Weekend Watch: Click [2006 Comedy/Fantasy]

Adam Sandler’s Click is more than just another comedy—it’s a heartfelt reminder to cherish the little moments in life. Directed by Frank Coraci, this 2006 film follows Michael Newman, a workaholic architect who stumbles upon a magical universal remote that lets him pause, fast-forward, and rewind through life. While it sounds like a dream come true, Michael soon learns the cost of skipping through the very moments that make life meaningful.

One of the standout scenes features The Strokes’ “Someday,” playing as Michael reflects on the life he’s been fast-forwarding through. The song’s wistful lyrics—“In many ways, they’ll miss the good old days / Someday, someday”—perfectly underscore the film’s central theme: the fleeting nature of time and the importance of living in the moment. It’s a rare pairing of music and narrative that elevates the emotional weight of the story.

Sandler brings his signature humor to the role, but what sets Click apart is its emotional depth. From laugh-out-loud moments with Christopher Walken’s eccentric Morty to tear-jerking scenes of realization and regret, the movie strikes a balance that lingers long after the credits roll. Kate Beckinsale also shines as Michael’s patient and loving wife, grounding the story in the relationships that matter most.

Click is a perfect pick for the holiday season, offering a message that feels especially poignant this time of year: slow down, be present, and treasure your loved ones. It’s a funny, heartwarming, and sometimes bittersweet reminder to live in the moment.

So grab some popcorn, settle in, and let Click—and The Strokes—remind you that someday, you’ll look back and realize these are the moments that mattered most. 🎬
