Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 Anyone see this movie yet? I saw it last night and was quite surprised at how serious the movie got towards the end. I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it yet, but I think that this is easily one of Sandler's best movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sideburnious 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 I love Sandler (mainly his early stuff) but I wasn't really impressed by the trailer. On what you said though I'll probably enjoy checking it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 The movie actually has a serious life message at the end of the film, and most surpirsingly there were scenes in the movie that actually had some of the people in the theater with tears in their eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 Looks like another typical Sandler affair. I feel for the guy, though. He tried to branch out and get away from the stale character he's basically played in all of his movies and it got crapped on by his so-called fans (re: Punch Drunk Love).

syxx2001 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 A serious message towards the end isnt something I didnt expect. I suppose the movie came off as Bruce Almighty 1.4?? Not that thats a bad thing cause I dont really care, Imma see the movie regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster Report post Posted June 24, 2006 Yeah, people were crying towards the end at the theater where I saw it too. I really liked it. One of Sandler's best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted June 27, 2006 Was this the same idea as the hilarious Weird Science episode that featured the remote control? Which reminds me Scream used the same concept for a movie that Weird Science used for one of their episodes as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2006 I saw it last night. I disagree with most of you and thought it kind of sucked. I'd give it *1/2 out of *****. It was an incredibly unfocused screenplay with actors on cruise control throughout. It was like they had two different scripts; one wacky typical Sandler comedy and a melodrama with a message. I thought if they wanted to do a melodrama, they should have gotten a better actor than Sandler and if they wanted to do a wacky Sandler movie they should have lightened it up a bit. I also thought the dramatic scenes felt forced. Don't get me wrong, I'm a pretty big Sandler fan and I admire him for taking chances with his projects but this one just didn't do it for me. I thought the premise was a decent one ( a remote control that controls your entire life) but the execution rather poor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markme123 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 I dunno, I think Sandler is a good actor when he wants to be and he did good. I too was suprised how dramatic it got. Heck, I cried at the end. I wasn't expecting that at all. Good stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2006 Click. Never seen PDL Resist the pressure, Bob. So many people on this board made it sound like the best movie ever, but I was sorely disappointed when I finally saw it. Maybe I just couldn't align myself to its unique style of quirkiness, but I absolutely don't get what was so great about this movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NYankees Report post Posted July 1, 2006 I just read that David Cassidy from the Partridge Family's daughter is in the movie click. She plays the daughter all grown up at the end. I also read that she is dating that loser Jesse Mccartney. So fuck her. Click wasn't that bad of a movie but you knew the ending was going to be a feel good ending at the end with a second chance.

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2006 This movie brought tears to my eyes. Seriously. It feels like two different movies, like an hour long unfunny Sandler film and then 30-40 minutes of amazingly well-written, sad, but awesome film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's heavily disguised in his cameo surprisingly. I didn't even recognize that it was him until his scene was almost over. He played some Saudi prince named Prince Habubi, that Sandler made fun of his name. As you can guess, the cameo was HI-LARIOUS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
