Click (2006): Dir: Frank Coraci / Cast: Adam Sandler, Kate Beckinsale, Christopher Walken, David Hasselhoff, Henry Winkler: Unfunny comedy about taking life for granted. Adam Sandler plays a workaholic father who receives a remote control that magically controls his life at the click of buttons. Routine setup is followed by predictable formula where the remote overrules his life where the remote overruns his life and causes chaos where he eventually learns hard lessons about life, fatherhood, and being a husband. Director Frank Coraci worked with Sandler in The Wedding Singer, a better film. Here he has fun paralleling life with DVD features. Sandler is playing his usual persona but what's worse is when he lays down on a department store bed, the so-called plot twist becomes way too obvious. Kate Beckinsale is wasted as his frustrated wife. Christopher Walken is typecast as the ominous character distributing the remote. This whole invention is a great idea but played as more a prop. David Hasselhoff plays his controlling boss whom at one point receives Sandler's ass in his face after a pause button situation. Henry Winkler appears as Sandler's father with some annoying trick he does with a coin. The remote control element is creative otherwise it carries similar themes as It's a Wonderful Life, which I would recommend viewers to click on. Score: 4 / 10
