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]

The movie plays like a cross between Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and It's a Wonderful Life.

It's a movie that shoots lazily for Capraesque and settles happily for Crapesque.

The first half of Click is merely unfunny; the second is the most shameless appeal to sentiment since The Day the Clown Cried.

Click will surely dishearten even Sandler's most forgiving faithful, while putting the casual viewer right to sleep.

Sandler's fans may find some of his antics entertaining, but once the film turns on the waterworks, even they'll want to click away.

Instead of high concept turning into comedy gold with a touch of sentiment, we get a childish load of staleness that farts in the face of its Capraesque pursuit.

Click sells itself as an Adam Sandler comedy full of immature humor (and it is), but the last 30 minutes are brilliant, heartbreaking and emotional.

Frank Capra is rolling over in his grave at the worthless gimmick that's needed to retell his classic story.

There were times when I wanted a universal remote to fast-forward through repeated jokes about a dog having sex with a stuffed animal or children using four-letter words.

It's an unimaginative, mean-spirited affair that makes you hate yourself for laughing at it, and it's so devoid of anything close to wit, subtlety or sophistication.

SANDLER: And there's gotta be like tons of f**kin' hot chicks all over, like maybe in my office. 'Cause it's a guy fantasy, right, shuttin' up the wife and kids and sh*t, right?

Why Click fails to click is because of a crass, uncertain script, which wavers between an unfunny Saturday Night Live skit and a Lifetime Channel movie. Only once, near the end, did I care about his plight. But then, maybe it was heartburn.

Adam Sandler continues to crassly cannibalize Frank Capra films with Click, a movie that starts with comedic promise but ultimately degenerates into a maudlin mishmash.

Most likely a well intentioned reaction to the death of both [Sandler's] father and beloved dog Meatball, "Click" plays like "It's a Wonderful Life to the Future" with superior makeup effects but subpar writing and production values.

A happy convergence of silly and smart gives Adam Sandler one of his best comic vehicles yet.

Adam Sandler turns his careless attention to family life in this comedy about a harried white-collar father who acquires a remote control that allows him to hopscotch through time.

Plays to the lowest-common-denominator for so long that it can never quite redeem itself when the tone suddenly dims and turns into a tearjerker.
