Quotes on Tatum
"Of all the Tatum McCann's I've ever worked with, she is the best," said [Adam] Sandler in a statement released through his publicist. "She is the Tatum-ist and no Tatum can match her Tatumnity. That McCann is McNificent! Seriously though, I love her and think she is a sweetheart.""I think Tatum has a really bright future," said [Frank] Coraci, who, before "Click," directed the 2004 film "Around the World in 80 Days." "She's such a balanced kid with a sweet and giving spirit. Everybody on the set fell in love with her and so much of the heart of the movie came from her."
"She's been using the computer since she was a year old," said her mom [in an interview],She can navigate on the computer, print out pictures, check e-mail and look up addresses on Mapquest. She picks things up very quickly, including the lines she had to learn for `Click.' "
“The little girls [Hailey McCann and Tatum McCann] in this film were so fantastic. They are real sisters and they made my job really easy. So I didn’t have to work too hard at that.” Rachel McAdams
"The two girls playing Alba (real-life sisters Tatum and Hailey McCann) were just phenomenal." Eric Bana
Quotes from Tatum
"Once when I was doing a commercial for Kraft, I was supposed to eat a tomato and look like I was enjoying it," said Tatum. "But I don't like tomatoes so the director offered me a dollar to eat it and I said OK. I don't like clam chowder or kiwi either but I'd eat them for a dollar, too.""Henry played `The Fonz' on Happy Days," Tatum said. "He gave me two books he wrote, a video of the first season of the show and dolls from `Happy Days.' Although he didn't give me the main character, Richie, but he did give me himself. He was very nice."
