DANGER! ADAM SANDLER! AVOID! AVOID!!!

YARR SPOILERS BE HERE!!

I'm a fan of Adam Sandler, because I'm a white male between the age of 13-21, and most fart jokes amuse me. All that aside I quite liked the movie and despite its tacky message and predictable ending, I cried, I cried for fuck sake. I thought it was very moving and thought that it would have been better if the ending was just him dying.
Plenty of laughs in there though, even for the cynic.

Inlander · « **Reply #5 on:** 03 Jul 2006, 01:19 »

Bah! I cried and laughed plenty when I saw Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles, and I didn't have to put up with no Adam Sandler either.

Ok so let me guess, his life is complicated and falling apart. He cant even get the TV going, so he goes to some radioshack esq place to get a universal remote that is a metafor for how complicated life is and how we are all searching for a universal solution to its complications. He's given the remote by some kooky guy working in said Radioshack esq store. Adam Sandler's char then abuses this power he's given and towards the middle of the movie things seem like they are going all good then everything falls apart almost all at once and is worse than ever before. He learns his lesson and tries to give back the remote, BUT NO! Kooky Radioshack guy doesn't want it back, he knows its a curse, you shouldn't be playing god, life is all about the complications and take those away it falls apart. So eventually Adam Sandler learns his lesson, he cant be god. So he gets rid of the remote then sets to systematically fixing his life and eventually gets his job back that he may have lost, or at least a promotion. He gets back with his girlfriend, or because of the point is Adam Sandler's career, wife. And unalienates his kids, if he has any and generally becomes a better person. Kooky radioshack guy either then accepts the remote back, or he or even Adam Sandler are seen giving the remote to someone else. Or wait, an open ending, an Adam Sandler esq char, finds the remote while going through the same sort of crisis Adam Sandler was going through then cut to credits.

Am I right?

I predict Adam Sandler's next movie will involve swapping bodies with his teenage son.

How Freaky that it hasn't been done before. You know, I was planning on seeing this movie on Friday, but I decided to take a nap and dream about paint instead. I liked the part where it dried.

Grant · « **Reply #18 on:** 05 Jul 2006, 02:55 »

I liked the movie...it was touching and a reminder of what is important in life.

I will admit I cried during it also.

With that being said...it really wasn't that funny and probably would have been better as a drama or with out Sandler.

Atrocity Exhibition · « **Reply #19 on:** 05 Jul 2006, 12:19 »

you're seriously suggesting that "Click" would hold up as a drama?

Grant · « **Reply #20 on:** 05 Jul 2006, 16:54 »

Better than it did as a comedy.

Atrocity Exhibition · « **Reply #21 on:** 05 Jul 2006, 21:18 »

how about we just ditch the whole "zany" plotline and make a GOOD movie?

GebStar · « **Reply #22 on:** 06 Jul 2006, 07:02 »

It wasn't even really a "zany" plot line.
It was simple, tacky, predictable but most of all fun. It had a whole bunch of tacky predictable fun, noone is going to give Adam Sandler an academy award for this, but it's a fun movie that doesn't take itself TOO seriously. Those who watch it should also not take it seriously. Go laugh, go "awwww" and have a nice time looking at the hotness that is the chick who plays his wife.

Gryff · « **Reply #23 on:** 06 Jul 2006, 14:55 »

My problem was that I was taking a movie about a man who has a remote control that can alter time too seriously.

Merkava · « **Reply #24 on:** 06 Jul 2006, 15:08 »

How can anyone call this plot "zany"? It's like the time when everyone got mad at me for spoiling the end of King Kong. I feel like people aren't as exposed as they should be.

This plot has been done before, hasn't it? Not that I'm complaining at all. You know, the concept could hold up as a good drama. If you have imagination, you can turn it into something really touching.

No, really. I'm not kidding.

Gryff · « **Reply #25 on:** 06 Jul 2006, 15:32 »

Guys I've got this great idea for a movie. A ragtag sports team of miscreants and losers enters a tournament of some sort. They get horribly beaten in their first game, but as the tournament continues they get better and better and they learn the value of teamwork and friendship. The team become the unexpected success of the tournament and in the final game they have to play the team that beat them so badly in the first game. But their star player is missing/injured! At first it seems that they will be beaten, but then the star player makes a miraculous return/recovery and scores the winning goal/points/whatever in the dying seconds of the game (in slow motion).

What do you think?

Garcin · « **Reply #26 on:** 06 Jul 2006, 15:34 »

I think that sounds like the perfect role for Adam Sandler. We'll make millions with this script!

Gryff · « **Reply #27 on:** 06 Jul 2006, 15:53 »

We'll get Christopher Walken or Steve Buscemi to play some kind of peripheral role, and a generic young starlet to play the love interest -- one of those ones named Kate will do. Hell, let's get Rob Schneider and Henry Winkler to do cameos, and get some of those guys from American Pie in there too.

It'll be great!

It's A Wonderful Life for the writer of such an incredible movie. or something.

it was also a plot in that old Goosebumps show, the whole universal remote control thing.

Merkava · « **Reply #30 on:** 08 Jul 2006, 18:56 »

The post was referring to the post before it and the bolded parts should come together to form Freaky Friday, a movie (2 movies, really) that had the plot line of switching bodies with a son/daughter.

mookers · « **Reply #31 on:** 08 Jul 2006, 23:29 »

oh i see, i must have scanned over that.

i noticed Freaky Friday and i was mimicking your style, cause i thought you were making a sarcastic remark about the generic plotline of Click, you know, seeing life from another point of view and learning some valuable life lessons. i was just addin' on to your joke, you know, adding on to it by comparing the movie to It's A Wonderful Life the same way as you were comparing it to Freaky Friday.

well i'm not good at forums. hah.
i shouldn't need a paragraph to explain my joke.

unless you didn't recognize It's a Wonderful Life as a movie title.. classic old flick starring Jimmy Stewart.

Inlander · « **Reply #32 on:** 09 Jul 2006, 06:44 »

For the record, my post, to which Merkava's was apparently a (once-removed) response, was itself in response to est's post about the concept of Click being a rather '80s-style one. I recall the '80s being particularly rife with body-swapping and/or changing movies (Vice Versa, 18 Again!, Like Father, Like Son, Big . . .).

Man, I'm confused.

I actually agree that it could be a good dramatic plot, if done in a Darren Aronofsky or Charlie Kaufman-esque style.

Lise · « **Reply #35 on:** 14 Jul 2006, 13:25 »

I avoided watching this one with the boyfriend. He later came back to tell me that it was "damn @@@@ing good" and that he "almost cried."

I mean, I can appreciate Adam Sandler when in the appropriate mood, but Click just isn't the "grand-moving picture" for me.

It's just too cliched. As some of you have predicted the plot, so have I.

Uh-Oh · « **Reply #36 on:** 14 Jul 2006, 23:43 »

The original concept in Clic is present in an old european folk tale (can't remember from where and when... Germany, 1800-1900??).

Instead of a remote, the kid in the story is given a ball of yarn (from an old-woman of some sorts), and the thread is his lifeline. When he pulls it, he goes forward in time. Fun at first, to avoid homework and what not, but .... Oh noes! he skips too much. Things are going too fast, hes missing all the good stuff. Lesson learned.

Yeah.... Sandler just stole a childrend bed-time story and made millions.. .

P.S. Haven't seen the movie yet, so I might end up liking it, which I doubt, but ya never know.

JLM · « **Reply #37 on:** 15 Jul 2006, 19:55 »

"Okay, like, Adam Sandler, goes back in time, and then forward again, and like, learns some type of lesson about the value of roots, or something?"
