People are raving over Adam Sandler film that ‘completely changes’ in second half

Different movies will stay with people for different reasons.

For me, Gremlins will always give me the creeps. My friend's mom put it on for us as kids not knowing that it was a comedy horror, and it's safe to say that I ended up having nightmares for weeks.

And, while Adam Sandler is best known for some of his rib-tickling comedies, there's one that's still hitting people in the feels to this day.

"The first half and second halves are completely different films," one person wrote.

Another added: "Man, that movie has some heart wrenching moments."

A third penned: "This movie had me crying over and over, and then laughing over and over. Honestly this is my favourite Sandler movie."

Released back in 2006, Click had all the makings of your usual Sandler classic.

The film boasted an all star cast with Kate Beckinsale, Christopher Walken and Jonah Hill, and seem to have the usual comedic value that his movies do.

But there was a twist to Click that many viewers at the time didn't expect.

It's synopsis reads: "Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) seems to have it all but his wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), is increasingly frustrated by the amount of time he has to spend at work.

"Michael cannot find time to be at home until he meets an eccentric inventor (Christopher Walken) who gives him a universal remote that controls time.

"At first he happily skips the boring times until he realizes the remote is in control of his life and he learns to cherish all the precious moments with his family."

The new remote initially seems to make Michael's life easier, until he fast forwards through most of his life - causing a lot of heartbreak on the way.

While fast forwarding his life, he misses his father's death.

There's one scene in particular with his dad (Henry Winkler) that would make even the most stoic of people shed a tear.

In the clip that he rewinds back after learning about his dad's death, Michael is still a workaholic and says he's too busy to go out for lunch with his father and son.

But little did he know that was the last time he'd see his pops.

Before leaving, his dad tells him he loves him - but Michael doesn't respond.

Future Michael (who is also there but can't be seen) then rewinds time to pause his dad in front of him so that he could say that he loved him back.

But it was too late at that point as his dad's last memory of his son will him being rude and dismissive towards him.

Is someone cutting onions?

"I thought this was one of the most juvenile movies ever made until it got to this part," said one viewer of the scene between Michael and his father.

Click is available to stream on HBO Max, Peacock and Tubi.
