updated: * adam sandler is looking like american moviegoers’ favorite comedian as his latest click scored his fifth $ 40 million + opening weekend today to become the nation’s no. 1 film. the sony comedy about a man whose tv remote turns into a life remote debuted with $ 40 mil at the box office. right now in hollywood there are very few actors working today that can generate that kind of audience drawing power. the studio’s exit polling showed sandler’s audience was 51% female and 49% male, while 50% were under age 25. sony and sandler, which have been a profitable box office pairing for some time now (big daddy, 50 first dates, mr. deeds, anger management), had their best ever opening in austrailia so click may be their broadest film with international moviegoers. (usually, u. s. - made comedies don’t translate to big box office overseas .) click is sony’s seventh # 1 film of 2006, unlike 2005 when much of the studio’s fare bombed with moviegoers .
adam sandler and this film' s producers were almost sued for plagiarism by scholastic, inc. when its plot was revealed and all too familiar. in 1995, eleven years prior to this film, the popular author r. l. stine wrote a very similar story in his
tales to give you goosebumps ,
with almost the exact same plot and set - up as this film, even down to both being titled
click .
no legal action was ever taken as both agreed to the entire situation being a coincidence. the irony is that both click (2006) and stine' s story can easily be based on the old french tale
the magic thread ,
where a boy is able to pull a thread to speed up the parts of his life he does not like and quickly finds himself an old man before being given a second chance .
the neighbors in the film are named the o' doyles, which is also the name of the family of bullies who always say

this movie is garbage and is not very funny the first and second act. so why am i giving this film a 80% out of 100% ? because the 3rd act of the whole film is the biggest moment in a film where i' ve cried, and for an adam sandler film, i really wasn' t expecting that. i genuinely don' t cry more than once in a film that often, but this film i cried 3 times in the last 22 minutes. now the acting is less than perfect (except for the fonz ,) and about 85% of the jokes in this film aren' t funny but the scenes where he pauses reality and hits someone and messes with them, i die of laughter. though the film does borrow very heavily from
it' s a wonderful life
at the end it doesn' t distract you at all when watching the film, and seeing how this film rips off the whole plot of
it' s a wonderful life ,
one of my top 10 favorite movies, and my favorite christmas movie ever, it is actually very well pulled off, and to me this is the mature and futuristic version of that film. its not nearly as good as it but it is good in its own right, and considering i hate sandler, that is saying a lot .
call back: to billy madison - this film also features a jerk ass ginger kid by the name of o' doyle .

adam sandler' s usual charm and antics of childish - humor and gags are displayed, but it takes a turn into the dramatic direction towards the end, which makes it hard to determined what kind of film this is. click has its laughs, its futuristic - technology - based layouts and even its somber tones. the amount of genre - blending makes it hard to say you can laugh or cry for this movie. regardless it makes for a fair sandler film .
yes something like that. it was awhile ago. much before click, and the way it was written made me think much earlier than the twilight zone, but i don' t know .
several future world events are mentioned by radio in the film as michael fastforwards through his life. two of these include michael jackson becoming the first human being to clone himself and britney spears having her twenty - third baby; the dates the film is set in the future span from 2017 to 2030 .

in 2006, however, the film was a commercial flop. it grossed less than $ 70 million, a huge loss for a film that cost $ 76 million to make. at oscar time, it was largely overlooked, earning three nominations but none for acting, directing, or for best picture. its studio, universal, never quite figured out how to sell it — an astoundingly bleak sci - fi picture devoid of fun gadgets or futuristic set design, in which julianne moore, the most marketable star, gets shot dead 28 minutes in. it debuted at the venice film festival on september 3, 2006, and received a standing ovation, but by the time it had its u. s. release on christmas day, the studio had opted to focus its late - season marketing resources on obvious oscar bait like united 93. for his part, cuarón, frustrated with the whole experience, retreated from public life and endured what he calls “the five most intense and difficult years of my life. ” he would eventually return to write and direct 2013’s massively successful gravity, but for a while, it seemed like children of men might have turned out to be the last alfonso cuarón feature film .

a prequel to the “purge” series, and the first set in the inner city, is a crude exploitation film that still manages to pack a timely punch .
the plot of the

is very reminiscent of the twilight zone episode

as an in - joke, the names of some of the crew members are visible on a few headstones at the graveyard scene near the end of the film .
although full to the brim with juvenile comedy such as the typical poor sandler - approved fart jokes and dogs humping things, i couldn' t help but find click to be a surprisingly enjoyable experience. there' s the occasional chuckle - worthy moment, and the film' s overall message rings true even if the story is practically nonsensical. there are much worse ways to spend two hours .
it' s so rare to come across a film that fully exploits its premise like this. about time comes to mind. and it' s even rarer to come across a great adam sandler film. punch drunk love comes to mind. he is clearly not lacking in acting skills; i think he just never declines a script .
this episode was better then i thought, being about a remote control that let you control things around you. the acting is very good and the story is well written. i give

he is best known for his role in the television series our friends in the north and guy ritchie films such as revolver rocknrolla, sherlock holmes, and the first kingsman film .
the movie click taught me that if i were to receive a remote like that to never use the skip feature. that was the only part that had a negative consequence. it also taught me that some sad movies can be disguised as comedies .
click brings up some very real problems about adult life but it answers them with hollywood platitudes... granted, it' s about having fun not trying to find solutions to the problems of modern existence, but it still seems a bit disingenuous .
in one part of populated andhra pradesh state in india today were unsuccessful when protesters under the banner of the christian united front ransacked a hyderabad multiplex and caused extensive property damage, forcing the management to suspend the film’s screening. the mob, carrying banners and placards describing the film as “devil’s code, ” barged in to the multiplex located near the hussain sagar lake in the heart of the city even as people eager to watch the movie were standing in line for the tickets of the first show. the activists even broke the prasad imax’s box office window (as opposed to breaking the box office record), so the film
excellent film, arrived in one piece! (well, two actually, if you want to count the case and disc separately !). prompt dispatch and delivery, great packaging, nothing to complain about !
during the scene where michael is walking out of the hospital after his heart attack at ben' s wedding, you can see circular patterns on the road surface where the film makers rain machines are being used .

adam sandler has turned his careless attention to family life with his new film ,
click .
with any luck this may mean that, after next tackling middle age and retirement, this comic actor, who has made a career out of variations on the modern man - child, might soon be headed toward the great big cinematic beyond, thereby putting an end to his attempts to broach a subject profoundly unsuited to his talents: adulthood .
didn’t have enough global moviegoers after finishing no. 1 overseas even after five weeks out, it hoped to add big numbers among another 75 million potential indians this weekend. that’s because a high court ok’d the film’s release in andhra pradesh, one of the states where the local government banned the religious thriller a day before its release. i’m told the studio had the film available in english and hindi there today. sony also is releasing

received “remarkable response” from filmgoers in qatar, according to newswire reports received from the halls where the picture was screened. so, gradually, sony is winning its censorship fight to have the film seen around the world. meanwhile ,
yeah, and how successful was that? another point is that remakes are made after the original film is 20 or more years old, not within the same decade! . what were talking about here is the exploitation of foreign films just to make an easy profit. the point of no return wasn' t a remake, it was just the americanized version of the original foreign film, just like the ring and the grudge were, among many others, not ripoffs .
click
is an episode of goosebumps starring dan warry - smith, trevor ralph, and tabitha lupien. when the remote control he ordered arrives, seth discovers that as well as electrical appliances, it can also control the world around him. however, this newfound control proves addictive, and soon seth is abusing it .
in the dvd audio commentary, director frank coraci states that the scene set in the past where adam sandler and kate beckinsale' s characters kiss for the first time was deliberately over light to look like a late 80s / early 90s film .
they also have a war of the worlds film, and even called it that. how in the * * * * did they get the rights for that... war of the worlds is public domain, just like the three musketeers .
the film' s premise was originated from a joke by writer steve koren. it was not until co - writer mark o' keefe' s girlfriend' s suggestion of turning it into a feature that the project got started off the ground .
on christmas day, 2006, a curious twist on the nativity debuted in a handful of movie theaters. directed and co - written by mexican auteur alfonso cuarón, children of men told the story of (decade - old spoiler alert) a near - future dystopia in which women are inexplicably unable to have babies — a state of affairs upended by the advent of a miraculous pregnancy. the film is set in the deteriorating cities and countryside of southeastern england — vividly rendered with alarming realism and minimal use of sci - fi futurism — amid geopolitical chaos that has led to a massive refugee crisis, which has in turn led an immigrant - fearing and authoritarian u. k. to close its borders to outsiders who seek its shores. terrorist attacks in european capitals are just routine items in the news crawl. the world stands on the brink, and no one has any clear idea of what can be done. the film, in hindsight, seems like a documentary about a future that, in 2016, finally arrived .
. early on in the movie, michael' s daughter samantha asks him how long he' s going to live and michael says a throwaway line
i' ll live to be 200, how about that ?

oddly enough, cuarón doesn’t seem interested in talking about the film’s critical reappraisal, nor in agreeing that it is more relevant now than it was in 2006. we met up 12 days after trump’s victory, and i expected him to be in full end - is - nigh mode, but he was relentlessly pleasant. he said he was not surprised that the atavistic rage of the brexiters and trumpists had overcome the weakening forces of centrist democracy. but most important, cuarón was, against all odds, confident that better days lie ahead. “i used to think that any solution would come from the paradigms that i know, ” he says. “now i think that the only thing is to think of the unimaginable. for the new generation, the unimaginable is not as unimaginable. ”
in the
first kiss flashback ,
jennifer coolidge' s character is seen wearing a shirt of the simpsons. julie kavner, who played trudy newman / michael' s mom in this film, provides the voice for marge simpson on the simpsons (1989) .
michael leaves to buy a universal remote just after he develops a cold, then skips his having it, but at the end of the film when he returns to bed, bath, & beyond, he doesn' t cough as he did when he was leaving .
this is a zany comedy of the usual adam sandler crazy comedy type thing but somewhere in this there is a message and the film although stays funny also hits the nail on the head about how we rush through our lives without though... well worth a watch !
the plot is similar to an episode of r. l. stine' s goosebumps (1995 - 1998) season 3, episode 5 titled
click
, in which a child orders a remote that controls not just the tv, but the world around him. not unlike sandler' s version of the story, the remote proves to be addictive and have dire consequences .

cuarón, however, is not feeling like taking an overdue victory lap. curled over a table in an upscale mexico city restaurant recently, the 55 - year - old director gets a little irritated when i laud the film’s imaginative prescience. “this thing was not imagination, ” he says, jabbing his index finger into the tablecloth. by cuarón’s estimation, anyone surprised at the accuracy of his movie’s predictions was either uninformed or willfully ignorant about the way the world already was by 2006. “people were talking about those things, just not in the mainstream! ” he says. he was reading about refugees, know - nothing reactionaries, and eerie disruptions in biological processes during the early ‘00s. if children of men can be said to have a message, cuarón encapsulates it: “what’s really relevant now, ” he tells me, “is to stop being complacent. ”
breasts are big, so to speak, in

when michael fast - forwards to what turns out to be a fairly dark future — it' s a wonderful life, not — he does a double take at the similarly bountiful profile of his now - adult daughter (katie cassidy) and orders her to put on a sweater, apparently as much for his sake as hers .
it' s not your typical adam sandler movie, because the dumb humour that is in his regular comedies is present, but the drama that surrounds the core story is way too good to ignore here. adam sandler steps up his game in and around his performance, and it shows by the conclusion. it may not be a breakthrough film in any way, but i highly enjoy the contrast of very stupid comedy, to the true - life events that happen in the end, which makes you really think about life .
click
is good in many ways, but there is still the un - even writing and dumb performances, like always. i really enjoy watching this movie !
the remake of psycho. yeah, and how successful was that? another point is that remakes are made after the original film is 20 or more years old, not within the same decade! . what were talking about here is the exploitation of foreign films just to make an easy profit .
the point of no return wasn' t a remake, it was just the americanized version of the original foreign film, just like the ring and the grudge were, among many others, not ripoffs. your going to have to spell out your rationality here because your just not making sense .
people need to get over the fact that fantastic four was trash and the incredibles was a modern classic. tim story thought he had the
original
material, but he still made a piece of garbage movie. that' s what i' m talking about. i said incredibles was a superior film, and therefor, fantastic four (the comics and the film) are inferior. the comics, especially now, are way inferior. the incredibles is a true family. fantastic four is not a family, it' s two guys, one of the guys girlfriend and her brother .
nominees chosen by their respective sag awards film and television nominating committees were announced on dec. 13, 2017. two nominating panels — one for television and one for film — each composed of 2, 500 randomly selected union members from across the united states, chose this year’s nominees. final voting information was sent to the 121, 544 sag - aftra members in good standing across the country. balloting closed at noon on friday, jan. 19. integrity voting systems, the awards' official election teller, sealed the results until they were announced live during the 24th annual screen actors guild awards .
i like how this film tries so hard to be a fantasy comedy, but the only fantastical moment within this is the fact that sandler somehow got kate beckinsale to marry him, and then sandler having the nerve to fast forward sex with her. i’m gay, but i wouldn’t do that to her .
i really love
click
. whether or not that story has been told before, it' s told really well in that movie. it has a very low rating on rotten tomatoes, and a bunch of the negative reviews say
i thought it was supposed to be a comedy, but it made me cry !
doesn' t that mean it' s a good movie you get emotionally attached to ?
click is a very watchable and unusual film. i was surprised how non - terrible it was. without spoiling the plot, it takes a surprisingly dark turn almost exactly half - way through, making this a very unusual hollywood comedy. adam sandler is mildly annoying, especially when his character (supposedly a top architect) resorts to' hilarious' toilet humour, but it' s less awful than you might expect. christopher walken is fantastically weird as a shop assistant / mad scientist / mysterious antagonist, and kate beckinsale is super as sandler' s exasperated and wife. some of the special effects are already looking a bit dated, but the make - up and prosthetics are brilliant, and were rightly nominated for an oscar .

only took me 3 years to finally get around to seeing this movie. in the end i was entertained and loved the intrigue, the fact that the church got all upset over this book just makes it worth it more. an all star cast kept the film going and ron howard as always gave me a solid show .

but
click
stays resolutely at level 1 - - the tiresome explication of the basic premise. once we get the idea, there are no more surprises, only variations on the first one .
frank coraci' s
click
is exemplary of the mid - level adam sandler comedy. it combines heart with juvenile gags and jokes that must bring the happy madison writer' s room to its knees. never offensive, though never sophisticated, these comedies provide enough laughs to make them endearing .
cilck
begins to take a turn into heavier, more literary territory, but it resists the pull of becoming something more interesting than the mid - level sandler vehicle that it is .
have any of you seen the new adam sandler movie, click? if you haven' t, it' s about a guy who gets a super - powered remote control with which he can speed up or rewind his life. sounds like a wild idea, huh? well, what you probably don' t know is that in the 90' s there was a tv series called
weird science
which was based off the 80' s movie of the same name, and in one of the episodes, one of the two main characters gets a remote that can speed up time, reverse it, etc. he originally finds its a great way to skip by the boring parts in life and finds other ways to use it to his advantage, but eventually he realizes he missed to much and has to fix thing... just like in the new sandler film. so basically, in hollywood, its only plagerism if the idea your stealing is still fresh in everyone' s memory. the film
cars
may also be a good example of this, because it features a plot very similar to an early 90' s michael j. fox film ,
doc hollywood .
the plot outline is virtually the same... big city hotshot gets into a car accident in a hicktown in the middle of nowhere, gets sentenced to do community service by the judge, falls for the hometown girl, learns some lessons on life, etc. just replace marty mcfly with a racecar and there' s your movie. have you noticed any blantant ripping off in any recent movies ?
eric lamansoff is mentioned in this film .
eric lamansoff
is also the name of kevin james' s character grown ups (2010) and grown ups 2 (2013), where adam sandler also starred in. the name is also mentioned in the wedding singer (1998). also, ludlow lamonsoff is the name of josh gad' s character in pixels (2015) .
post - azkaban, universal was suddenly more willing to play ball. cuarón met with studio chair stacey snider, who, in cuarón’s recollection, told him, “i don’t understand this film, i have no idea what you want to do, but go ahead and do it. ” it got the green light in 2005, and cuarón mapped out a plan of aesthetic attack. he recruited his longtime friend and frequent partner emmanuel “chivo” lubezki to be his cinematographer. together, they hit on the idea of loading up the background with information — graffiti, placards, newscasts — and thus limiting the kind of expository dialogue that often plagues dystopian stories. cuarón recalls lubezki declaring, “we cannot allow one single frame of this film to go without a comment on the state of things. ”
where did the old adam sandler go? i' m not complaining mind you. i never really liked the fire breathing, short - fused sandler and it seems that with every new movie i like him even more. i went to see click expecting it to be some flash - in - the - pan comedy... but it was much better. the funny jokes weren' t a result of sandler' s screaming, but of plot development. the especially sad part of the movie was fantastic and showed a completely different side of sandler. the only problem i saw with the movie... they didn' t develop christopher walken' s and nick swardson' s characters enough. what little parts they had were great, though, and i recommend it for anyone who doesn' t over analyze movies. it' s a well - spent two hours, and you' ll enjoy the film .
they also have a war of the worlds film, and even called it that. how in the * * * * did they get the rights for that... well to be fair, someone other than spielberg and co. did have the rights to make the movie first but it was going to end up straight to video. i don' t think it was this studio though .
quentin has admitted that he steals from every movie he' s ever seen. another one that reservoir dogs is close to is asphalt jungle. i think he admits that now because he got caught lol. when reservoir dogs came out he got a lot of credit for it and tried to play dumb when someone called him out on the similarities to city on fire which was a very obscure hk film .

that' s what i' m talking about. i said incredibles was a superior film, and therefor, fantastic four (the comics and the film) are inferior. the comics, especially now, are way inferior. the incredibles is a true family. fantastic four is not a family, it' s two guys, one of the guys girlfriend and her brother. right: the incredibles = nuclear family f4 = extended family also, fantastic four does not have a patent over a family of super heroes or the super powers. speedsters have been around forever. invisibility, super strength, stretching. fantastic four did not create these things. tim story and ignorant fanboys should stop acting like they did. also, artists constantly copy or
take inspiration
from other artists. this is nothing new. i don' t see anyone * * * * * ing about quentin tarantino .
this is one of adam sandlers better films of later years. i preferred his earlier stuff like happy gilmore or big daddy but click seemed to be up there with them. it is a nice story about putting your family and loved ones first in life. i would compare the story to charles dickens' a christmas carol'. the story basically is adam sandler gets given a remote control from christopher walken and he can use this remote for general life, for example he can pause and fast forward time. a clever well thought out story that will have you laughing and crying but afterwards feeling refreshed and satisfied .
have any of you seen the new adam sandler movie, click? if you haven' t, it' s about a guy who gets a super - powered remote control with which he can speed up or rewind his life. sounds like a wild idea, huh? well, what you probably don' t know is that in the 90' s there was a tv series called

which was based off the 80' s movie of the same name, and in one of the episodes, one of the two main characters gets a remote that can speed up time, reverse it, etc. he originally finds its a great way to skip by the boring parts in life and finds other ways to use it to his advantage, but eventually he realizes he missed to much and has to fix thing... just like in the new sandler film. so basically, in hollywood, its only plagerism if the idea your stealing is still fresh in everyone' s memory. the film
cars
may also be a good example of this, because it features a plot very similar to an early 90' s michael j. fox film ,
doc hollywood .
the plot outline is virtually the same... big city hotshot gets into a car accident in a hicktown in the middle of nowhere, gets sentenced to do community service by the judge, falls for the hometown girl, learns some lessons on life, etc. just replace marty mcfly with a racecar and there' s your movie. have you noticed any blantant ripping off in any recent movies? there´s an old outer limits episode where two aliens keep going back to a singular moment and treat it like a remote control: fast - forward, slow down, reverse, etc. on the subject, there´s an episode of the eighties twilight zone remake where a woman finds out everything is a virtual reality program and people are kept in cocoons ...

the hero chance has spent all of his life watching television. when he wanders out to freedom and is threatened on the street, he clicks a tv remote control to get another channel. in
click ,
sandler plays michael, an architect who is given a universal remote that' s truly universal. with it, he can take control of his life: freeze a scene, fast - forward, reverse, mute the sound, select the chapters of his choice and even witness his parents at the moment of his conception (that' s, of course, in the
making of
documentary) .
they also came close to having another artistic collaborator: the infamously anonymous street artist banksy. “banksy was not yet the famous banksy that he is now, and i dug him, ” cuarón says. he wanted to have the graffiti artist work on the film in some way, so he tracked down banksy’s manager and arranged a meeting at a coffee shop. cuarón sat across from the manager, who started grilling the director on his ideological stances. banksy was nowhere to be seen. the meeting ended without resolution. only after it was over did a person nearby excitedly tell cuarón that a silent figure had walked in during the meeting and placed himself behind cuarón the whole time, hidden from view, then left before cuarón could turn around. cuaron suspects it was banksy — who didn’t sign on for the film but reportedly gave permission through his manager to use one of his works, a stencil of two cops smooching, in the background of one of the shots .

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 humour, click won' t disappoint sandler' s established fan base, and its us $ 40 million opening weekend offered ample proof that sandler' s box - office clout remains remarkably consistent. - - jeff shannon
many people might see this episode of goosebumps and say
hey, this is very much like that adam sandler movie called click
and they' d be right. now, before the writer of this goosebumps episode starts thinking lawsuits, let' s consider something else. the plot of the
click
is very reminiscent of the twilight zone episode
a kind of stopwatch
. even the denouement is parallel, where the world is on pause for eternity because the mechanism breaks. now, they didn' t have universal remote controls in the 1950s but if they did, i' m sure rod serling and gang would have made the best of this device. even now, imo, the twilight zone version is the superior production. while my kids were growing up in the 1990s and i watched the goosebumps episodes with them, i started to compile a list of episodes that were basically new versions of classic twilight zone episodes. one that was very popular was called night of the living dummy that seemed to have been based on spooky the dummy with cliff robertson. i hope the kids that were brought up on goosebumps will overcome their black and white prejudices and check out some of the old twilight zone episodes in syndication or on dvd and see what kind of high quality television there was in the 1950s and 1960s. maybe someone will even say
hey, they ripped off goosebumps !
don' t you have anything original? not yet. as i' m not a regular in the movies section i don' t know what is original and what isn' t. why are you jumping on me? mr. fantastic ripped off plastic man and all the other stretchy characters. yeah i' ll accept plastic man for reed. i didn' t mention this in favour of f4 though. the point is the incredibles is the film that ripped everything else off. iceman, sue storm etc .
that tempestuousness manifested itself early on, when the real world tragically and eerily burst into the world of the film. a few weeks before they shot the first scene, in which a terrorist bomb blows up on fleet street and nearly kills theo, real - life islamist radicals detonated four bombs across london on july 7, 2005, killing 52 and wounding nearly 800. the government reluctantly honored its existing agreement to let the children of men crew film the scene, but there was no way it was going to grant them more than a day to do it. that day was, thanks to cuarón, chaotic. “it’s a sunday morning, it’s about 6 a. m. , and alfonso has already said, ‘we’re not shooting today, ’ ” newman recalls. “i said, ‘why not? ’ and he said, ‘well, look at the cars! ’ ” they were all new - looking models, which cuarón found unacceptable for his worn - down dystopia. they needed damage. he walked up to one of them and reared back .
when the september 11 attacks occurred, cuarón was in canada screening y tu mamá también at the toronto film festival alongside its boyish stars, gael garcía bernal and diego luna. after air travel was suspended, “we were stranded for three or four days, and i was talking with gael, i remember, and thinking about what’s going to happen, trying to understand what was going to shape this new century, ” cuarón recalls. one cataclysmic event had tilted the world off its axis, and chaos loomed. that weird tale about global infertility lit up in his brain .
