zweifelsohne wäre er primäre Effekt günstig, doch die unerwünschten Nebenwirkungen würden sich sehr bald einstellen, ebenso wie bei der Hauptfigur gespielt von Adam Sandler. Ein weiterer aus der Reihe von hervorragenden Sandler-Filmen, die in meinem persönlichen Ranking sehr weit oben stehen. Familie geht über alles... (14.04.2007)

Sandler's irony and sarcasm works. Agitprop on the importance of family does not. Plus, I can't stand movies with cute American (or any other, after all) brats. (28.02.2010)

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. (13.08.2012)

Well. It's a bit crazy, the ending is poorly executed and clichéd, but I still like how Adam Sandler conveys various moral values in his own style. This guy just clicks with me and probably nothing he films can change my opinion. "Click" has a lot of weak spots, but there are still moments where I laughed. (21.05.2014)
