An emotional experience

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2006)

Early in this fantasy, Chris Walken as a mysterious benefactor with very bad hair warns overworked architect Adam Sandler that the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is in reality a bowl of corn flakes. Only Sandler has to find this out for himself, and does so. In CLICK, a unique remote control allows Sandler to fast-forward, pause and even reverse his life. But things quickly go awry. CLICK goes from being a laugh-out-loud comedy to a tissue box-required melodrama as Sandler makes mistake after mistake with his newfound accessory. And so that you don't make a mistake: This is no dream, regardless of what you may have heard. Sandler is fine, if no Jim Carrey, and Brit thesp Kate "Underworld" Beckinsale does a passable American accent as Sandler's wife. As always, SNL pal Rob Schneider has a small role. See if you can spot him. CLICK is quite reminiscent of Bill Murray's SCROOGED.
