A surprisingly good film

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2006)

Yes the critics slammed it. It actually got to me eventually, after seeing enough of "A surefire box office flop" and "Sandler's worst movie", I was swayed, to put it lightly. It didn't help that Sandler's last few movies were about entertaining as watching paint dry (Not to mention as monotonous as Ben Stein reading you to bed). But most of all, they weren't funny, nor did they bring anything to the table. I swore never to see a Sandler movie again (at least until it came out on DVD. I couldn't take disappointment after disappointment). Click intrigued me, however, despite my promise, and despite the critics, I was interested. My friend suggested we go see it and I hesitantly said yes. I went to the movie expecting the worst, what I got was one of the better movies I have seen in a very long time. The movie will not make your sides split, but it did have moments, all a comedy needs is moments to make it successful, and these moments of hilarity were funny enough to keep the first half of the movie afloat. The second half was actually a touching story, it jerked a few tears from my eyes. The thing you must do is go into this movie not expecting a GREAT movie, because then you will be disappointed. Expect a decent movie and you will find a very good movie. I was charmed by click, I liked it a lot, I would see it again, and I am not a huge fan of Sandler anymore. So see Click and experience the wide array of emotions that it makes you feel in this insightful, if not completely compelling story.
