Rated T for Tedious.

Don’t bother seeing Click! It’s not that it’s bad, per se, it’s that it’s pointless and unfunny. Aside from the lack of humor, there are other reasons to dislike this film: With the exception of a few scenes, Adam Sandler seemed like he was phoning in his performance in the first half of the movie. Also, the whole premise regarding a “remote that controls your universe” was woefully executed. It’s like the writers/director knew the remote had to be featured in a scene, but weren’t sure how to fit it in. It’s not like a watch or something, where he can wear it all the time; it’s a fucking remote control that Sandler has to keep in his pocket.

Hot-as-hell Kate Beckinsale as Sandler’s wife and Christopher Walken in yet another creepy off-the-wall role were the only interesting major characters. Seeing Beckinsale as a normal woman is kind of odd after just seeing her in Underworld: Evolution. She’s much softer in this, and prettier too. ‘Course she didn’t get naked in Click!, so Underworld Evolution gets a few more points.

I’d like to add that the whole section where the movie jumps into the future was really weird. It was by far the most intriguing development in the movie, but I feel it was wasted. The first half of the movie is pretty dumb, even by Adam Sandler standards. Then you get to this bittersweet future stuff, and it just doesn’t fit.

If you enjoy Adam Sandler’s dumb comedies like me, don’t watch this. Go rent The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Happy Gilmore, or 50 First Dates (the latter two are my personal favorites).
