1-Trick-Pony goes downhill

Rating: 4/10 (14 May 2009)

Click may not be a horrible movie, but degenerates and is pretty bad by the ending. It's schizophrenic in that it doesn't know whether it's a comedy or a drama, and pretty much flops on both. Some of the gags are funny, but the seriousness feels misplaced after so many antics early on. Towards the end fast-forward button started getting used a whole lot as the movie has gone into downright preachy territory replete with Sandler miserably trying to act as an old man. Of course the whole idea has done before minus the remote as the one novelty which after the first 45 min doesn't have any new ideas besides a really poorly contrived auto-fast forward ridiculously explained as the remote keying in on the Sandler character's tastes. Acting is pretty bleh too. Check this out at the library for free; barely worth a rental.
