The movie isn't great and Adam Sandler fails to amuse audiences with his
insipid jokes. The subject is interesting but scriptwriters, Steve Koren
and Mark O'Keefe, have ruined it by infusing dumb sequences and an unnecessary
dose of sex.
In terms of execution, the film is disjointed at many places. It is
more like a series of apparently unrelated, and at times unexciting
scenes that attempt to make viewers laugh.
"Click" revolves around Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) who
is bogged down by the unending demands of his boss Ammer (David Hasselhoff).
The work pressure is so high that Michael realises that spending quality
time with his wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), and children has become
increasingly difficult.
When a frustrating bout
with the television remote leads Michael in search of a universal remote,
he bumps into a mysterious looking guy Morty (Christopher Walken) who
changes his life.
Morty gives him a device that will not only allow complete control
over television and stereo, but his entire life as well.
Initially, Michael finds the device a blessing but very soon it turns
into a nightmare for him.
In this whole drama what surprises viewers is Michael's coldness towards
his wife played by Beckinsale who has nothing much to do. She is more
like a showpiece in the film.
And the climax is too obvious to be stirring.
So, in short "Click" is a below average comedy.
