Sandler Shines

Rating: 7/10 (1 July 2006)

I went into this movie optimistically. It reminded me of Bruce Almighty, a movie with some dumb jokes but some substance to it. To my surprise Click blew Bruce out of the water. Sandler proves that he is more than just a poop joke actor and can act with some sentiment and emotion. Kate Beckinsale did a good job as the wife and Christopher Walken, David Hasselhoff and Jennifer Coolidge played their ridiculous parts very well.
The movie has a brilliant storyline and I was engrossed as Sandler lost control of his life and reached his tearjerker epiphany late in the movie. This is not to say however that if you are a fan of Sandler's typical movies that you wont like this one. This movie is hysterical at parts and it has oozes with Sandler's sense of humor. Whether you love Sandler, or think he's an idiot, there is something for everyone to love in this movie.
