Click is a 2006 American comedy film[1] directed by Frank Coraci, written by Steve Koren and Mark O'Keefe, both of whom produced with Jack Giarraputo, Neal H. Moritz, and Adam Sandler, who also starred in the lead role.

The film co-stars Kate Beckinsale, Christopher Walken, Henry Winkler, David Hasselhoff, Julie Kavner, and Sean Astin.

Sandler plays Michael Newman, a workaholic family man who acquires a magical universal remote that enables him to control reality.

In 2006, architect Michael Newman is consistently taken advantage of by his overbearing boss, John Ammer, and often prioritizes work over his wife Donna and their children Ben and Samantha.

Feeling like he has disappointed his family, he uses the remote to skip ahead in order to get the promotion but discovers that he has missed out on an entire year of his life.

In 2023, Donna recounts that Michael was diagnosed with cancer after the injury and suffered a heart attack during chemotherapy but has recovered and recently had liposuction, and she is now married to Bill.

As he celebrates being home, Michael finds the remote sitting on his kitchen counter and a note from Morty saying "I know you’ll do the right thing this time."

On July 23, 2003, Sony Pictures purchased Steve Koren and Mark O'Keefe's spec script Click for $1.75 million, with plans for it to be an Adam Sandler film produced by Revolution Studios, Columbia Pictures, and Neal H. Moritz's company Original Film; the purchase occurred as Bruce Almighty (2003), also written by Koren and O'Keefe, had grossed $236 million domestically in its two-month run.

[7] Although Sony planned filming to begin in April 2004 after Sandler finished shooting Spanglish (2004),[7] that was postponed for Koren and O'Keefe to rewrite the script under the supervision of Juan José Campanella, who was announced as director in May 2004.

[11] In order to make the fast-forwarding and rewinding look DVD-like, effects of interlaced video and scan lines "slicing through" were added.

"[12] Other interactive features and pages were added later on, such as a plot summary, image gallery, information about the cast and crew, audio and video clips, and a Control Your Universe poster generator.

[23] Groups of viewers outside the young male demographic were also higher than previous Sandler films;[24] Sony's exit polls showed 51% of attendees being female and 50% over the age of 25.

[25] Strowbridge predicted that in its second weekend, Click would fall 50% and gross $20 million due to intense competition with Superman Returns.

[26] However, while Click grossed approximately that amount and got dethroned by the superhero film as expected by analysts, what wasn't anticipated was that The Devil Wears Prada would open with double the gross initially projected; as a result, The Devil Wears Prada made $27.5 million in three days and placed Click in the number-three spot.

The average score is a 4.78/10, and the consensus is: "This latest Adam Sandler vehicle borrows shamelessly from It's a Wonderful Life and Back to the Future, and fails to produce the necessary laughs that would forgive such imitation.

[39][40] Entertainment Weekly critic Lisa Schwarzbaum wrote Click failed at being It's a Wonderful Life because "Michael earns none of George Bailey’s mature wisdom honestly.

"[42] When it came to positive reviews, Newsweek claimed Click was predictable as a moral story but "unusually dark, occasionally touching and pretty funny" for a Sandler comedy.
