"Not "Click"ing" Chicago Tribune

Rating: 4/10 (23 June 2006)

Rating- 2/5 (C) Category- Comedy/Drama Click is a comedy starring David Hasselholf, being the crude and evil boss, and Adam Sandler who is a devoted husband and father of two kids. Sadly his job is separating him from his family. So as you could see his life is really hard so he searches for a universal remote that does more than expected. It can control the whole universe. The problem being is after you use the remote for a while it keeps storing what happens into its memory. For ex. Mr. Newman, Adam Sandler, accidentally fast forwards through sex and from then on sex would be fast forwarded and so on and so forth. So as the movie goes on, passing by some funny jokes and hearing some little chuckles, he ends up missing a lot of stuff that he didn't want to miss. Eventually, he is 16 years into the future having no idea what is going on.
Now before I saw this movie I saw the trailer for it and I found it funny and quite amusing. Then I read the reviews. The Chicago Tribune gave the movie 1 and half stars, the Sun Times gave the movie 2 stars, and everyone else gave it a rating somewhat close to that.
OK, now my point of view. Just to shorten your read I thought the movie was decent until a little more than half way through the movie. That is when Click became a Drama. I mean for Christ sake, since when does a movie change genres from comedy to drama and back to comedy again. It is ridiculous. Yeah the drama scenes were quite intense. More than half the audience was sobbing. Still, what they did ruined the movie. I still left the movie theater with a happy feeling but what movie doesn't besides Flight 93? All in all, the movie made me laugh every 20 minutes, but it also made me look at my watch. Do I recommend it? Yes if you are completely bored and aren't satisfied with doing anything else, but otherwise just rent the movie when it comes out, watch the first 45 minutes where the parts are funny, and then return it.
