Plot Summary: In Columbia Pictures/Revolution
Studios' comedy "Click," Adam Sandler portrays Michael Newman, a family man
whose busy career as an architect doesn't leave much time for his wife, Donna
(Kate Beckinsale), and two kids. Unable to figure out which of his many remotes
turns on the television, he goes shopping for a universal remote and finds the
perfect device through Morty (Christopher Walken), who gives him a one-of-a-kind
remote with magical powers. With each click, Michael is able to control his
career and personal life. But complications arise when the remote starts to
overrule his choices.
Through
all the infantile jokes, the film's heart shines through.
Lawrence Toppman: Charlotte Observer
Sandler continues to move
slowly from the needy, whimpering man-boy to a functioning adult who
learns what it means to be a man....more

Just Doesn't "Click" Gary Thompson: Philadelphia Daily
News
There is the potential there for some inventive
comedy, and "Click" squeezes in a few real laughs. More
often, though, it's lazily content to to settle for the
gross-out gag....more
Sandler's
trying, but not quite there yet. Bob Strauss: LA Daily News
Watching Sandler superficially yet intensely mature
on screen is kind of creepy. His movies seem to be more and
more about simple life lessons that most guys half his age
understand, even if they don't always act according to them.
Robin Williams' "RV" character goes down essentially the
same path of workaholism-isbad discovery, and at least
Sandler doesn't let his man become a complete fool in
"Click." But for all of his strenuous emoting, he never
convinced me that Michael actually learned anything, either...more
A
high-concept Adam Sandler comedy that never even scrapes the
heights Philip Wunch: Dallas Morning News Stone
The hackneyed screenplay owes several debts to
It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol, but
don't expect Frank Capra, much less Charles Dickens. The
movie is sometimes kinda funny, sometimes sorta sweet but
never wholly satisfying...more
