Click -Adam Sandler

[Reality]

Boy am i getting mixed reviews on this.

Any eyewitness accounts?
Skander can you do a Supermanlike review, that was very helpful.

I saw this but don't have too much to say about it.  I'll give it a whirl, though.

Click is your average, feel-good, lesson-learned summer movie fare.  With Sandler's Happy Madison production company at the helm, expect loud cursing, gratuitous sexual references, and (the Sandler standby) slap-stick violence.

The cast was for the most part entertaining:  Adam Sandler does a great Adam Sandler.  His wife was smokin' hot babe, Kate Beckinsale (Underworld).  Sandler brings back Henry Winkler (the Fonz) as his father and casts little-used actress Julie Kavner as his mother.  Most people are going to know Julie Kavner as the voice talent that does Marge Simpson -- get this, she actually, really talks like that.  It was awesome to see in real-life.  Old SNL buddy, Rob Schneider does a cameo (Prince Habibu) and Hasselhof plays, what else, the arrogant ass of a boss.  A personal favorite of mine was Christopher Walken as the helpful store salesman, a little more subdued in this movie than most others but nonetheless vintage.

The story wasn't bad for what it was.  It is the standard appreciate your life and the people you love moral that's been re-done since Jimmy Stewart found out it was a wonderful life.  The movie does take a rather steep visual and stylistic U-turn in the middle which conveys a believable rendition of what our future might look like--lets put it this way, I've seen a lot worst.  Forgiving the blatent deus ex machina in the end, the movie puts a modern twist on an old format quite nicely.

Click is....

Ok cool thank you.

I had been told he takes a great plot premiss, and while you expect the usual Sandler gags as you mentioned, that he wayy overdoes the fart/dog humping low brow humor in Click to the extent of ruination.  For instance I liked Waterboy, and could seperate the much good from the lowbrow bad.  However the one where he took care of the kid, yeah i think it was Billy Madison, I'll pass on that.  The stoopid violence, etc.  It does seem like Sandler can create a real heartwarming moment but then he is uncomfortable with being real so has to do something rude to break up the feeling.  Like in Mr Deeds.  

Okay so bottomlining it the low brow stuff did not overpower you, enough good to overcome like most Sandler movies.

Another viewer told me all the chicks in the theater were crying/near crying at the end. :eek2:  :huh:

Marge Simpon/Nancy Korver, now i have to see it.

Big Daddy is the one he takes care of the kid.

I think his formula of making movies is starting to get tired.  We know what to expect.  We know what he is going to do.  Heck we could probably take his spot and pull off the exact facial expression with the little innocent boy voice that he does followed up with a mad yell-rant right after.

Yet another movie I could careless to see until it comes out on video.  The price of tickets has really turned me off to going out to see movies.  If it is not something that looks awesome it is almost why bother?

Plot question.  When Sandler was fast forwarded to the year 2017.  Alone in his plush condo, he goes back to the family house.  Son Ben is hugely fat, sitting on the couch.

Sandlers son at that time -on the couch scene:
17 years old played by Jonah Hill


However the next time we see this same?? son, is when he is working for Dad (Sandler) and is 22 years old.  A slim and trim son played by Jake Hoffman jpg  BTW, what makes pictures turn into the red X after 30 seconds?

Here is the url.  http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/4919/JakeH...ani_9033902_400.What supposedly transpired to make son Ben go from ultra fat to slim?

He supposedly worked out with his grandfather (Henry Winkler), 5 times a week and watched his diet.  Kind of cheesy seeing as how it wasn't long after this that his grandfather dies of OLD AGE.  How was he able to, so recently, work out with his grandson 5 times a week?  I can't even work out 5 times a week.  B)  

He told his father how he lost the wait as he was fiddling with his mini-laptop thingamajig behind his desk.

gracias.

News on in 2029 or whatever year it was by the time Sandler was about ready to pass.

"Michael Jackson became the 1st person to successfully clone himself.  He then molested himself, and is the 1st person to sue himself." :rolleyes:
