Another crude Adam Sandler movie; not for tweens.

What parents need to know
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").
What's the story?
In CLICK, ambitious architect named Michael (Adam Sandler) doesn't spend enough time with his wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale) and two kids. Pressed into yet more overtime by his obnoxious boss Ammer (David Hasselhoff), Michael finally becomes desperate and agrees to take home a magic "universal remote" from the obviously odd Morty ( Christopher Walken), a mad-scientist-type technician who's hidden in a back room in Bed, Bath & Beyond (the room is marked "Way Beyond"). Morty has changed Michael's options: The remote allows him to fast-forward, rewind, search by chapter, and freeze-frame his life. Soon he finds himself short-cutting more than an occasional argument with Donna or a long work weekend, and skips entire years, at which point he learns the costs of ignoring his family, his health, and any semblance of a moral conscience.
Is it any good?
Goofy and crude, Click is one more Adam Sandler movie where he learns the same lesson again. If you've seen any other Sandler comedy (especially others also directed by his buddy Frank Coraci), you know what this lesson is: He must grow up and appreciate the beautiful woman who forgives all kinds of childish behaviors.
While the point is clear enough, it's so blatant and comes at such a high price – putdowns, relentless childish jokes about sex (including one involving a dog repeatedly "humping" a stuffed duck), not to mention an extended fart joke -- that you feel rather battered by film's end. Some of the physical antics might amuse tween boys, but the crude material makes even that seem too costly.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the film's "message" concerning the value of family and interpersonal relationships over work and career. They can also talk about why Adam Sandler's brand of raunchy comedy is so popular. What is the appeal of a movie like this?

Perfect for older teens and a really funny movie
This is perfect for older teens that love Adam Sandler. I have always loved him and this is just one of the many movies that he's good in. It gives a positive message about not wasting away life and to spend your life being with family and to cherish moments. Even though this is no surprise, this being an Adam Sandler movie, there's lots of sexual humor, a couple sexual scenes, and this movie has really bad language. I put that messages aren't positive and that they are because Michael (Adam Sandler) is very self absorbed and doesn't care about spending time with his family. He doesn't have any respect for the children next door, and is constantly throughout the movie making fun of them. The kids are mean to his kids, but it isn't a positive message. Even though at the end of the movie he realizes how much you should cherish life, which is a positive message. The role models aren't good either.

Cool
WAY too much language but extremely funny movie. The hospital scenes might scare kids under 10, even though they really shouldn't be watching the movie anyway.

Not one of Adam sandler's best films!!!
I didn't like the film. Christopher Walken was enjoyable, but the rest of the film drags even though it stars Adam Sandler. The film is way too mutch for little kids.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE, BUT PRETTY CRUDE AND NOT FOR KIDS
this movie is hilarious, but lots of sexual content, profanity (including a very funny "f--k") and some drug references("daddy, were you smoking crack?"). but besides that, a great comedy.
