Can't Decide On Tone...

Rating: 4/10 (12 September 2008)

I watched Click after putting one of my dogs down, one I had since I was 3, and after we came back from the vet, my family and I watched this.
To say the least, Click's comedy is present, however, the tone of the film shifts so awkwardly, that the production is a zig-zag of nonsensical drama.
The acting is okay, though not one performance is worth highlighting -- Sean Astin is good, though his role is horribly written.
The comedy tends to rely a lot on slapstick, which only goes so far. The functions of the remote get boring after a while.
The first act is full of comedy, yet the second descends into mindfreak zone, as the viewer's perception of what the film is about, has been altered sufficiently enough to warrant someone to turn the TV off. The third act is all over the place, trying too hard to gain any heartwarming scenes, and just going insane with Death as a character.
All in all, unless you read the description of the entire film on Wikipedia, then watch Click, you'll probably like it more. It just goes all over the place in time line and tone, that it made for an un-enjoyable film to watch.
