They went to college together (Click producer Jack Giarraputo was Coraci’s roommate) and have always had the ability to make each other laugh. “Another reason Click is so much fun is that it’s filled with the kind of stuff that makes me and Adam laugh — stuff about life we learned when we were growing up. As we’re getting older, we’re starting to make movies about things that we’ve experienced in life.” The on-the-set camaraderie and the trusting relationships formed back in college days paid off creatively as well. “During production, at the end of every day, we’d kind of high five each other or regroup and say, ‘Boy this script is funny, but the stuff we came up with on the set today was even funnier,’” says Coraci. “It was so cool, because Adam is so good at that. He makes it all look so easy.”</div> <div> <B> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script>  </B></div> <div> Though Oscar winner Christopher Walken was new to the group, he immediately fit right in, according to Coraci. “When you see Adam and Christopher Walken side by side it’s pretty cool. Walken is a genius actor, but the pairing of him and Adam together is even more amazing. It’s rare you get to see two such great talents get together and do funny stuff like that.”</div> <div> Walken also brought his training as a singer and dancer to bear in the role of Morty, the enigmatic behind-the-scenes store clerk. “Walken does a little dancing and some singing in the movie,” says Coraci. “But what was most impressive is that he can pick any word of his dialogue from the script and make it funny. Listen to the way he says the word ‘remote’ with such a dry delivery that’s just hilarious. I don’t know of any actor who can say one word like that and be funny.” For “the perfect wife,” Coraci says, they found the perfect actress — Kate Beckinsale. “The key thing in the movie is that Adam’s character has two amazing kids and a wife who is supportive and gorgeous. She’s the kind of perfect woman than anybody would want to be married to, strong and beautiful with a good heart. I don’t know of anyone who’s not going to fall in love with her in this movie.”</div> <div> To play Sandler’s parents, Ted and Trudy, the filmmakers turned to two comic veteran actors, Henry Winkler and Julie Kavner. “They are the perfect blue-collar, sweet parents who get on your nerves because they love you so much. Henry and Julie did it so well. As soon as we put them together, we realized we couldn’t have come up with a better combination. They both have the ultimate comedy chops. Henry, who worked with us before on The Waterboy, completely understood our routine. And, Julie, what can I say? She got into the rhythm very quickly and when you have all these people that are comfortable with each other, things can get really funny.”</div> <div> David Hasselhoff plays Mr. Ammer, Michael’s insensitive boss. Coraci describes him as an actor “who has so much energy you’d think there were seven of him instead of only one. Besides being an icon, the guy is really funny. And when he arrived he just came in, put his total trust in us and had a great time.”</div> <div> The production was no less lucky with the actors who took on the roles of Sandler and Beckinsale’s children. “They were amazing,” says Coraci. “Tatum McCann, (Samantha) is a sweetheart, you warm to her immediately. Joseph Castanon (Ben) is just this really talented little boy. He can do it all. Don’t tell anyone, but despite what they say about working with child actors, they were the easiest people to direct. They learned so fast and did everything I said exactly right.” Besides their talent, McCann and Castanon connected emotionally with Coraci as well. “They were the most loving kids. At the end of the day they would come up to me and say ‘Frank, we love you,’ and give me a big hug. It was perfect for the movie because it created a real sense of family.” </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> This website is created and designed by MovieGrande International, 2006</div> <div> This is an unofficial website with educational purpose.
