    Fascinating and well made. The ending is stupid though.

    Epic film had to watch it a few times to understand it fully it was brilliant I think I've watched it a million times
  • Northern_FrostMay 10, 2026
    It was an interesting film but a little quirky a little corny. I wouldn't give it a higher rating and it's one I'll probably never watch again but it wasn't awful

    The opposite of the Adam Sandler "classic" Click, including in the fact that this movie is actually good.

    I love the idea of this movie. It's Thrilling, Creative & I did enjoy 80% of it, but it does drag a bit in spots, has some wonk & not the best ending (imho)

    Never been a fan of Ashton and still doesn't change my mind but did like the story line
  • Alexandre GrégoireJanuary 20, 2026
    Still an amazing movie after so many years. Still don't like the ending but hey...
  • JakeysDecember 26, 2025
    Technically I don't think this movie is very good, the story is a bit iffy but it's also extremely memorable and unique. Especially the Director's Cut.
