Sometimes things just “click” with you when you least expect it. Here I was expecting to laugh my butt off with another Adam Sandler comedy and all of a sudden I find myself being moved to tears over and over again by his movie “CLICK” (2006). Talk about coming from leftfield! I was knocked for a loop by the unbelievably sweet and tender moments in this sometimes rude, crude comedy.
It’s a difficult task for a filmmaker to balance comedy and drama in the same movie but “CLICK” does a wonderful job moving from laughs to sentiment. Jim Carrey has always done this very well in some of his movies so it’s not surprising that Adam Sandler manages to pull it off as well. He plays the common man very well here without going over the top.
Here’s the trailer
There are some funny scenes that might toe the line of good taste.
For example, the infamous fart scene where Sandler uses his special remote control to slap his bad boss in the face in more ways than one.
Spoiler Alert!!!
OK, once you get passed the slapstick scenes you will experience some extremely touching scenes like this one between Sandler, his son and his dad.
Here are the powerful ending sequences that once again touches the heart deeply. I rank these emotional scenes right up there with the best of them, including my favorite movie ever, “It’s a Wonderful Life”!
