How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:163

Fresh:52

Rotten:111

Average Rating:4.8/10

Consensus: This latest Adam Sandler vehicle borrows shamelessly from It's A Wonderful Life and Back To The Future, and fails to produce the necessary laughs that would forgive such imitation.

Rated: 12A [See Full Rating] for language, crude and sex-related humor, and some drug references

Runtime: 1 hr 47 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:29-09-2006

Synopsis: Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) is married to the beautiful Donna (Kate Beckinsale) and they have two terrific kids, Ben (Joseph Castanon) and Samantha (Tatum McCann). But he doesn't get to see them... Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) is married to the beautiful Donna (Kate Beckinsale) and they have two terrific kids, Ben (Joseph Castanon) and Samantha (Tatum McCann). But he doesn't get to see them much because he's putting in long, hard hours at his architectural firm in the elusive hope that his ungrateful boss (David Hasselhoff) will one day recognize his invaluable contribution and make him a partner. Once he's on easy street, he'll be able to lavish attention on the wife and kiddies. At least, that's what he tells himself. After staying up all night to work, a tired Michael becomes frustrated because he can't even figure out which of his remotes will turn on the TV set. Michael sets out to find the perfect device to operate all his electronic equipment and stumbles into the back room of a Bed, Bath & Beyond, where an eccentric employee, Morty (Christopher Walken), gives him an experimental one-of-a-kind souped-up gadget guaranteed to change his life. Morty wasn't kidding either. Soon Michael is master of his domain, turning on every appliance with the click of a button. But the device has other, more startling functions. It can somehow muffle the barking of Sundance, the family dog — and even more astoundingly, fast forward through an annoying quarrel with his wife. Michael is fascinated by his new toy and a little freaked out as well. He decides to pay another visit to Morty, the guy who sold him the mysterious device. Morty tells Michael he gave him exactly what he asked for — a universal remote that lets him control his universe. Right before Michael's astonished eyes, Morty demonstrates the device's mind-boggling advanced features, including a function that lets Michael travel back and forth through his life at different speeds. Michael quickly becomes addicted to this new rush of power, which literally allows him to have his cake and eat it too. But before he knows it, the remote is programming him, rather than the other way around. And try as he might, a panicked Michael can't stop the device from deciding which events of his life he'll experience and which ones he'll miss. Only then does he begin to truly appreciate and embrace his life — the good, the bad and the ugly. --© Sony Pictures [More]

After he teased us with some recent, supposedly more 'mature' performances in Punch Drunk Love and Spanglish, Sandler has simply reverted to his expected juvenile form here.

Click is a 95-minute illustration of the difference between 'funny' and 'laughable.'

It's a high-concept Adam Sandler comedy that never even scrapes the heights. The movie makes a graceless transition from drippy comedy to soggy melodrama. Either way, it's all wet.

The movie is being sold as a comedy, but you know what? This isn't funny.

For Sandler, the transition from MTV cool to VH1 nostalgic seems natural, but the emotion and the longing that accompany nostalgia are still lost on an actor with limited range, trying mightily to improve himself.

Click gets its laughs and then sucker-punches us with sentiment; if it doesn't quite represent the new, improved Adam Sandler, it shows him almost desperately trying to figure out who that might be.

The movie's ending will come as a complete surprise to anyone not familiar with It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, or the 7th season of Dallas.

It's no bummer or mind-bender, but it might as well be the "Requiem for a Dream" of Adam Sandler's rowdy resume. George Bailey never would have farted in Mr. Potter's face, so it's clearly not a wonderful life. But it's decent enough.

A fantasy comedy in the tradition of Back to the Future or Groundhog Day... Click delivers profoundly emotional family moments amidst the hysterically clever fantasy gags.

This film is such a squirming, watch checking, horrible experience I was wishing for a magical remote that would click it off.

You may want to fast forward through parts of this but mostly you'll want to pause and savor the moments.

While Sandler shouldn't be advised to shun movies with heart, he needs to recognize the difference between genuine emotions and this sort of decidedly unfunny mawkishness.

While Adam Sandler remains a performer of endless charisma, his choice of material is growing increasingly questionable as the years pass.

Michael never thinks big like changing mankind for the good. He would rather click-freeze a guy and pull down his pants to embarrass him. THAT's a Sandler laugh.

Sandler's chief asset is his accessibility, an easy amiability that allows us to think well of him even when he's engaging in Stoogish violence and flatulence jokes.

has several truly funny moments and inspired ideas, enough to make viewers wonder how much better the film would have been if a strong story editor and a sharp director had been called in to smooth out the script's many wrinkles.

Sandler has rightfully transitioned from annoying frat dude who got lucky to affable everyman who even cries every once in a while, although I'm guessing he needs the prop guy to slice an onion to get the job done.
