Anyone going to see Click this weekend? I’m pretty excited, big fan of sandler. I also heard that it as much heart as humor. We’ll see.
I don’t know. It could be good; I’ll probably wait for the reviews come in before deciding whether or not to see it. My first reaction after seeing the trailer was “I liked it better the first time I saw it, when it was called Bruce Almighty.”
I suspect that this will be a renter for me. I do think that Kate Beckinsale is just adorable, and love to watch her, but the whole premise just doesn’t pull me in enough to go to a movie theater to watch.
I always knew that there was strange stuff in that Beyond section.
Personally, I’ll be pressing the Eject button. I just don’t like Adam Sandler.
I’ll watch it if my BF rents it on dvd (which I doubt) or in a few years when it’s on TV, if nothing else is on worth watching. In short, it doesn’t really interest me.
I heard that, only it was “sap and slapstick”.
This will be one of those movies that I’ll be watching with a group of friends in a year or two, and everyone else will be laughing, and I’ll be sitting there going “What. The. Hell. Is. Funny. About. This.”
So not this weekend, no.
I want to know if this is being credited as an adaptation of the Italian (?) comic book about a guy who builds a remote that gives women orgasms with the push of a button.
Isn’t this story basically a ripoff of the Nicholson Baker novel[ette?] The Fermata, in which a guy has a device to arrest time and cop an illicit feel or two? Although being a Sandler project, I doubt it’ll be as sexually explicit or skeevy as the Baker story.
::checks with IMDB…::
Some posters on their boards for Click have already related it to a short story by R.L. Stine, the children’s author.
Not for me, thanks. Maybe a rental in the future, but I doubt it. Sandler’s not really my cup of tea.
:smack: Confusing it a tad with Baker’s Vox, which is also skeevy but is of novella length. At 320 pages, Fermata’s a longish haul for its premise.
When you see the swimming pool scene … that’s the pool where I take my kids! It’s the family pool at the UCLA rec center and last summer they had it shut down for a week or so for filming. They put in a lot of plants and flowers to make it look prettier, but after they were done filming they took them all away again … 
Life’s too short to watch Adam Sandler movies.
I concur.
The problem with lots of famous people is that after a while they just stop trying. The problem with Adam Sandler is that he did start trying.
I actually like Adam Sandler a lot, but this just looks like another lame family comedy that is too heartwarming to be funny. When Sandler starts playing half-wits again, I’ll see his movies, but not when he’s playing an “overworked dad with a heart of gold.”
Punch Drunk Love was one of the best movies from that year. Spanglish was also very good.
I when a good writer and director get ahold of Sandler… I don’t think this movie fits that at all.
Uh oh. I just saw a commercial for Click, and the only reviewer quote they showed was from the infamous Earl Dittman. That sure doesn’t speak very well for the movie so far…
Apparenntly Sony owes me 10 bucks. How do I go about collecting this?
And as for the stop-time-to-cop-a-feel angle, the first thing that came to my mind was Spider Robinson’s Lady Slings the Booze
I think the concept for this movie is the same one that goes through the mind of anyone who just gets a Tivo or DVR - “Wow, I wish I had one of these for real life!” I know that’s what I thought, and two years later, I still think it, especially when I realize I wish I’d paid more attention to something someone was saying. Although I don’t want that FF as much as the commercials indicate. But after I see this movie, in a year or so from Netflix - I’ll probably have more everyday uses in mind.
