This one and 50 first dates are two of his best. If y'all haven't, I strongly recommend Stardust with Robert Deniro? Another one like this movie that is surprisingly incredible
@@pyrpyr5Wolf a fellow of class and distinguished taste I see. I'd totally freak right out if they saw this and actually watched it! ready willing and able!!
Also, Ive never wanted to hug an extremely muscled man that I've never actually met in person before as I did watching Oaks reaction to the ending " family comes first" scene. And during the scene of the last time he saw his dad alive. Those two were honestly some of the heaviest, heart wrenching scenes of any movie I've ever seen. I fekin bawled. Like ugly ugly crying. Only reason I can even make it through those scenes now is I know there's a happy ending coming. I mean it made me tear up a little just typing this up!! Much love and big manly bear hugs to all three of you awesome dudes. (Fourth one for Dave, even though he was off camera for this one)
I think it’s because the hit to miss ratio on the jokes is too low for how crass and juvenile the jokes are. It just amplified every bad joke and it’s very much 2000s humor in a way a lot of his best movies aren’t.
It's crazy this movie came up on the TV a few months ago on an old channel, I barely watch TV these days but I was bored on that given day so just laid down in bed to watch, halfway through the movie I laughed here and there and just thought "what a silly movie this is" little did I know by the end the movie had me thinking some deep thoughts 😂
Didn't they get nominated or win an award for makeup special effects? The aging of the characters back and forth was nominated for something I believe. A LOT of good movies came out in 2006
@@Amused_Comfort_IncIt was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Makeup, yes! I remember being younger and watching it with my mom and her commenting on just how real the makeup looked.
I have a hunch that you’re a patron🤔 PLEASE, get the movie ”Envy” with Ben Stiller and Jack Black on to a poll! Doesn’t get much more underrated than that :D
This is TOP TIER Adam Sandler. You get to feel parts of all his movies with this one film! You cry, laugh, love and then wanna redo it again! This goes to the theme of the movie to be frank!!!
Sandler is so underrated just because his comedy isn't everyone's cup of tea. But his story telling is so good. Even his ridiculous stuff packs a punch, and I think a lot of people missed that part.
Even the driest of humor is lost on my parents, so I loved watching the absolute ridiculous schlep-stick comedy from Sandler as an outlet growing up. Even his most ridiculously stupid 90s flicks are still comfort movies for me to this day.
yeah, unironically 'Just Go With It' and 'Blended' are one of my top 5 Romantic Comedies. He does surprisingly well with the family and romance genres.
To The Oak’s point around 49:26, absolutely. As someone who watched it when I was a teenager, I liked it. But I’m 34 now, and have lost both my parents and watching it again, it hits WAY different. I don’t have kids, but I imagine it’s just as if not even more different.
I rewatched this one a couple of months ago, it just hits different when you're older. I caught myself sobbing when Sam said he couldn't die cuz he promised to live 200 years, letting people you love down that's what is really scary for me.
I appreciate the honesty in y'alls reactions! No over the top fake laughter or the constant need to tell jokes in which they miss real jokes or plot lines. Thank You for being REAL!!! Love y'all and wish you the best!!!
Agreed. I usually dislike reactors that feature more than one reactor largely because of what you said: multiple-person reactions, most of the time, make the reactors talk to each/one another often, resulting in them missing details. Badd Medicine isn’t that way, and I love it.
I'm honestly ashamed to say... that the dozens of times I've watched this film... the solution of paushing rather than fast-forwarding literally never occurred to me. lol You guys are totally right that that would have obviously been better, and even if he hadn't chosen to give up the remote in the end, he could have just used the pause feature on some of those family moments even, just to pause and really look at his young kids and his wife and his parents and his life. Damn, I feel stupid for never realizing it before.
This is a Trojan Horse of a movie. At first you think you're watching a by-the-numbers Adam Sandler film with an inexplicably hot wife and crass, gross-out comedy. BUT THEN you find yourself punched through the gut with a devastating portrayal of grief, regret, and death. For me, this is Sandler's best film. Bar none.
I love Adam Sandler as a person. Maybe I'm a bit biased for the reason that we both grew up in the northeast. But he's an incredibly chill, unproblematic actor. And his movies are constantly hit or miss, but when he hits, he hits.
I remember that surveillance video that was going around a few years ago of him getting turned away at a restaurant because it was too full (he was wearing a mask, so I don't think the hostess recognized him). He just kind of nodded, accepted it, and left with his family. People were commending him because a lot of big name actors would have thrown their weight around, but he didn't. I've only ever heard good things about him from fan encounters.
@@wolfywox Yeah, it's almost a ridiculous thing to see in the Hollywood business but they exist and we love them for it. He's just living his best life and I fully support his endeavors even though I'm not a fan of the poop jokes lol
This was basically the only "life and choices" focused movie I watched growing up that I was able to understand and make me cry, absolutely fantastic film
This movie is so criminally underrated it’s crazy. Gut busting laughs, great and fun original story, awesome cast and so emotional at the same time. This is in my top 5 Sandler movies
If you really want to see an emotional Adam Sandler movie try Reign Over Me with him and Don Cheadle. He made me cry like a baby. Spanglish is another good one.
ikr...i was waiting to hear THIS film title when they pulled up the info & 😔 it didn't come up for some reason. ...and yeah, sure - Punch Drunk Love & Spanglish are okay (personally BOTH are just 💁🏻♀️ eh IMO) but Reign Over Me is like : if the intensity of Uncut Gems (minus the chaos / panic attack that Uncut is) & the emotion (or heart) of THIS film had a baby)!
I stupidly gave this a miss for years, I thought it was another goofy movie among the years of Sandler's down period, I was an idiot. When I finally watched it I sobbed, and I definitely took the message on board ♥
We need an It’s A Wonderful Life reaction around Christmas time! 😂 Also, it was really nice to hear some personal backstories to learn more about you guys. 🎉 keep up the good times!
The same story kinda worked the other way 'round with Schwarzenegger. People knew him only as an actor in action movies. Then he started doing comedies, and people who expected to see him in another action movie were disappointed - at first. Today? Nobody has problems with Arnie doing comedy anymore. Sandler was only known as a comedian. So, of course his usual audience was not on board with more serious stuff. It took some time for his "old"audience (and also for a "new" audience _(which maybe didn't plan to see a Sandler movie priorly, because they didn't like his goofy stuff))_ to get used to that "new" Sandler.
Serious roles before this were, Punch Drunk Love, and Spanglish. More the first than the last. "Reign Over Me" was a year later in 2007 and my favorite Sandler serious role.
I was twelve when the movie came out, at a schoolfriend's birthday they put the movie on. I disliked all the crudeness, I didn't understand it, it was offputting (it still is a little). I rewatched it some years later, and I cry so hard every single time I watch it. I cried while watching you guys watch it. Because it is such a perfectly placed punch to the gut. Story wise it is set up perfectly for the emotional turmoil they create at the end. Not only do they slowly build up through his fast forwarding this discomfiting feeling of missing parts of your life, they then line up the punches of 1) he misses his dog dying 2) he misses his kids growing up 3) he misses divorcing his wife 4) he misses losing his dad 5) he loses his health and sees his son being on the same slippery slope as he took which caused all of the above. It's so gutwrenchingly sad. And I love it.
Love this movie, and when his father passed away killed me. And when my father passed away that scene absolutely kills me everytime cause I have so many things I wished I did with him. And today is actually the 9 year anniversary of his passing, so this movie reaction coming today hits hard. Thank you guys very much, you guys are the best!!!🎉
It was the marketing that hurt the movie. The advertising made it look like just another Sandler comedy, so people went in to laugh laugh laugh and got more of a deeper story, and people rated it based on it not being what they were sold. Imagine a gang of teens/20 somethings seeing commercials that made it look like the next Billy madison/Happy Gilmore and and you end up with a thought provoking deeper story, that really could only be fully appreciated as an older adult with a family...
As someone who’s lost their Dad, the scene where he keeps rewinding his Dad to hear him say I love you kills me. Half of this movie is silly but the back half has a lot of emotion.
People tend to really disrespect and underappreciate this movie, I guess because it was outside of what people consider Sandler's "prime" movie run. But this film gets me every time, the regret in his voice when he saw how much he hurt his father, man.
This was always one of my fav "more serious" Sandler movies cause it had a lot of tear jerker scenes. I feel like this was a transition film for his career. It's like he was telling Hollywood hey I can still be funny, but I can do some real drama acting as well. Thanks for reaction fellas!!!❤💞❤️
I'm on par with The Oak because my dad passed away from pneumonia when I was a senior in high school. This movie hits me hard every single time and I cry without fail since I miss him so much. I honor his memory by living life to the fullest as he did. Thank you for doing this reaction!
Christopher Walken is amazing in this film, it's such a hidden gem. Such a great film honestly👀 really great story with a very great and important message ! edit and wow the after discussion hits haard... very emotional especially when you of course have a personal connection to the topic🖤
My friend Isaiah and I went to see this in theaters as 14 and 15 year olds thinking it would be a hilarious Adam Sandler movie. Which it is. But we were confused why older people were crying. The older we got, the more we cried near the end. Love this movie
This film is one of the first that ever emotionally affected me, even as a kid. I think it may possibly be the best Sandler film ever made. To this day though... I can't help but contemplate how they not only found dogs to hump stuffed animals but to do it perfectly on cue. I'd have loved to see the casting calls for those dogs and trainers/handlers.
You'd be amazed by the things you can teach a dog that's motivated enough! I imagine with these dogs, they were already prone to humping, so they were just rewarded for that behavior when it involved the duck. 😅
I used to think Adam Sandler pulling all 10s in every one of his movies was unbelievable until I went to college. Funny guys with confidence have major pull. Illogical, but major, pull.
I'm sure I'm not alone in this, nor am I the first person to comment this, but it's so refreshing to see three men, that at first sight might seem to be the picture of machismo, see and talk about the emotional nuance in a film like this; it should be entirely normal for conversations to be had in such an emotionally open way, but it's not. Sharing these deep stories of Oak's father and his step-mother, the fight with his step-father, as well as Answer's stories of his father's health and his mother attending his wedding shortly before her passing, it's all so emotionally healthy to openly share these stories and emotions and to be able to cry in front of each other as well as their large audience without shame. I'm having a bit of head fog today so my words aren't coming to me so well, but I wanted to thank the members of Badd Medicine for being such wonderful representations of expressing healthy emotions in adulthood and healthy masculinity.
I got this on DVD when I first came out and no matter how many times I’ve seen it. I still get emotional. it’s a fun take on how life can pass you by if you’re not careful spend your time with friends and family because in the end, that’s what counts the most . One Adam Sandler‘s underrated films. I actually met him while working at a restaurant in Los Angeles him his wife and his kids. He was very nice. Said hi to everybody!
I give this a 5+. It's one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies If not my favorite. I recommend reacting to Reign Over Me. When it comes to drama he finally got there with that movie.
Snowflake generation here! I was 6 when this came out and Was Not expecting that super sad scene with Henry Winkler and corporate Adam Sandler. Cried on the spot and hugged my dad lol!
Unless you've already seen it, my favorite serious Sandler movie is Reign Over Me. No idea if it did well or flopped, I just know I liked it a lot. It's a highly recommended one from me!
My favourite reactions at 20:25 & 37:48 your laughs are so infectious! 😁 & that dog humping scene haha 😆🐕 & thank you for sharing your personal moments about your lives, it was an honour & heart warming to hear. I first watched this film on a train journey 10yrs ago & watching it again now just hits different with my mum passed away this time last year, I had a great childhood too, my parents always made sure 1 of them was always there for school & other life events. I think the message of this movie is count your blessings & Quinn's right, I don't think people expected such an such emotional role from Adam Sandler!
My mom is a professionnal musician and she missed most of my piano or dance recitals growing up beauce she was working. I have never hold it against her because my dad and grand parents were there for every single ont of them. What is important is having people who love you show up. She was there when she could and that was ok.
Loved you guys sharing your personal stories of your dads. I think this movie is incredible. I was crying so hard the first time I saw it as a teenager. I actually watched it with my parents a few years later and we were all crying 😝 great reaction as always
I agree with Oak, I also could not understand why Rotten Tomatoes was so low, but then again, I never put to much attention to what critics believe, and age might be the reason why Movie fans is only 66%. I personally loved this movie (I also lost my Parents), and thought when funny, it was very funny, and once it turned serious, I felt it, and thought it worked perfectly in this movie.
To answer your question- Yes. "Linger" is my boyfriend and I's song because it came on the radio during a romantic kiss in the car during the first snowfall of the season. And when he little brother got married, I slipped the dj $5 to play it at the reception. So that's at least one wedding it's been played at.
This is one of my favorite movies and the first time I ever knew about it was because my dad rented it he sadly passed when I was 16 and i didn’t watch it for the first time till maybe 19 or so and I absolutely broke down just it hit way too close especially because for years I blamed myself but it’s one of those amazing movies that will make you laugh cry and appreciate just how precious life is and on top of all that we get the beyond amazing quote: “remember the leprechaun he’s always chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow but when he gets there at the end of the day it’s just cornflakes”
Easily my favorite Adam Sandler film. I first watched it at school when I was a kid, and even then I was surprised at how good it was. But this is a story that just hits different when you're older. It's criminal that how underrated this is.
Its actually a decent movie and pretty funny. I cant wait till we get over this sensitivity era though so we can get back to making good comedies like the 90s. In todays society well never get stuff like water boy or blazing sadles.
I haven’t seen this since it came out when I was like, 11 or 12. I forgot how emotional it gets, especially now after having experienced loss up close and personal. Super underrated Sandler joint.
@@simonhartwig8729 Yeah, for real. It's kind of heavy, but it's a great story. It deals with a tough subject that a lot of people had/have to deal with. Don't want to say what it was since that hints to what the movie is about if they see the comment.
"It's a Wonderful Life" would be an excellent movie to react to, any time between Thanksgiving and New Years. Even if you've seen bits and pieces of it, you need to watch it all the way through. Loved that you guys got "REAL" with this, even though it had a sophomoric aspect to it in the first part (which I'm not opposed to anyway...). Well done!
He did Spanglish in 2004 with Tea Lione, Cloris Leachman, and Paz Vega. I saw that one first, so Click was less of a surprise to me in terms of his dramatic chops. Highly recommend it. Cloris Leachman is, of course, hilarious.
one of my favorite adam sandler films watched it some time when it came out now rewatching and still enjoy it hasn't changed my oppinion of it but maybe i just enjoy most of adam sandlers humour more than others also he picks awesome music and great heart with his stories even if he isn't the right cup of tea comedy for some. you guys should watch 50 fiirst dates or uncut gems
watched this movie dubbed in Spanish (mex) and the best joke is when Adam says to his neighbor kid at the beginning "his dad stereo blows" is translated as "Mi papa tiene un stereo bose" (my dad has a bose sterio) and adam replies with "Su papa es el negro jose, wheeee" (His dad is the black man jose) the punchline in english just aint the same lol
Top 3 Adam Sandler film for me. Pretty excited to see your reactions with how this one plays out! Would love to see you guys react to the movie Lucky Number Slevin, its got ya boy Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and Sir Ben Kingsley, along with Josh Hartnett and Lucy Liu. Its definitely one that you guys would enjoy the entire way through.
The most unrealistic part of this movie is not the Remote but the fact that a Bed Bath employee was actually helpful and Adam Sandler’s wife that still smoking hot after 2 kids
This is an amazing film to watch indeed. One of Adams best emotional films. Another that is underrated from Adam is "reign over me" it's 100% a must see movie where Adam plays a serious actor.
Another one of my childhood faves, I remember watching this and wishing I had the ability to fast forward but then the end comes and its like oh gosh, what are we forwarding too, death? it was so deep, never thought that would happen for an Adam Sandler movie
Where does this rank on you Adam Sandler list?

Him in the rain at the gets me so teary eyed it’s ridiculous such a good movie ❤
@@BrendelMankI just commented this omg sameeee
@@BrendelMankwhen she reads the note and says “forever and ever babe” 😭 wrecks me!
This is an unexpected tear jerker of a film that didn't get nearly enough credit for how amazing it actually is.
I think it’s because the hit to miss ratio on the jokes is too low for how crass and juvenile the jokes are. It just amplified every bad joke and it’s very much 2000s humor in a way a lot of his best movies aren’t.

dont think hes underrated lol..hes tippy top A lister lol
always brings a tear to me when he asks his dad for the coin trick 😢 thanks for the upload gang 🔥😎
and his dad still not wanting to reveal the secret is the best follow up
To The Oak’s point around 49:26, absolutely. As someone who watched it when I was a teenager, I liked it. But I’m 34 now, and have lost both my parents and watching it again, it hits WAY different. I don’t have kids, but I imagine it’s just as if not even more different.
I have never clicked on a reaction quicker. This is one of my favorite movies from Adam Sandler.
same
Clickec eh? no pun intended eheahah, take it easy pal
I saw this movie when I was really young and man it gave me a massive existential crisis at the time. Surprisingly underrated Sandler.
I rewatched this one a couple of months ago, it just hits different when you're older. I caught myself sobbing when Sam said he couldn't die cuz he promised to live 200 years, letting people you love down that's what is really scary for me.
Dude this hit me hard when I was just 17. Even more now that I’m a dad and in my 30’s
He had actually just lost his dad recently when making this film. Thats why the end of the movie hits harder that the first half of the movie
Click still gets me teary-eyed
Might I suggest 'Meet the Parents' (2000) and its sequel 'Meet the Fockers' (2004)? They'd make for really fun reactions. Ta. 🧡
I always liked how the DVD menu was the exact same as the in movie menu
I appreciate the honesty in y'alls reactions! No over the top fake laughter or the constant need to tell jokes in which they miss real jokes or plot lines. Thank You for being REAL!!! Love y'all and wish you the best!!!

Linger by the cranberries is always always always played at Irish weddings and we all sing along to it at the top of our lungs in a drunken mess
I stupidly gave this a miss for years, I thought it was another goofy movie among the years of Sandler's down period, I was an idiot. When I finally watched it I sobbed, and I definitely took the message on board ♥
@caseyh8386 Me too!
We need an It’s A Wonderful Life reaction around Christmas time! 😂 Also, it was really nice to hear some personal backstories to learn more about you guys. 🎉 keep up the good times!
6:13 I live close to that exact Bed, Bath, and Beyond, so whenever I drive past it, I always think back to this movie 😂
The same story kinda worked the other way 'round with Schwarzenegger.

It's so gutwrenchingly sad. And I love it.
Unfortunately YES the cranberries is often played at weddings
I used to dj and it’s popular for weddings for some reason
It took me years to watch this and loved it when I finally gott to it. I was dedicated not expecting it to be what it was.
Love this movie, and when his father passed away killed me. And when my father passed away that scene absolutely kills me everytime cause I have so many things I wished I did with him. And today is actually the 9 year anniversary of his passing, so this movie reaction coming today hits hard. Thank you guys very much, you guys are the best!!!🎉
Have you guys seen, Small Soldiers (1998)? It has Tommy Lee Jones, voice acting the main Antagonist.
Same here first time watching it I didn't expect it to make me cry
It was the marketing that hurt the movie. The advertising made it look like just another Sandler comedy, so people went in to laugh laugh laugh and got more of a deeper story, and people rated it based on it not being what they were sold.

For those who didn't know, the teen daughter is Jack Nickolson's daughter, and the adult son is Dustin Hoffman's son.
that's actually wiiiild
As someone who’s lost their Dad, the scene where he keeps rewinding his Dad to hear him say I love you kills me. Half of this movie is silly but the back half has a lot of emotion.

This was always one of my fav "more serious" Sandler movies cause it had a lot of tear jerker scenes. I feel like this was a transition film for his career. It's like he was telling Hollywood hey I can still be funny, but I can do some real drama acting as well. Thanks for reaction fellas!!!❤💞❤️
I'm on par with The Oak because my dad passed away from pneumonia when I was a senior in high school. This movie hits me hard every single time and I cry without fail since I miss him so much. I honor his memory by living life to the fullest as he did. Thank you for doing this reaction!
Sandler is the absolute best. Some of his movies are dumb, but they are all entertaining and I always look forward to a new release.
I remember seeing this in theaters and that last act hit hard.
Christopher Walken is amazing in this film, it's such a hidden gem. Such a great film honestly👀 really great story with a very great and important message !
edit
and wow the after discussion hits haard... very emotional especially when you of course have a personal connection to the topic🖤
My friend Isaiah and I went to see this in theaters as 14 and 15 year olds thinking it would be a hilarious Adam Sandler movie. Which it is. But we were confused why older people were crying. The older we got, the more we cried near the end. Love this movie
Yall need to watch Anger Management if you liked this. One of the best Sandler move and Jack Nicholson steals the show in it.
This has always been one of my favorites. It’s so good
50 First Dates is another adam sandler film worth a watch. Its on a similar level of drama/comedy. Also, drew berrymore
You absolutely have to watch, its a wonderful life. One of the best Christmas movies ever
This film is one of the first that ever emotionally affected me, even as a kid. I think it may possibly be the best Sandler film ever made.
To this day though... I can't help but contemplate how they not only found dogs to hump stuffed animals but to do it perfectly on cue. I'd have loved to see the casting calls for those dogs and trainers/handlers.
You'd be amazed by the things you can teach a dog that's motivated enough! I imagine with these dogs, they were already prone to humping, so they were just rewarded for that behavior when it involved the duck. 😅
I used to think Adam Sandler pulling all 10s in every one of his movies was unbelievable until I went to college. Funny guys with confidence have major pull. Illogical, but major, pull.
I'm sure I'm not alone in this, nor am I the first person to comment this, but it's so refreshing to see three men, that at first sight might seem to be the picture of machismo, see and talk about the emotional nuance in a film like this; it should be entirely normal for conversations to be had in such an emotionally open way, but it's not. Sharing these deep stories of Oak's father and his step-mother, the fight with his step-father, as well as Answer's stories of his father's health and his mother attending his wedding shortly before her passing, it's all so emotionally healthy to openly share these stories and emotions and to be able to cry in front of each other as well as their large audience without shame. I'm having a bit of head fog today so my words aren't coming to me so well, but I wanted to thank the members of Badd Medicine for being such wonderful representations of expressing healthy emotions in adulthood and healthy masculinity.
I got this on DVD when I first came out and no matter how many times I’ve seen it. I still get emotional. it’s a fun take on how life can pass you by if you’re not careful spend your time with friends and family because in the end, that’s what counts the most . One Adam Sandler‘s underrated films. I actually met him while working at a restaurant in Los Angeles him his wife and his kids. He was very nice. Said hi to everybody!
I give this a 5+. It's one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies If not my favorite. I recommend reacting to Reign Over Me. When it comes to drama he finally got there with that movie.
underrated as hell. idk why most ppl HATE this one
Never heard ANYONE say Click is a bad movie
@loganpowers1999 it's that older style comedies. I love his humor my friends and gf hate the "dumb" jokes
Lying
because it reminds them of their own lives and how they focus on the wrong things. same as Walter Mitty
Because of the weird sexual humor bits
Snowflake generation here! I was 6 when this came out and Was Not expecting that super sad scene with Henry Winkler and corporate Adam Sandler. Cried on the spot and hugged my dad lol!
You know its offensively hilarious if Oak laughs with covered face 😂
This and Reign Over Me were both unexpected emotional journeys from Sandler.
In my opinion, Reign Over Me is Sandler’s most intense role and performance to date. The whole movie is so much to take in.
His best acting performance/ in my opinion.
Have you guys seen Uncut Gems? Sandler is terrific in that film. The film itself could be called anxiety with how tense it is. Should check it out.
Unless you've already seen it, my favorite serious Sandler movie is Reign Over Me. No idea if it did well or flopped, I just know I liked it a lot. It's a highly recommended one from me!
😕Did anyone else notice that the OAK isn't fond David Hasselhoff that much?🤷🏽♀️🙃 #TEAMOAK
Oak actually had a roller coaster of emotions👌🏼🤗💋✊🏼👑🤝🏼😎
Not his character in this movie but boy did I love Knight Rider!!! -Oak
My favourite reactions at 20:25 & 37:48 your laughs are so infectious! 😁 & that dog humping scene haha 😆🐕 & thank you for sharing your personal moments about your lives, it was an honour & heart warming to hear. I first watched this film on a train journey 10yrs ago & watching it again now just hits different with my mum passed away this time last year, I had a great childhood too, my parents always made sure 1 of them was always there for school & other life events. I think the message of this movie is count your blessings & Quinn's right, I don't think people expected such an such emotional role from Adam Sandler!
this and 50 first dates are some of his best movies story wise
My mom is a professionnal musician and she missed most of my piano or dance recitals growing up beauce she was working. I have never hold it against her because my dad and grand parents were there for every single ont of them. What is important is having people who love you show up. She was there when she could and that was ok.
Loved you guys sharing your personal stories of your dads. I think this movie is incredible. I was crying so hard the first time I saw it as a teenager. I actually watched it with my parents a few years later and we were all crying 😝 great reaction as always
That Michael Jackson joke still cracks me up 😂
I agree with Oak, I also could not understand why Rotten Tomatoes was so low, but then again, I never put to much attention to what critics believe, and age might be the reason why Movie fans is only 66%. I personally loved this movie (I also lost my Parents), and thought when funny, it was very funny, and once it turned serious, I felt it, and thought it worked perfectly in this movie.
For two other really good underrated Sandler movies, with great casts and great plots, please watch, "Spanglish" and "The Cobbler"
To answer your question- Yes.
"Linger" is my boyfriend and I's song because it came on the radio during a romantic kiss in the car during the first snowfall of the season. And when he little brother got married, I slipped the dj $5 to play it at the reception. So that's at least one wedding it's been played at.
This is one of my favorite movies and the first time I ever knew about it was because my dad rented it he sadly passed when I was 16 and i didn’t watch it for the first time till maybe 19 or so and I absolutely broke down just it hit way too close especially because for years I blamed myself but it’s one of those amazing movies that will make you laugh cry and appreciate just how precious life is and on top of all that we get the beyond amazing quote: “remember the leprechaun he’s always chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow but when he gets there at the end of the day it’s just cornflakes”
I've got a fever. And the only prescription is a new remote control.
Easily my favorite Adam Sandler film. I first watched it at school when I was a kid, and even then I was surprised at how good it was. But this is a story that just hits different when you're older. It's criminal that how underrated this is.
The whole IDEA of this movie has one of the most interesting and oddly complex and enjoyable plots out there! 😁
Its actually a decent movie and pretty funny. I cant wait till we get over this sensitivity era though so we can get back to making good comedies like the 90s. In todays society well never get stuff like water boy or blazing sadles.
This movie gets me everytime 😪 Seen this countless times but still it definitely doesn’t reflect on my lifestyle 😅 Eh.. We learn when we learn, right?
I haven’t seen this since it came out when I was like, 11 or 12. I forgot how emotional it gets, especially now after having experienced loss up close and personal. Super underrated Sandler joint.
Loving you guys keep up what you're doing and keep enjoying what you're doing, much love.
If you want another emotional movie with Adam Sandler, watch Reign Over Me.
The dad scene gets me everytime. Was not expecting Sandler to get emotional like that, that hit hard when it came out and still today.
I bawl like a baby at the end every time. Love this movie.
I stand by my super chat the other day. Watch …only the brave…. Great movie.
Two other movies with Adam Sandler in a serious role. You have 2007's Reign Over Me where he stars alongside Don Cheadle and 2019's Uncut Gems.
People don’t talk about Reign Over Me enough
@@simonhartwig8729 Yeah, for real. It's kind of heavy, but it's a great story. It deals with a tough subject that a lot of people had/have to deal with. Don't want to say what it was since that hints to what the movie is about if they see the comment.
Still makes me cry😭😭😭
"It's a Wonderful Life" would be an excellent movie to react to, any time between Thanksgiving and New Years. Even if you've seen bits and pieces of it, you need to watch it all the way through.
Loved that you guys got "REAL" with this, even though it had a sophomoric aspect to it in the first part (which I'm not opposed to anyway...).
Well done!
The scene where it shows Theodore's headstone and it says he died in 2021 hits me hard every time, that is the year I lost my grandfather
Happy fcking Fathers Day y’all, you deserve it
they should watch the Adam Sandler movie with the girl with amnesia!
The neighbor kid is cal kestis or the joker from gotham why did i never see that before 😂
He did Spanglish in 2004 with Tea Lione, Cloris Leachman, and Paz Vega. I saw that one first, so Click was less of a surprise to me in terms of his dramatic chops. Highly recommend it. Cloris Leachman is, of course, hilarious.
Sorry, but David Hasselhoff stole the show in this movie 😂 Click is really underrated. Watching the full reaction with you was fun 💪💚
one of my favorite adam sandler films watched it some time when it came out now rewatching and still enjoy it hasn't changed my oppinion of it but maybe i just enjoy most of adam sandlers humour more than others also he picks awesome music and great heart with his stories even if he isn't the right cup of tea comedy for some. you guys should watch 50 fiirst dates or uncut gems
watched this movie dubbed in Spanish (mex) and the best joke is when Adam says to his neighbor kid at the beginning "his dad stereo blows" is translated as "Mi papa tiene un stereo bose" (my dad has a bose sterio) and adam replies with "Su papa es el negro jose, wheeee" (His dad is the black man jose) the punchline in english just aint the same lol
Top 3 Adam Sandler film for me. Pretty excited to see your reactions with how this one plays out! Would love to see you guys react to the movie Lucky Number Slevin, its got ya boy Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and Sir Ben Kingsley, along with Josh Hartnett and Lucy Liu. Its definitely one that you guys would enjoy the entire way through.
The most unrealistic part of this movie is not the Remote but the fact that a Bed Bath employee was actually helpful and Adam Sandler’s wife that still smoking hot after 2 kids
This is an amazing film to watch indeed. One of Adams best emotional films. Another that is underrated from Adam is "reign over me" it's 100% a must see movie where Adam plays a serious actor.
Another one of my childhood faves, I remember watching this and wishing I had the ability to fast forward but then the end comes and its like oh gosh, what are we forwarding too, death? it was so deep, never thought that would happen for an Adam Sandler movie
