Click movie review - Aussieboyreviews
WILL PARENTS APPROVE OF THE CRUDE HUMOUR IN CLICK?
Adam Sandler stars in this predictable but decent comedy that’s okay for teens, but not necessarily for kids. Click is a fun movie, but does contain sexual references and language.
Storyline
An architect discovers a universal remote that gives him the ability to pause and fast-forward time and rewind to certain moments in his life. Complications begin to emerge when the remote starts to overrule his choices.

Aussie boy's thoughts
Who would’ve been expecting tearjerking moments in this predictable but satisfying comedy? Adam Sandler stars as an exhausted father discovering the strength of a universal remote, but also having displeasure as it all seems to go wrong. The entire plot is something you’ve probably heard of or seen. However, Click really sets off the intelligent idea, providing us with laughs and surprises.
It’s especially unusual and unexpected coming from a typical Adam Sandler comedy, but you’ll find there’s a fair few emotions mainly as it gets more climatic. These moments also teach the importance of family and care, but the film is not best for kids. There’s hysterical but sexual and crude humour.
Even if you’ve never seen other movies or shows featuring the universal remote idea, Click can still be quite predictable when you learn the plot. What’s really enjoyable is Adam Sandler’s appealing character and the other jokes mixed with the ideas. It’s not a masterpiece or a classic, but Click is quite a nice surprise for teens and is successful in entertaining.
