To help Ruff's "AL BUNDY" comment, having the story focus on an architector helps IMO, because it gives a certain balance where you have money but aren't exactly living the life, you can have risks, even in 2006, of things going too bad for someone with that wealth. Not to mention, and of course you can NOT like it anyway, i feel that's the point.
If you make the story about someone that's actually struggling financially, the message would be somewhat tainted since he would be probably too relatable. Yeah, family is first, and that includes the reality of sustaining them. But here, by making him someone that's clearly OKAY financially but lets ambition blind him of those around him, it helps assure that the message of "work is not worth taking your family for granted" stay pure.
In many ways Click is the kind of film that just overstates its welcome, because very quickly into the film, you KNOW what it's about, you know what the MC needs to learn and how easy it is for things to fall apart, because the movie also doesn't hesitate on showing how much of a piece of shit one can be when taking the mindset of just being on auto-pilot with your family, taking them for granted as Ruff said, and only caring about financial success, which yeah, it's important, not more important tho.
There's a reason why most people love the film BECAUSE of the last third, where it stops being just comedy and becomes an absolute pull on your heart strings and teaches the lesson, which i think is what saves the movie, you see the man dying and going through it in a painful way just to show that he learned his lesson, which i think makes it work better than with Bree's example, Shrek 4.
Click is such a masterpiece of a movie. This movie came out when I was 11 years old. I didn't realize how deep it was at that age. I envy people watching it for the first time especially as adults, or at least an age where they can understand the film. Being unaware of the ending you get to ride through that rollercoaster of emotions with the main character. He still loved his wife and kids, but because he prioritized and obsessed over his work, every other facet of his life suffered when he fastforwarded. Imagine realizing on autopilot, you never changed. Whatever was most important to you, stayed that way. Everything else left on the backburner.
Don't even get me started on that scene of the last time he saw his father alive. How angry he got at himself for not caring about his sons designs, and not caring about his father and how he hurt him? My god, it'd litterally be like living a nightmare. I mean, it wasn't really his fault. People change everyday, but on autopilot, he was stuck. Never changing, never improving, except in his work since that was what was most important.
Ya'll should def watch Just go with it with Adam Sandler
I don't think it's really fair to fully blame him for the autopilot. Yes, it was just "executing [his] preferences" as Morty put it, but he was only choosing work over his family in the moment, not intentionally as a lifestyle choice, and as soon as it started significantly skipping through his life, he wanted it to stop. My read on it is that the remote was showing him the path he was headed down. He was already a moderately crappy guy, but I don't think he was too far gone yet, and the remote was just giving him the wake up call he needed to set his priorities straight before he became the complete piece of crap that the autopilot version of him was.
I'd love to see you react to the 1998 movie Pleasantville. Similar themes but a lot more on the commedy side.
If I had gotten that remote I would have immediately gone to the settings and made sure everything was how I wanted it to be
For me I'd be very interested what was on the other channels.
That is indeed Rob Schneider in brown face playing Prince Habeebo
I actually live my life by this movies lessons. This had a really strong emotional impact on me when I was younger, now I ALWAYS prioritize my wife and daughter. The time I have with my family is the most valuable thing in the world to me
Man, you guys are so unforgiving. lol
Everyone makes mistakes, some worse than others. In this case, he's a man trying to make a mark so he can better provide for his family, but doesn't cope with the stress and workload well. There are many people like him. Yes, his actions are his responsibility, but why shouldn't he get a chance at redemption? The whole point of the movie is that once outside his bubble, he 100% knew he had been acting like a schmuck. It's not like he was defending his actions. That's why he deserved a second chance.
This MIGHT be my favorite Adam Sandler movie. I went in thinking it'd be just another comedy, but it ended up having some serious drama moments, not to mention the ability to pull the heartstrings.
yeah haven't watched this one as much the only adam sandler movie i have watched a bunch a while ago with family was the cobbler
"This movie should have been called 'Watching a Man be an Asshole for an Hour'." I thought that's what all of Adam Sandlers movies were called.
Speaking of universal remotes, there are sonic screwdriver remotes and I want one! I WANNA FEEL LIKE THE DOCTOR!!!
I will never forget seeing this in theaters with my father. My sisters and I went with my dad after he had been distant with us after he got remarried. He was trying to reconnect with us and wanted to see a funny movie. It was the most awkward n funnist shit ever. 🤣
Anger Management is another good Sandler film
one of Adam Sandlers best films
I think the whole point of shrek 4 and this movie isnt so much that we were supposed to fee bad for them, its more that they needed the reality check. Shrek 4 was essentially him going through a mid life crisis, where he no longer felt like the person he once was and sometimes that can be a bad thing, but he projected his insecurities and was overwhelmed and lashed out at the wrong person. Where as in this movie, Michael was a bad person, because he chose the wrong things to prioritize and hate to break it you, but it also happens in real life where human beings dont understand how privleged they really are, and need to be reminded that there life could be allot worse. At least with this movie, they more or else give him a simulation of what his life would be, where as with shrek it just completely erased the timeline where he said the things he said. But theyre arent bad movies in any regard.
If you guys want to do another "grown up problems" Adam Sandler movie I recommend Spanglish. I think it's one of his more underrated movies
Yeah I’d say this hasn’t aged well but it wasn’t all that well received when it came out either
Bri’s take on this whole movie was so strange. Like- him being an asshole and an idiot was the entire point.
So I can’t call him out for being so? Lol
I think he is essentially supposed to be Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol, but for normal 20th/21st century people.
She said in the Discord that she didn't buy how fast he transitioned from being a jerk to being sympathetic.
Interesting as that’s more or less because his change is fast because of the shock of skipping his & his kids life. I think that was the point of emotional shock. Which can happen
I will always love that Sean just can't help yelling 'HENRY WINKLER...COVERED IN BEES!'
Its something I look forward to in videos lol
Watching this as an adult just makes me realize what an idiot Sandler's character is in this. There is a very simple solution to his problem at the start of the movie that doesn't involve skipping time. Pause when you have to work (like when he's building the model and working on the plans at the start of the movie) and resume when you're done. You get through all of your work and still get to spend time with your family, hell, you get more time with your family at this point. You can also pause before you go to bed so you wake up refreshed and still have the extra 8 hours.
Oh my god I didn't realize Laurel Lance from Arrow/OG Ruby from Supernatural was the adult version of the daughter in this.
Funny! I'm on my first watch of Supernatural and when I got to her as Ruby, I shouted, "LAUREL!"
The trope of the workaholic dad not spending enough time with his family was a common trope throughout that era, and this film to some degree is considered the better of those next to Liar Liar. This is also considered one of the more decent Adam Sandler comedies. I know you guys siad you still enjoyed it but its kind of wild that you have more complaints about this than something like Little Nicky lol.
It's even more interesting that Boom brings up how some of these comedies from the late 90s to early 2000s have their flaws you can pick at, but those comments seem to be absent with movies like the scary movie films and the aforementioned Little Nicky 😆😆 .
Regardless I get it, although I still to this day disagrees with y'all's Shrek 4 take (which don't even get me started on that😆 ). Bree mentions how Shrek was a trash bag throughout that whole film is inaccurate, he's only a trash bag in one big scene and the rest of the film is him trying to fix or ready to live with the consequences of his actions much similar to this film and I'd argue Shrek 4 is much better, even though I think this film is decent in the first half and good in the second half 😅 😅.
I feel this movie doesn't work with a lower income job because it shifts the work obsession from ambition to survival. You can't really dunk a moral lesson like this on the audience, if the main character is genuinely struggling to make ends meet to support his family. Like imagine if Michael was trying to get a district manager job at a supermarket, and was living in an apartment with two kids and a wife, and by the end of the movie they're like, "see audience, you don't know what you got till it's gone. be grateful." everyone who knows what its like to struggle would feel the whole message would be some pie in the sky bs. Because the reality for some people is the moment they let their foot of the gas, eviction, power shut off, water shut off, unpaid credit card bill, unpaid car insurance, ect. With Michael's job we can indulge in the idea that he can afford to take it easy.
Yeah, with this story I think you are right, the message could easily get lost. The Princess and the Frog is actually a good example of how this same lesson still applies even when circumstances are more dire, "My daddy never did get what he wanted... but he had what he needed!"
Hardest cry I've had in a while
Every time I used to see a Bed Bath & Beyond (RIP) I would think of this movie lol
It's still somewhat around 😅.
Oh my goodness you guys pointing out Cameron Monaghan played the neighbors kid just made me realize he played Chad in Malcom in the middle and all these years I never realized
y'all... ain't about someone learning that the way they treat life... is wrong? Like yeah.. he was a POS. He had to learn that. People have to learn that, sometimes.
They reacted the same way when they kept shitting on Heaven throughout Hazbin S2 even though almost all the residents had no idea the Exterminations were a thing
It feels like sometimes they get caught up in the experience and want to see punitive action rather than redemptive action.
It's not punitive action. Very often these movies are a get out of jail free card. These only focus on the redemption of the character while no empathy is given to the people who treats poorly throughout.
I think the movie may not have presented it clearly enough-- but there never really was a magic remote and Michael is not supposed to seem redeemable -- quite the opposite in fact. You aren't supposed to feel bad for him-- you are supposed to despise him and fear becoming him. Michael is a stand-in for the viewer, to push people watching to examine how they prioritize their time.
It's like Scrooge in A Christmas Carol learning to value the 'spirit of Christmas' (love, family, etc) over greed and his own bitterness. We aren't supposed to believe that three magic ghosts turned a rich old man's life around-- we are supposed to use it examine our own lives and learn to be better people.
Click is actually based on a 1940s radio drama where the "remote" was a pocket watch that fast-forwarded time but couldn't take you backwards-- which I believe was itself based on old folktales (but I'm less familiar with that -- I know about the radio drama because I was a very weird kid who had old radio shows on cassette and CD)
I only watched this once. And that had been plenty. I tried watching it later and never got far, because it was indeed hard and he is just a shitty person. Though sharing trauma is always fun, so I appreciate that part at least.
Paused on the dad's tombstone and all I can see is Theodore K Mullins. If anyone watches New Girl you'll get the reference lol
I knew I recognized Michael's mom's voice! How am I just now finding out she's the voice of Marge Simpson?!
Hi guys, can you react to another destination movies? And the movie 2012 it’s really good.
I wouldn't be FF through work I'd pause do the work then resume play. H can still interact with stuff and affect things while time is stopped. The only question is would you still age while everything else is on pause?
Are you guys going to react to The Mighty Nein episode 4 and 5?
They've already done up to episode 6 at least in the Diamond tier.
Now if they just watch Longest Yard or Waterboy that would round up my favorite Adam Sandler movies
The Longest Yard is so much fun!
Now I'm curious what ya'll would think of Bedtime Stories, an oddly similar Adam Sandler movie from the same A-Hole redemption bunch of movies.
I hadn't seen this movie in forever, now I understand why Erik said he was traumatized jfc
Ya’ll gotta watch 50 First Dates next
Omg yes please do
Rob Schneider doing brownface...yeah
That was his whole career for like a decade
It’s been a day…I needed this release. Thanks for the waterworks, Erik. 😭😭😭
You guys would love the "Grown Ups" movies that Adam Sandler did; they are fantastic
Also the woman who plays Adam Sandler's mom is also the voice of Marge on the Simpsons.
I thought I recognized her!
Amazing movie, watched probably dozens of times growing up. I think this one would be my fourth or fifth favorite.
Jonah Hill has the most random cameo in this movie.
To be fair, this was one of his earliest parts (it's his 7th credit on IMDB) so he was still basically a nobody at this point.
This was a little bit before he became a huge star 🤔.
I'd watch a video of you guys making a treehouse 🤣
Yes! Im so haopy you guys are watching this. I've been waiting for a few different reactors I watch to watch this
Well, time to cry!
