Can You Do Have The Doug Reviews Of The Suicide Squad (2021) Coming In The Next Week Please Channel Awesome Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss OK
It was great and awesome! Can you review Escape from Tomorrow, Escape from Cluster Prime, The Ultimate Enemy (Danny Phantom), iGo to Japan, iParty with Victorious, and Spongebob movies? :)
Another fun fact about this film: In 1995, R.L. Stine wrote a very similar story in his "Tales To Give You Goosebumps", with almost the same plot and set-up, even down to the title, "Click". Scholastic, Inc. almost sued Adam Sandler and this film's producers for plagiarism. Both parties agreed the entire situation was a coincidence, so no legal action was ever taken. Both stories could easily be based on the old French tale "The Magic Thread", in which a boy is able to pull a thread to speed up the parts of his life he doesn't like. He quickly finds himself an old man before being given a second chance.
thank you! I've always wanted another version of this idea that wasn't made by Sandler, and you, my beautiful fellow, are telling me RL Stine did it too???
The scene with the last time he saw his dad was emotional for a very good reason: His real life father actually had passed away not too long before this. That was Adam breaking character.
Adam's father, Stan (the guy who says "Terrific!" on the Happy Madison logo, and the subject of his song "Stan the Man") passed away in 2003, 3 years before "Click"'s release.
The scene when Adam Sandler saw his father the last time was the most powerful part of the movie. To me this was proof long before Uncut Gems that Adam Sandler could do Drama and could make you feel emotions if the script was right.
The third act NEVER EVER fails to make me cry. All that is from Sandler who really is a great dramatic actor. I hope Sandler goes the route of Tom Hanks, Robin Williams and Bill Murray - Great comedic actors who have serious dramatic acting chops!
I have to be honest, I would like to see Adam’s wife, Jackie, give a shot at drama. She encouraged Adam to take his role in Uncut Gems. I don’t see why Adam wouldn’t support her if she was given an opportunity for a dramatic role
21:00 the reason Sandlers acting here is so good is cause his father literally died a week before this scene was shot. Sandler is actually breaking down and crying in this scene cause he is thinking of his own recently passed away father.
@@CaptainWaldoe Im not saying he's discrediting Adam Sandler but just correcting the comment. 50 First Dates was dedicated to Adam's father. But I also believe, that scene made him remember his Dad which made it extremely organic. Allowing him to say goodbye through the movie.
This and Marley & Me definitely take the place as films that mislead me into thinking they’d be fun comedies as a kid when they get more depressing near the third act .
Seriously I thought this movie would just a fun comedy with nothing dramatic. Or the usual Sandler stupidity. I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THE LAST PART!!!!!!!!
22:18 Death isn't evil, malignant, or vindictive. The role of Death is to make mortals appreciate life. I think it fits the part far better than you realize.
This. I don’t know how critic missed it, because he even makes an “Ebenezer Scrooge/ Christmas movie” joke (I’m doubling your salary!), but doesn’t draw a comparison between Morty (Morte = Death) and the Ghost of Christmas Future, who is also Death. Morty isn’t lying about who he is; this is his Modus Operandi.
Not to mention I can oddly buy Walken as Death. Awkward sense of humor probably used as a coping mechanism for his macabre work, friendly but intimidating when he needs to be, yeah
Except at the end, Morty seems to be trying to tempt Michael into making the same mistakes over again. Given that both God and the Devil have been known to put humans to the test, it's anyone's guess who Morty's boss is.
For me personally. This was an unintentional Horror movie that scared me for ages. No truer fear than your own death and your life flying past faster than you can keep up
I remember seeing this movie with some friends when it came out, we were all in our early 20's. I said that if I had that remote, I'd absolutely fast forward through years or even decades of my life, losing my family and everyone who mattered to me, if it meant I'd be a rich CEO in the end. My friends all said that I was crazy and that they wouldn't make that sacrifice because family and happiness was more important than money. It's now nearly 20 years later and they're all not only doing financially better than me, but have families and relationships, which I don't have. I'm not sure what my point is, but I find the irony too hilarious not to mention.
I think Walken being the Angel of Death makes some sense. Foreshadowing-wise, he's obviously supernatural from the get-go (though the AoD hanging out in a Bed Bath and Beyond seems like a prediction nowadays) and his name is Mortie, "morti/mors" being Latin for "death" Plus it fits in, too, at the end when he tells Sandler he doesn't have to die here just to let his son know not to make the same mistakes he did. (An angel telling you that is one thing. Hearing it from the Reaper* himself is another). As far as them being friends at the end, I think he was always acting in good faith since he gave everything back once Sandler learned his lesson and accepted it was the path he chose that led him to where he was. *I just realized that writing this. Walken is a Reaper you don't have to fear. Wonder if that's intended as an SNL reference.
He also seems to get more and more aggressive the more Sandler forgets what’s important and starts wasting his life on his job instead of what would make him genuinely happy
It’s pretty insane how this started out as a typical Adam Sandler comedy than went completely 180 and became a drama with a great lesson. That completely caught me off guard when I first saw this.
My college professor laughed at me in front of the whole class and acted like I was completely out of line when I told him this movie made me cry when I was younger, as if I was totally insane to say that Henry winkler and Adam Sandler could have serious heart felt moments.
Honestly, the scene where Sandler witnesses his last memory of his father is one of my favourite scenes in a movie ever. Granted alot of it is for personal reasons but something about Sandler looking at himself in shame as he is rewinding his fathers last words to him is just fucking heart breaking, and its all sold through some phenomenal acting. Shame such an amzing scene is in such a bad movie.
Yes I saw this movie when I was little. Holds a special place in my heart. Makes me almost tear up to this day. I myself wouldn't consider it bad, more just mid.
I have formed my own opinion and I think the movie is kinda bad, and I really couldn't care less if my opinion lines up with others. if you love the movie then great im glad you can enjoy it but personally while there are some great things in this movie its comedy isnt exactly funny and keeps me from liking the movie.
It's the moment when the father walks away & is out of sight of Sandler & his son that always gets me. When he drops his brave face & starts bawling. That always wrecks me.
Him screaming after his son after leaving the hospital terrified and moved me as a kid watching this. Not sure how I felt about the rest of it but that was a resonant moment for sure.
It's the way he can barely even muster the strength to say Ben's name at first. He uses the little energy he has left to get as close to Ben as possible before slamming down on the ground and screaming his name. Even squeezing out the extra syllables of his full name Benjamin in the hope that he might not miss him before he departs from life and Ben departs him without maybe ever fully appreciating that family DOES come first. Made me cry then at 11 years old and is making me cry now turning 30.
I think the reason the ending parts of Click hit so hard is because it's all fun and games until you ruin your life. You see all the slow motion tits and fart jokes, but then at the end it's like "Oh."
That unfortunately I think turned away people that aren't into Sandler's childish comedy. The trailer made it seem very typical. I rented this movie from Redbox way back in the day out of boredom, and like you said, the drama caught me completely off guard. Really though, the Sandler moments aren't that bad.
I have a soft spot for Click. It had some funny moments but also had some emotional moments showing the talent Sandler had deep down for both comedic and dramatic roles in movies. Despite the typical immature humor, some of it made me laugh. It did well trying to find the balance of being lighthearted and dramatic. As I said, I did like most of the jokes. I don’t care much about the low brow humor. Especially the moments with Christopher Walken
I loved how this movie started like just another Sandler's movie but then it turns to be a drama movie but the jokes felt to me better with the drama in order to break the tension my favorite was when Adam gave the middle finger to the sepdad
@@magallanesagustin4952 True, but I still wished it balanced out the comedy and drama better. A similar film such as Bruce Almighty I felt balanced the comedy and drama better, even when it got serious it didn’t feel like a completely different film. Click however went from a goofy Sandler film to a morbidly depressing one, and did it way too fast. Felt like an entirely different film. IDK, I don’t hate the film but as I said the tone just felt too inconsistent.
@@Juber777 True, except a film like Click has fantasy elements, it’s not real life overall. At times in films, I don’t need to be reminded when life gets bad. Films are overall meant to be an escape.
7:03 don't forget, he also stole literally the movie's entire concept from a goosebumps episode that had a young boy get a magic remote control that could rewind, fast forward, pause, etc. his life, told how it works by a shady guy in a wearhouse, and ends up screwing his life with the remote. Also that goosebumps episode is literally called Click.
One more fact about this film that is ok: The "Jogger with Giant Boobies" was played by Ukrainian model, dancer and singer Ireesha. She was the choreographer for the National Olympic Team of Ukraine in Rhythmic Gymnastics for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and all major World Cup and Champions, this explains why she was jogging. The character also appears in Epic Movie (2007), parodied by Russian stand-up comedian, actress, and model Irina Voronina who is also Ireesha's doppelganger.
This movie taught me that you have to suffer through your bad moments to enjoy the good ones, there is no fast forward in life but there's always something better waiting for you in the next chapter
It has been many years since I watched this movie. And what I thought back then is still the same as today: The Plot is the same as A Christmas Carol. Think about it. Adam uses the remote to go back in time to witness his prom with his future wife. (Ghost of Christmas past.) He uses the pause feature to enjoy and examine his current life. (Ghost of Christmas present.) And he missuses the Autopilot feature to travel to the future. (Ghost of Christmas future.) And yes! The Nostalgia critic got it when he made a Christmas Joke while Adam Sandler wakes up from that display bed and runs back to his blue car. The plot points of this movie are only remixes of what Charles Dickens had already made up.
Adam Sandler saying "family" as his last words to his family is a powerful enough scene for me to even consider those being my last words to my family... unexpected powerful third act indeed.
Not everyone is going to appreciate the humor in Click as it is very crass and sophomoric. Having said that, once you get past the humor, the emotional scenes in the third act really pack a whollup, thus making this movie one of Sandler’s most underrated classics in my opinion. Even the Lucky Charms scene has some deep philosophical truths to it. Morty is basically saying that not everything you pursue will bring you the fulfillment that you expect. If anything, it will leave you dry and wanting more.
I've always said that Adam Sandler is much better at drama than he is at comedy. Hustle, Uncut Gems, and the serious moments in this movie are proof of that.
I was watching this movie with my Dad several years ago....I actually began to tear up at the end...and my Dad gave me a hug. It's a weird, funny, happy movie.
Take a look at Bicentennial Man (1999). Not only you will enjoy one of the best movies ever made, but you will also realize how much you can really cry. Oh, and it's fun as hell.
Jake Hoffman is just terrific as Michael's son. He's only at the final part of the movie but you can tell he was always with his dad even though he was aware his decisions were killing him.
There are two Happy Madison movies that have made me legit cry. Tears and all. This and 8 crazy nights. I'm not ashamed to say Click actually made me cry. That last part with the father and him about to die with his family surrounding him really got to me. NGL
I remember first seeing “8 Crazy Nights” as a kid and being legitimately moved by it, it might have been the first movie I saw where I consciously recognized the emotional heft. Sandler has such a strange ability to do that while still being wildly juvenile and I can’t think of anyone else who makes movies like his. Credit where it is due, good or ill, Happy Madison makes strangely unique movies.
Click is certainly a memorable Adam Sandler story. It has a few good deep moments and has certainly made me smile and cry a few times while watching it. The dog & Duck jokes are a little over done but I can respect that they wanted to have a fun running gag in between the serious and emotional scenes and the more serious humor. Good job on your review! Your dark humor helps add to the thrill of diving into this amazing film!
You know for what it's worth for how his decade was going i'm glad he made this movie to show that he still had potential and could be still a really good actor
"Lucky's always chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but when he gets there it's just cornflakes." This is probably the best moral this movie will give you.
@@DennisTheZZZ The message I got from it was that you shouldn't spend your life chasing something, because when you finally attain it it might not be everything you thought it would be and now you're at the end. Instead of chasing, try slowing down to a walk and enjoy the ride a little
i honestly dont mind the jokes because the last third is so depressing. The jokes hit a lil harder and it also makes every moment he's on autopilot a LOT more depressing. I cant help but imagine what the other people's perspective of Michael was when he's on autopilot most of the time and then has these sudden brief moments of clarity where he's so confused and asking why so many things have changed.
I find this to be an underrated Sandler flick, aside from some scenes which go a bit too far, but the ending always gets me to tears. Plus I have a soft spot for it as it came out when I was 8. Watched it recently and I actually liked a lot of the story aspects. I’m hoping Critic does You Don’t Mess with the Zohan next or even The Benchwarmers, as I find them underrated too.
Honestly Robin Williams should’ve been cast for this movie instead of Sandler. Robin’s actually good at making people of all ages laugh, while Sandler’s good at making kids laugh and parents roll their eyes. I rate this movie 6/10, it’s pretty good. But the biggest problem with this movie is Adam Sandler himself, he’s just not that convincing in this role and I could see other actors doing a better job
I remember watching this cause there was nothing better to watch on TV, and I was shocked that the last third made me care so much about Sandler's character and his family. So I would say that it is worth watching, if only to experience the emotional whiplash.
I feel that this is a very under-appreciated Adam Sandler comedy. Sure, yes, it does fall under some very similar tropes as his other comedies, but this film really knew how to effectively hit the emotional moments as well. I still cry while watching the third act of this film even though I’ve seen it a bunch of times. I’m glad you got around to reviewing this.
Imagine me always only seeing the cover of this movie, reading about all the fun Sandler has with this life remote... and then when I finally see it on TV I walk in on the scene with the old father and the coin trick near the end. Talk about emotional whiplash for a movie I thought was gonna be a comedy the whole way through.
This movie was one of the few times I saw my father cry. This is also one of Sandler's best movies because it's nostalgic, hilarious as fuck, AND depressing as fuck.
True, but everyone will interpret a different message. My friends took the message that family is more important than money. I took the message that money is more important than anything, because I saw the time when he was the CEO, worth millions of dollars, as the thing to aspire to. The ironic thing is, they're all doing better than me not just in the family and relationship side of things, but the financial and career side too. Funny how life goes.
I see where Doug's coming from, but I think this is one of Adam Sandler's best films. His range is off the charts. Yeah, a lot of the jokes haven't aged well, but I agree with him about the third act. Rarely have I seen a film that both makes you roll your eyes & groan in pure, second hand embarrassment to balling your eyes out in genuine tears of sadness.
There's always been a unique vibe with Adam Sandler (Happy Madison) films. It's fitting for this channel to review because what these films are is simply Pure Nostalgia. The third act hits hard because of the stupid jokes prior. The scene with the dad comes out of left field in the best and saddest way possible. And as most of us have grown up, this film doesn't just make us cry because of the third act, but also because of the memories we had watching it years ago. And for that reason, despite all the crappy jokes, it holds a special place in our hearts. ❤️
(22:28) Rest In Peace Dolores O'Riordan 😔🕊 Fun Fact: she was born on September 6, 1971, so if this scene is suppose to take place in 2030 or 2031 she’s supposed to be around 59 or 60 years old in this scene
This got film got weirdly depressing and existentialist at the end. I was a kid when this film first came out and I first saw this, I only watched action movies and comedies at the time, I actually teared up a little at the end...
This is one of my more favorite Adam Sandler movies. yes it has it's groaner moments like all of his films does but it has some funny moments as well along with a good message. Also, you cannot lie and say that that rain scene didn't at least choke you up a bit
I remember watching this a few days after a really bad break up and MY GOD I CRIED MY BALLS OFF when the father tells he loves him. Who knew back then Sandler could actually pull off very good dramatic performances.
This is a weird movie, it’s first two acts are a crappy Adam Sandler comedy but then takes a 180 in it’s 3rd act, becomes really good and actually had me in tears, it almost feels like a completely different director came in.
I'm not sure about that. I've always felt that when dark films have goofy scenes in them, that somehow makes them even darker - nihilistic, even. Besides that, the Nostalgia Critic compares this film to IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, and I don't agree with that comparison. The hero of that movie was, well, a hero, whereas CLICK's protagonist is a selfish a-hole. He doesn't lose his faith; he merely makes a lot of selfish decisions and comes to regret them. More to the point, Frank Capra managed to make a serious film with a happy ending while still keeping the humor (reasonably) subtle, and never going "blue." Once you've introduced exaggerated farting, a stuffed animal getting sodomized, an "office slut," a child getting hit in the face, etc., I think you've blown your chance at being seriously ranked alongside IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.
This movie made me think of how life passes you by without realizing it. Sometimes I feel like my life is on fast forward. I do try to enjoy it and not take anything for granted.
This was the first movie to be dubbed a "false comedy". A movie which is marketed as a comedy that ends up making you cry (not laughing). Another movie that comes to mind is "Swiss Army Man"
18:22 What’s funny is that this movie was actually nominated for an Academy Award for Best Make-Up. I’m not kidding. XD At least it lost to Pan’s Labyrinth though.
I honestly really love this movie and it does make me cry every time his dad dies and when he dies in rain! Plus I think it gives a good message, don’t take anything in your life for granted, you never know how much time you have to enjoy things!
I remember watching this movie when I was very pregnant and emotional and sobbing at the end...probably the hardest I've ever cried at a movie and it is a fckin adam Sandler flick......damn
Some thoughts about this movie that would make it better 1) Change the ending rewind by adding a scene. When he is being shown the remote, have Walken show him the "Bookmark" function with him responding "What's a bookmark?" (time goes back) "What's a... oh". It get's brushed off as a joke for laughs, then at the end of the movie he remembers the function and uses that to jump back in time. 2) I don't think his boss was a jerk. It's much more likely he didn't get the promotion because, you know, auto pilot. Imagine that scene where his boss tells him "It feels like every time you are due for a promotion, you just stop trying.". It would have been something. 3) If they aren't going for a total reset, imagine an alternate ending where his son is going through his belongings, pulls out the remote with a "Huh, I wonder what this is for". 4) The auto function of the remote is fine, but there are times where he only did something like twice before it kicked in. 5) Although direct, I would have liked a reveal that Walken was the Angel of Death who gave him the remote intentionally knowing he would come back. Ending with him telling Sandler something along the lines of "Most people just coast through life but your future isn't like a movie, it's not written down by a creative mind. It's up to you to make it the best it can be."
I'd always assumed that Sandler's character was less upset about his coworker's transition and more upset about the fact that he realizes that a far longer period of time than he expected would have had to pass in order for such a transition to occur.
This hits a lot more watching the last third years later, there's a good dramatic actor hiding behind the usual Sandler crap and those scenes at the end proved it, even the little acknowledgement he gives to his elderly mother at his son's wedding reception still leaves me a little choked up. Oh and Christopher Walken is Death, what a movie.
I used to think that, but him and his comedy buddies are possibly MAGA Trump supporters, so I don't know what to think anymore. I used to love Rob Schneider as a kid, but now it's just sad every time you hear anything about him.
@@nampyeon635 If them supporting Trump, of all people, is enough to make you dislike or hate them..... Well that's just a little extreme but still within standard parameters, so I guess you're still okay :p I don't like people who kick dogs or pressure kids to do questionable things. Also I don't like when people treat me like a child just because I'm so short and not very curvy -_- I'm okay with Biden supporters and Trump supporters as long as they have other qualities. I like how things where under Trump more than under Biden so far but I'm hoping that Biden can make a comeback
Yeah, I remember watching this for the first time and getting total whiplash over the “I love you son” scene because it was so depressing and dramatic for a comedy, but so well done and acted. And also “the making of” scene…the latter half of which horrifically scarred me for life given there was a pov birth…
21:55 - The Critic's reaction to the revelation that Morty is Death is hilarious to me. Anyone who speaks portuguese saw it from a mile away since the beginning (Morty = "Morte" = Death)
I was watching this film last week and thought with myself "I would love to see Doug talk more about this movie. He just hint a little about in the Adam Sandler films essay." Great to see this happening now!
17:16 As Bart Simpson once said, "Damn FDA! Why can't they all be marshmallows?" I remember the theatrical trailer for this movie, and it practically spoiled the out-of-left-field DRAMATIC turn it took into schmaltz, after so much low brow humor. Which included Morty showing Adam the "Making Of" feature, taking them back in time to see Adam's parents... making him.
You did better tham my wife and I getting through the whole thing! 😆 We clicked the movie for the awesome concept of a time-travel remote that can bend reality.. We rage-quit 30 minutes later. It's alot more pleasant having your riffs along the way 😄
Fun Fact: The coin trick that Henry Winkler does in the movie is something the actor does in real life. During public appearances, Winkler will often do the trick for children.

@@PrincessNinja007Yup. It was even adapted into an episode of the Goosebumps series.
@@PrincessNinja007 yup it's called the cuckoo clock of doom
I remember that Goosebumps story! Yeah, its the same concept, but it doesn't follow the same story beats at all IIRC.
I remembered one episode where a kid can control life with a remote controller
The scene with the last time he saw his dad was emotional for a very good reason:
His real life father actually had passed away not too long before this. That was Adam breaking character.
Damn, I never knew this. I already liked this movie but that makes me respect it more.

@@kyliepollert8341You do know that movies have to be made before their release right?
666 likes
And he does give thanks to his Stan and Judy at the end credits of Click so yeah.
The scene when Adam Sandler saw his father the last time was the most powerful part of the movie. To me this was proof long before Uncut Gems that Adam Sandler could do Drama and could make you feel emotions if the script was right.
How about Reign over me?
What about Punch Drunk Love?
Watch punch drunk love
Not as sad, but 50 first dates showed his drama chops too.
@@magallanesagustin4952 yep, anyone who hasn't seen it would give it a watch. Great movie and song
The third act NEVER EVER fails to make me cry. All that is from Sandler who really is a great dramatic actor. I hope Sandler goes the route of Tom Hanks, Robin Williams and Bill Murray - Great comedic actors who have serious dramatic acting chops!
He has. Have you seen Punch Drunk Love, Reign Over Me, Meyerowitz Stories, Uncut Gems, or Hustle?
@@INoahGuy1 I have and I hope he stays the course and makes more serious dramas and not “Hubie Halloween 2”🙏🤞
I have to be honest, I would like to see Adam’s wife, Jackie, give a shot at drama.
She encouraged Adam to take his role in Uncut Gems. I don’t see why Adam wouldn’t support her if she was given an opportunity for a dramatic role
... I wouldn't put Sandler's comedy skills along the likes of Hanks, Williams and Murray . but that's just me.
Tom Hanks is a comedic actor? I thought he was mostly known as a dramatic actor. I cant remember any comedy with him (Forrest Gump is not a comedy)
21:00 the reason Sandlers acting here is so good is cause his father literally died a week before this scene was shot. Sandler is actually breaking down and crying in this scene cause he is thinking of his own recently passed away father.
Damn...
That’s awful! But I imagine it must’ve been very cathartic
Stanley Sandler died September 9th 2003. Click didn't begin filming until the middle of 2005. He died much longer than a week before filming.
@@theblakesheep people just try to make any reason to discredit Adam Sandler, to the point of using his dead father which is messed up
@@CaptainWaldoe Im not saying he's discrediting Adam Sandler but just correcting the comment.
50 First Dates was dedicated to Adam's father.
But I also believe, that scene made him remember his Dad which made it extremely organic. Allowing him to say goodbye through the movie.
This and Marley & Me definitely take the place as films that mislead me into thinking they’d be fun comedies as a kid when they get more depressing near the third act .
Sooo true
Seriously I thought this movie would just a fun comedy with nothing dramatic. Or the usual Sandler stupidity.
I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THE LAST PART!!!!!!!!
Also, now that you mention that, I think 50 First Dates is like that too
at least marley & me ambrace the drama as part of life, this one does the good old "it was all a dream" twist
Click is mostly funny. It only turns sad at the last twenty minutes.
Oh God this movie..
....the scene with old Sandler running for his son in the rain still makes me cry
Dude same 😭
I agree! I still cry during that scene!
Edit: This was such an ironically powerful movie!
Yep one of the few scenes I felt something while watching this movie
“Forever and ever, babe,”
The wife crying also gets me
Such an amazing and emotional scene
When he repeatedely says "I love you" to his dad is what always breaks me 😭
22:18 Death isn't evil, malignant, or vindictive.
The role of Death is to make mortals appreciate life.
I think it fits the part far better than you realize.
This. I don’t know how critic missed it, because he even makes an “Ebenezer Scrooge/ Christmas movie” joke (I’m doubling your salary!), but doesn’t draw a comparison between Morty (Morte = Death) and the Ghost of Christmas Future, who is also Death. Morty isn’t lying about who he is; this is his Modus Operandi.
Write that down on the short “list of things click and puss in boots the last wish have in common”
@@DuskLegend is Christopher Walkin in that movie?
Not to mention I can oddly buy Walken as Death. Awkward sense of humor probably used as a coping mechanism for his macabre work, friendly but intimidating when he needs to be, yeah
Except at the end, Morty seems to be trying to tempt Michael into making the same mistakes over again. Given that both God and the Devil have been known to put humans to the test, it's anyone's guess who Morty's boss is.
For me personally. This was an unintentional Horror movie that scared me for ages. No truer fear than your own death and your life flying past faster than you can keep up
I would've just committed suicide in Sandler's shoes if I constantly woke up to bad futures while in a coma.
Without the life redo, it would have been a perfect existential horror
Very true.
I remember seeing this movie with some friends when it came out, we were all in our early 20's. I said that if I had that remote, I'd absolutely fast forward through years or even decades of my life, losing my family and everyone who mattered to me, if it meant I'd be a rich CEO in the end. My friends all said that I was crazy and that they wouldn't make that sacrifice because family and happiness was more important than money.
It's now nearly 20 years later and they're all not only doing financially better than me, but have families and relationships, which I don't have. I'm not sure what my point is, but I find the irony too hilarious not to mention.
I think Walken being the Angel of Death makes some sense. Foreshadowing-wise, he's obviously supernatural from the get-go (though the AoD hanging out in a Bed Bath and Beyond seems like a prediction nowadays) and his name is Mortie, "morti/mors" being Latin for "death"
Plus it fits in, too, at the end when he tells Sandler he doesn't have to die here just to let his son know not to make the same mistakes he did. (An angel telling you that is one thing. Hearing it from the Reaper* himself is another).
As far as them being friends at the end, I think he was always acting in good faith since he gave everything back once Sandler learned his lesson and accepted it was the path he chose that led him to where he was.
*I just realized that writing this. Walken is a Reaper you don't have to fear. Wonder if that's intended as an SNL reference.
Walken also had the role of an angel in the PROPHECY films. Of course, those were religious thrillers rather than comedies.
He also seems to get more and more aggressive the more Sandler forgets what’s important and starts wasting his life on his job instead of what would make him genuinely happy
It’s pretty insane how this started out as a typical Adam Sandler comedy than went completely 180 and became a drama with a great lesson. That completely caught me off guard when I first saw this.
O think the fact aborto to a forced comedy to a powerfull drama is so impressive because the public don't expect this third act
same.
Yeah. It reminded me of seeing Bicentennial Man when I was a kid - another drama that was largely marketed as a good time romp.
@@alexandresmgc374 its a valuble lesson in you dont know what you have till its gone and its all fun and games till time runs out.
My college professor laughed at me in front of the whole class and acted like I was completely out of line when I told him this movie made me cry when I was younger, as if I was totally insane to say that Henry winkler and Adam Sandler could have serious heart felt moments.
Imo, this was one of the better Sandler movies due to the makeup, some emotional moments, and a pretty good performance from Adam Sandler.
Same. It definitely is a lot better than, say, Jack and Jill or some of Sandler’s other terrible
Comedies
The bad moments are forgettable enough that, unless I re watch it, I actually remember it as a good movie and forget Sandler was ever in it
Same but they also made Sandler’s character an unsympathetic asshole for most of the movie.
Just wish the jokes were better
Even the stupider Jones get a snort out of me especially the flap joke
Honestly, the scene where Sandler witnesses his last memory of his father is one of my favourite scenes in a movie ever. Granted alot of it is for personal reasons but something about Sandler looking at himself in shame as he is rewinding his fathers last words to him is just fucking heart breaking, and its all sold through some phenomenal acting. Shame such an amzing scene is in such a bad movie.
Your not alone, it’s my favorite scene as well! I think it’s done to perfection!
Yes I saw this movie when I was little. Holds a special place in my heart. Makes me almost tear up to this day. I myself wouldn't consider it bad, more just mid.
I have formed my own opinion and I think the movie is kinda bad, and I really couldn't care less if my opinion lines up with others. if you love the movie then great im glad you can enjoy it but personally while there are some great things in this movie its comedy isnt exactly funny and keeps me from liking the movie.
@@rumson1958
Late ass response lol
It's the moment when the father walks away & is out of sight of Sandler & his son that always gets me. When he drops his brave face & starts bawling. That always wrecks me.
Him screaming after his son after leaving the hospital terrified and moved me as a kid watching this. Not sure how I felt about the rest of it but that was a resonant moment for sure.
It's the way he can barely even muster the strength to say Ben's name at first. He uses the little energy he has left to get as close to Ben as possible before slamming down on the ground and screaming his name. Even squeezing out the extra syllables of his full name Benjamin in the hope that he might not miss him before he departs from life and Ben departs him without maybe ever fully appreciating that family DOES come first. Made me cry then at 11 years old and is making me cry now turning 30.
I think the reason the ending parts of Click hit so hard is because it's all fun and games until you ruin your life. You see all the slow motion tits and fart jokes, but then at the end it's like "Oh."
That unfortunately I think turned away people that aren't into Sandler's childish comedy. The trailer made it seem very typical. I rented this movie from Redbox way back in the day out of boredom, and like you said, the drama caught me completely off guard.
Really though, the Sandler moments aren't that bad.
I have a soft spot for Click. It had some funny moments but also had some emotional moments showing the talent Sandler had deep down for both comedic and dramatic roles in movies. Despite the typical immature humor, some of it made me laugh. It did well trying to find the balance of being lighthearted and dramatic. As I said, I did like most of the jokes. I don’t care much about the low brow humor. Especially the moments with Christopher Walken
same, i realize it's problems, but sandlers performance and the emotional moments more than make up for it.
Yeah me and my Dad saw this movie in theaters and we liked it alot.
I loved how this movie started like just another Sandler's movie but then it turns to be a drama movie but the jokes felt to me better with the drama in order to break the tension my favorite was when Adam gave the middle finger to the sepdad
It's only a drama in the last twenty minutes.
@@magallanesagustin4952 True, but I still wished it balanced out the comedy and drama better.
A similar film such as Bruce Almighty I felt balanced the comedy and drama better, even when it got serious it didn’t feel like a completely different film.
Click however went from a goofy Sandler film to a morbidly depressing one, and did it way too fast.
Felt like an entirely different film.
IDK, I don’t hate the film but as I said the tone just felt too inconsistent.
@@RYMAN1321 sometimes life hits like that, silly at first then dramatic 😔
@@Juber777 True, except a film like Click has fantasy elements, it’s not real life overall.
At times in films, I don’t need to be reminded when life gets bad.
Films are overall meant to be an escape.
@@RYMAN1321 it's not meant to be an escape, it's meant to be entertaining to some level, not a magic carpet ride for leaving reality...
19:01 The only way to finish that line would be "Michael Jackson's music is still beloved by many."
7:03 don't forget, he also stole literally the movie's entire concept from a goosebumps episode that had a young boy get a magic remote control that could rewind, fast forward, pause, etc. his life, told how it works by a shady guy in a wearhouse, and ends up screwing his life with the remote. Also that goosebumps episode is literally called Click.
Common story lmao
@@garfieldfan925 maybe now, but it wasn't back then. Plus it ripped off exact details, even the name of the episode
@@inuyasha1014 Even better than that, there was an episode of The Jetsons from 1985 called "Instant Replay" that has pretty much this same concept.
I think just waking up and knowing Christopher Walken is still alive makes me hopeful for the world.
I fear when this comment ages poorly
I know, Its going to take a part of my soul when he does pass away. Ive been in love with him since I was 5, back in 1990
But for how long?
@@jamiehartley4218 Max Shrek is one of the best Batman film villains
I just hope he gets into a Marvel movie before he passes. Hopefully he’ll be in the same character type as Goldblum, Del Toro, and Murray.
One more fact about this film that is ok: The "Jogger with Giant Boobies" was played by Ukrainian model, dancer and singer Ireesha. She was the choreographer for the National Olympic Team of Ukraine in Rhythmic Gymnastics for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and all major World Cup and Champions, this explains why she was jogging. The character also appears in Epic Movie (2007), parodied by Russian stand-up comedian, actress, and model Irina Voronina who is also Ireesha's doppelganger.
Ok, kinda random
What's she up to now? I hope she's not in the crossfire between her country and Russia.
This movie taught me that you have to suffer through your bad moments to enjoy the good ones, there is no fast forward in life but there's always something better waiting for you in the next chapter
That's not true that's just pushed onto you and you've found a coping mechanism
@@corncobjohnsonreal Sounds like your projecting, you'll figure it out
19:13 Just realising Jimmy De Santa from GTA V is based on this Jonah Hill character in Click. Wow
It has been many years since I watched this movie. And what I thought back then is still the same as today: The Plot is the same as A Christmas Carol.
Think about it. Adam uses the remote to go back in time to witness his prom with his future wife. (Ghost of Christmas past.) He uses the pause feature to enjoy and examine his current life. (Ghost of Christmas present.) And he missuses the Autopilot feature to travel to the future. (Ghost of Christmas future.) And yes! The Nostalgia critic got it when he made a Christmas Joke while Adam Sandler wakes up from that display bed and runs back to his blue car.
The plot points of this movie are only remixes of what Charles Dickens had already made up.
I'll admit it, this movie made me cry. It made me cry twice. That's embarrassing, yet this movie got me in the saddies.
This movie's third act caused my dad to cry, it's literally the only time I've seen him cry during a movie
It's one of the only times I've ever cried from a movie too. It's crazy how well the drama at the end was done
Adam Sandler saying "family" as his last words to his family is a powerful enough scene for me to even consider those being my last words to my family... unexpected powerful third act indeed.
He did Dom proud😂
Not everyone is going to appreciate the humor in Click as it is very crass and sophomoric. Having said that, once you get past the humor, the emotional scenes in the third act really pack a whollup, thus making this movie one of Sandler’s most underrated classics in my opinion. Even the Lucky Charms scene has some deep philosophical truths to it. Morty is basically saying that not everything you pursue will bring you the fulfillment that you expect. If anything, it will leave you dry and wanting more.
In other words, don't be like Michael Jordan. Definitely don't be like Griffith
19:57 "only an hour fourteen in and we finally get the good movie"
It's really sad how true that statement is.
I've always said that Adam Sandler is much better at drama than he is at comedy. Hustle, Uncut Gems, and the serious moments in this movie are proof of that.
And Reign over me.
I guess there's no love for Funny People? I saw it once. I remember liking it.
@@magallanesagustin4952 Reign Over Me got me into one of my favorite games of all time. Also a great movie, too.
He's been in good comedies too, they just can't be produced by _his_ production studio. The Wedding Singer is a favorite of mine.
Punch Drunk Love.
Fun Fact: 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
When Sandler fell in the rain while screaming for his son broke me..
same i was putty in this film's hand.
Sandler is garbage. Mostly poop jokes.
i shouldn't be crying at this movie, but i do 😭🙆🏽♀️
Yup, same.
I was watching this movie with my Dad several years ago....I actually began to tear up at the end...and my Dad gave me a hug. It's a weird, funny, happy movie.
Aww. Hugs are always great!
Man, I can't believe a movie I watched when I was 12 years old is now considered nostalgic. Damn, I feel old. And I'm only 25!
The scene when he sees his father for the last time makes me ball crying. No other film holds that power over me
You should watch Terminator 2
Take a look at Bicentennial Man (1999). Not only you will enjoy one of the best movies ever made, but you will also realize how much you can really cry. Oh, and it's fun as hell.
@@PurpleSanz Bicentennial Man was so freaking sad. Didn’t cry, but man. What a great yet sad movie.
Jake Hoffman is just terrific as Michael's son.
He's only at the final part of the movie but you can tell he was always with his dad even though he was aware his decisions were killing him.
Jake Hoffman is a nepo baby
True, he was crying hard when he died, I felt that.
This movie actually made me tear up. I stand by that it is a sleeper hit.
There are two Happy Madison movies that have made me legit cry. Tears and all. This and 8 crazy nights. I'm not ashamed to say Click actually made me cry. That last part with the father and him about to die with his family surrounding him really got to me. NGL
I remember first seeing “8 Crazy Nights” as a kid and being legitimately moved by it, it might have been the first movie I saw where I consciously recognized the emotional heft. Sandler has such a strange ability to do that while still being wildly juvenile and I can’t think of anyone else who makes movies like his. Credit where it is due, good or ill, Happy Madison makes strangely unique movies.
Click is certainly a memorable Adam Sandler story. It has a few good deep moments and has certainly made me smile and cry a few times while watching it. The dog & Duck jokes are a little over done but I can respect that they wanted to have a fun running gag in between the serious and emotional scenes and the more serious humor. Good job on your review! Your dark humor helps add to the thrill of diving into this amazing film!
You know for what it's worth for how his decade was going i'm glad he made this movie to show that he still had potential and could be still a really good actor
"Lucky's always chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but when he gets there it's just cornflakes."
This is probably the best moral this movie will give you.
And it's technically a great analogy for this movie:
You think it's all fun and games until the fun is over.
@@DennisTheZZZ The message I got from it was that you shouldn't spend your life chasing something, because when you finally attain it it might not be everything you thought it would be and now you're at the end. Instead of chasing, try slowing down to a walk and enjoy the ride a little
I call my ex-girlfriend cornflakes for this reason. Don't keep chasing lol
I'm honestly now more really interested what a James Gunn version of Click would be
John Cena with Robert Patrick as the father
Actually he actually pitched to Sony a movie with a similar premise but they chosed to make Click instead.
@@maximosalazar9985 Really? What was it called?
@@MovieFan1912 "Rewind"
Unpleasantly hilarious, but it could be a lot better than this.
The scene with Dolores O'Riordan singing Linger... this movie knows how to pull in the heart strings
22:27 That scene is even more depressing because Dolores O'Riordan didn't even live to 2023.
i honestly dont mind the jokes because the last third is so depressing. The jokes hit a lil harder and it also makes every moment he's on autopilot a LOT more depressing. I cant help but imagine what the other people's perspective of Michael was when he's on autopilot most of the time and then has these sudden brief moments of clarity where he's so confused and asking why so many things have changed.
Omg that's such a dark thought, I love it lol
I've always felt nostalgic about this movie for some reason
Ha he said it! He said the thing!
Well it was one of the most sold DVDs of the 2000s
Rooollll credits!
I find this to be an underrated Sandler flick, aside from some scenes which go a bit too far, but the ending always gets me to tears. Plus I have a soft spot for it as it came out when I was 8. Watched it recently and I actually liked a lot of the story aspects. I’m hoping Critic does You Don’t Mess with the Zohan next or even The Benchwarmers, as I find them underrated too.
Your skit was funny, well-timed and just the right length in this video, NC! I think you've hit the perfect blend of review and skit.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Honestly Robin Williams should’ve been cast for this movie instead of Sandler. Robin’s actually good at making people of all ages laugh, while Sandler’s good at making kids laugh and parents roll their eyes.
I rate this movie 6/10, it’s pretty good. But the biggest problem with this movie is Adam Sandler himself, he’s just not that convincing in this role and I could see other actors doing a better job
I remember watching this cause there was nothing better to watch on TV, and I was shocked that the last third made me care so much about Sandler's character and his family. So I would say that it is worth watching, if only to experience the emotional whiplash.
I feel that this is a very under-appreciated Adam Sandler comedy. Sure, yes, it does fall under some very similar tropes as his other comedies, but this film really knew how to effectively hit the emotional moments as well. I still cry while watching the third act of this film even though I’ve seen it a bunch of times. I’m glad you got around to reviewing this.
Imagine me always only seeing the cover of this movie, reading about all the fun Sandler has with this life remote... and then when I finally see it on TV I walk in on the scene with the old father and the coin trick near the end. Talk about emotional whiplash for a movie I thought was gonna be a comedy the whole way through.
This movie was one of the few times I saw my father cry. This is also one of Sandler's best movies because it's nostalgic, hilarious as fuck, AND depressing as fuck.
This is one of those movies I'd recommend watching at least once in everyone's life. The message is just too relevant to pass up.
True, but everyone will interpret a different message. My friends took the message that family is more important than money. I took the message that money is more important than anything, because I saw the time when he was the CEO, worth millions of dollars, as the thing to aspire to.
The ironic thing is, they're all doing better than me not just in the family and relationship side of things, but the financial and career side too. Funny how life goes.

I see where Doug's coming from, but I think this is one of Adam Sandler's best films. His range is off the charts. Yeah, a lot of the jokes haven't aged well, but I agree with him about the third act. Rarely have I seen a film that both makes you roll your eyes & groan in pure, second hand embarrassment to balling your eyes out in genuine tears of sadness.
I'm not going to lie, but I do have a soft spot for this film.
There's always been a unique vibe with Adam Sandler (Happy Madison) films. It's fitting for this channel to review because what these films are is simply Pure Nostalgia. The third act hits hard because of the stupid jokes prior. The scene with the dad comes out of left field in the best and saddest way possible. And as most of us have grown up, this film doesn't just make us cry because of the third act, but also because of the memories we had watching it years ago. And for that reason, despite all the crappy jokes, it holds a special place in our hearts. ❤️
(22:28) Rest In Peace Dolores O'Riordan 😔🕊
Fun Fact: she was born on September 6, 1971, so if this scene is suppose to take place in 2030 or 2031 she’s supposed to be around 59 or 60 years old in this scene
This got film got weirdly depressing and existentialist at the end. I was a kid when this film first came out and I first saw this, I only watched action movies and comedies at the time, I actually teared up a little at the end...
This is one of my more favorite Adam Sandler movies. yes it has it's groaner moments like all of his films does but it has some funny moments as well along with a good message.
Also, you cannot lie and say that that rain scene didn't at least choke you up a bit
Click was actually good life lesson
12:40 No, because I always get the breadsticks. When I was a kid, it was all I would eat at their restaurant plus fries.
I remember watching this a few days after a really bad break up and MY GOD I CRIED MY BALLS OFF when the father tells he loves him. Who knew back then Sandler could actually pull off very good dramatic performances.
When Adam Sandler flipped that dude off, it really got a laugh out of me
One of the most underrated films of all time.
I want to say Adam Sandler's character should've used the remote to be a hero, but he'd probably just turn into a supervillain.
This is a weird movie, it’s first two acts are a crappy Adam Sandler comedy but then takes a 180 in it’s 3rd act, becomes really good and actually had me in tears, it almost feels like a completely different director came in.
One of Adam Sendler's best movies with a deep and strong message and performances.
Love every bit of it
I'm not sure about that. I've always felt that when dark films have goofy scenes in them, that somehow makes them even darker - nihilistic, even. Besides that, the Nostalgia Critic compares this film to IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, and I don't agree with that comparison. The hero of that movie was, well, a hero, whereas CLICK's protagonist is a selfish a-hole. He doesn't lose his faith; he merely makes a lot of selfish decisions and comes to regret them. More to the point, Frank Capra managed to make a serious film with a happy ending while still keeping the humor (reasonably) subtle, and never going "blue." Once you've introduced exaggerated farting, a stuffed animal getting sodomized, an "office slut," a child getting hit in the face, etc., I think you've blown your chance at being seriously ranked alongside IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.
3:46 missed opportunity for "I've already let out two, and I'm working on a turd"
17:29 despite what your boss tells you, Doug. This joke aged like a fine wine. Seriously, when has Mike ever been right?
I grew up watching this at a friend’s house. Definitely one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies
This movie made me think of how life passes you by without realizing it. Sometimes I feel like my life is on fast forward. I do try to enjoy it and not take anything for granted.
This was the first movie to be dubbed a "false comedy". A movie which is marketed as a comedy that ends up making you cry (not laughing). Another movie that comes to mind is "Swiss Army Man"
18:22 What’s funny is that this movie was actually nominated for an Academy Award for Best Make-Up. I’m not kidding. XD At least it lost to Pan’s Labyrinth though.
I honestly really love this movie and it does make me cry every time his dad dies and when he dies in rain! Plus I think it gives a good message, don’t take anything in your life for granted, you never know how much time you have to enjoy things!
That's one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. Brings me back in 2006.

16:33 “My cameo from the SpongeBob SquarePants movie was more dignified”
Probably my favorite Sandler movie. Still hits me in the feels to this day every time I watch it
Some thoughts about this movie that would make it better
1) Change the ending rewind by adding a scene. When he is being shown the remote, have Walken show him the "Bookmark" function with him responding "What's a bookmark?" (time goes back) "What's a... oh". It get's brushed off as a joke for laughs, then at the end of the movie he remembers the function and uses that to jump back in time.
2) I don't think his boss was a jerk. It's much more likely he didn't get the promotion because, you know, auto pilot. Imagine that scene where his boss tells him "It feels like every time you are due for a promotion, you just stop trying.". It would have been something.
3) If they aren't going for a total reset, imagine an alternate ending where his son is going through his belongings, pulls out the remote with a "Huh, I wonder what this is for".
4) The auto function of the remote is fine, but there are times where he only did something like twice before it kicked in.
5) Although direct, I would have liked a reveal that Walken was the Angel of Death who gave him the remote intentionally knowing he would come back. Ending with him telling Sandler something along the lines of "Most people just coast through life but your future isn't like a movie, it's not written down by a creative mind. It's up to you to make it the best it can be."
I'd always assumed that Sandler's character was less upset about his coworker's transition and more upset about the fact that he realizes that a far longer period of time than he expected would have had to pass in order for such a transition to occur.
This hits a lot more watching the last third years later, there's a good dramatic actor hiding behind the usual Sandler crap and those scenes at the end proved it, even the little acknowledgement he gives to his elderly mother at his son's wedding reception still leaves me a little choked up.
Oh and Christopher Walken is Death, what a movie.
I know a lot of Adam Sandler's movies aren't the best, but I can't help but love the guy. He's so talented and nice
I used to think that, but him and his comedy buddies are possibly MAGA Trump supporters, so I don't know what to think anymore. I used to love Rob Schneider as a kid, but now it's just sad every time you hear anything about him.

And also “the making of” scene…the latter half of which horrifically scarred me for life given there was a pov birth…
21:55 - The Critic's reaction to the revelation that Morty is Death is hilarious to me. Anyone who speaks portuguese saw it from a mile away since the beginning (Morty = "Morte" = Death)
Short for “Mortimer” which comes from the Latin for “Dead Sea” possibly a way to say “Swamp.”
Source: it’s my name
Bit much to think people thought of a Sandler that cleverly, even if from another language
Years later now I realized this movie feels like a call back to a Christmas Carol
While I didn't like most of this movie, the scene with his dad and the scene where he runs after his son both made me cry. D :
The fact that most people forgot about this film so much just shows what a reaction it left with some fans
I was watching this film last week and thought with myself "I would love to see Doug talk more about this movie. He just hint a little about in the Adam Sandler films essay." Great to see this happening now!
17:16 As Bart Simpson once said, "Damn FDA! Why can't they all be marshmallows?"
I remember the theatrical trailer for this movie, and it practically spoiled the out-of-left-field DRAMATIC turn it took into schmaltz, after so much low brow humor. Which included Morty showing Adam the "Making Of" feature, taking them back in time to see Adam's parents... making him.
You did better tham my wife and I getting through the whole thing! 😆 We clicked the movie for the awesome concept of a time-travel remote that can bend reality.. We rage-quit 30 minutes later. It's alot more pleasant having your riffs along the way 😄

Fun Fact: The coin trick that Henry Winkler does in the movie is something the actor does in real life. During public appearances, Winkler will often do the trick for children.

I think what sucks most about this film is that it had so much potential to be amazing and somehow it just didn't stick the landing.
That James Stewart impression is way better than I thought it would be.
I’m not gonna lie… this movie is my favorite Adam Sandler movie. Also when ever I watch the rain scene it makes me cry so hard
