Click from 2006 is not generally considered Adam Sandler's best movie by critics, but it is considered one of his most emotionally impactful and beloved by audiences, which creates a divided reputation. Critically, Sandler's highest rated films are usually Punch-Drunk Love, Uncut Gems, and Hustle for dramatic work, and Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and The Wedding Singer for classic comedy. Click received mixed reviews, with a 33 percent on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, who felt the comedy was uneven, but it scored much higher with audiences who connected with its surprisingly dark and sentimental story about work-life balance, mortality, and family. Many fans rank Click in their personal top three Sandler movies because it makes them cry and has a meaningful message about not fast-forwarding through life, unlike his pure slapstick films. It was also a major box office hit, grossing over 240 million dollars. So while it is not considered his best by critical consensus, it is often cited as his most underrated, most touching, and most rewatchable film for family audiences.
