Adam Sandler's new movie about a remote control with abnormal powers.

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2006)

Click was a surprisingly entertaining movie. Some movies take a high concept (like a mega-powerful remote control) and then use it only to exploit low-brow comedy. Click had its share of physical comedy (most of which I had already seen in the trailers) but it also aspired to have a heartfelt message. The path the story followed was funny when it wanted to be but it was not constantly swinging for the zany fences like Waterboy or Happy Gilmore. This was one of Adam Sandler's better efforts, funny enough to be a true comedy and thoughtful enough that a movie goer won't have to apologize for liking it. Click fits nicely in Adam Sandler's body of work somewhere between Anger Management and Punch Drunk Love.
