    Another crude Adam Sandler movie. For fans only.

Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 14–15

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Though he reforms by the end, Michael is selfish, crude, and calculatedly cruel throughout, picking on rivals, children, and his boss.
  • Violence:

    Injuries played for laughs. Michael kicks Bill in the crotch repeatedly and slaps his boss in the face; someone says he wants to slit his wrists; someone wants to use a sword to cut his "d--k off" a heart attack leads to frantic pain for Michael.
  • Sex:

    Sight gag has remote "erect" under Michael's pants; repeated jokes/images of dogs "humping" stuffed animal; reference to "porno," jokes about Michael's "shmeckel," fast-motion sex shown as shadow; allusions to "boobies," a jokey office lecture about sexual harassment includes reference to one as a "slut" Michael slows a jogger to watch her breasts bounce; Jeanine is repeatedly "horny," gag about a woman who undergoes a sex change; Michael tells Marty he doesn't "play for that team" (thinking he's being seduced); jokes about Britney Spears having her 23rd baby and a cloned Michael Jackson "molesting himself."
  • Language:

    Multiple (more than 10) uses of s-word; several uses of "ass," one f-word; one cut-off "holy motherf-----r" and one obscene finger gesture; repeated use of "shmeckel" (baby Michael's penis); lots of other profanity.
  • Consumerism:

    Vendors named or displayed include: McDonald's, TiVo, Staples, Best Buy, Bed, Bath & Beyond, TGI Friday's; products (named and pictured) include: Hostess Twinkies, Yodels, and cupcakes, Bose, Chuck Taylor high-tops, Cup Noodles, Speedo, Lucky Charms, Coca-Cola.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Wine, liquor, and beer drinking, cigar-smoking; references to drugs (acid, crack, marijuana, morphine), image of someone smoking hashish.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Click

Parents need to know that this film includes repeated crude references to sexual activity and desire. These jokes range from sexual activity in fast-motion to the magical remote posing as the protagonist's erect penis. Violence is broadly comic, including a couple of scenes where the protagonist "freeze-frames" an adversary, then beats or kicks him, as well as some falling and slamming of children (the protagonist runs over a child's toy on purpose). The film pushes the envelope on PG-13 language, including one pronounced f-word and another that's cut off (after "mother").

    Explicit for a PG-13 movie

    Click, while having its rare moments of hilarity, is a movie mixed with explicit sexual situations and heavy emotional moments. While being rated PG-13, it has many sexual references and jokes that do not go unnoticed to young viewers. The lack of subtlety in this movie is so great, that it most definitely is not for kids under 13.

    Adam Sandler for President!!

    Click is one of the best and most funny movies I've ever seen. It's great because it has comedy, a little sexual stuff (like the dogs), and a tiny bit of drama/sadness. For anybody who hasn't seen it I suggest you watch this hilarious movie by Adam Sandler.

    This movie may hava some bad language, but I think a lot of it's there for a good reason. The filmakers are trying to show how much the main character is stressed and hates his life. There is also a little sexuality that might be inapropriate for young kids. Click is also really amusing. It's really funny in the begining, and I cried in the end. It has a really good message about the importance of family. All in all, I think this movie isn't for young children, but it's a great movie for parents to watch with their pre-teen or teenage kids.

    i really dontknow wat to say

    this movie...ok i really dont know. i have verry mixed emotions about it. the first half...like starts out very funny..but then dies away...but then it starts throwing out occasional funny gags (example the james earl jones joke) but then it turns into a sad drama. It was okay i liked the second half more than the first. it couldnt choose watt it wanted to be making it a very uneven comedy. but its not like it didnt have its moments so go see it on video.

    Best Movie Ever?

    I loved this movie! It has a great ending. I cried throughout. But it has a graet message. i strongly advise that if your child is under 14...watch it with them. This movie is full of innapropriate material. But it's a great movie and if you haven't seen it I strongly advise that you do!

    Made me sad

    This is such a COOL premise! We really wanted to like this movie more than we did. Adam's snide humor and the juvenile jokes and "violence" (slapping, running over toys with cars, crotch-kicking) were to be expected, and some were funny. However, they were aiming at heartwarming, and got it. But the layer of mean-spirited jokes and jabs at fat people and women who were any less than Barbie-doll beautiful took the life out of it for us. There was an awful lot of sexual humor that went over our son's head (10), but he got the running gag about the dog humping the stuffed toy. The futuristic styling was cool, but the plot was all downhill. Of all the funny and interesting things Adam Sandler could do with a "Universal Remote," his character chose to throw his life away. I suppose what we got out of it was a new conversational gambit: "What would YOU do if you had a 'Universal Remote'?"
