2K Replay: CLICK

 by Adam Riske

Nominated for “Best Makeup” at the Academy Awards. It lost to Pan’s Labyrinth.

• Best Scene/Moment: Not much to choose from so I guess anytime Christopher Walken shows up. He and Adam Sandler have good chemistry.

• Best Song: “Someday” by The Strokes.

• Best Merch: A “Click Movie Premiere Promo Baseball Black Visor New” for $29.97. It makes sense to me that there were Click visors because the type of dude who would go up to you and rave about Click probably would wear a visor -- backwards and upside down.

• Director Grade: Click was directed by Frank Coraci.
Great Movies: The Wedding Singer
Good Movies: N/A
OK Movies: The Waterboy, Around the World in 80 Days
Bad Movies: Click
Unseen By Me: Murdered Innocence, Zookeeper, Here Comes the Boom, Blended, The Ridiculous 6, Hot Air
Overall Grade: C+

• Double It with This 2006 Movie: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

• Year 2006 Movies to Trailer Before Them: The Benchwarmers, Grandma’s Boy, Underworld: Evolution

• Ella McCay or Click? Ella McCay

• Mall Movie? This is one of the classier Adam Sandler comedies but not enough to play the fancy theater in town. This would still play at the mall.

• Only in 2006: A movie about a universal remote.

• Scene Stealer: Christopher Walken.

• I Miss: 2000s comedies. In hindsight, it was a pretty great era (era).

• I Don’t Miss (tie): Rob Schneider playing ethnicities other than his own and the truly terrifying de-aging makeup on Julie Kavner and Henry Winkler.

• 2006 Crush: Kate Beckinsale.

• 2026 Crush: Kate Beckinsale.

• What I Thought in 2006: Adam Sandler comedies are usually either hilarious or bad with few in between. I remember being disappointed by Click back in 2006. It was surprisingly serious and not all that funny.

• What I Think in 2026: I was right. This movie’s ambitious so I’ll give it that, but it’s also boring and surprisingly depressing despite the happy It’s a Wonderful Life ending. I’m a fan of some 2000s Sony Adam Sandler comedies, but Click is not one of them.
