I don't think Adam Sandler (star of Click) has ever created a movie without a horny dog. Really, I think all of his movies have a horny dog somewhere. That pretty much sums up Click, a movie about a dog humping a duck. But hey--if that's what you like, don't let me stop you! The movie tells the story of Michael Newman (Adam Sandler), who fits the classic Hollywood archetype of "overworking-no-time-for-your-kids-big-money-nyc-dad." He takes a trip to a Bed, Bath, and Beyond in search of a universal remote. (Of course, everyone goes to a store that sells bedding for a remote.) Anyway, he stumbles upon the "BEYOND" section, where Christopher Walken presents him with the latest product: a universal remote. The movie, in my opinion, was good for the next half-hour or so, but it quickly became a disappointment. It was cool, but sort of silly.
Actually, it was quite fun to watch. Judging from an entertainment point of view, it was a good movie. It just didn't deliver the laughs and plot I was hoping for. It's not exactly a movie where you can root for the character. What I really didn't like about the movie was the absolutely cliché ending. Honestly, once you see the end of this movie, you will go buy a gun and shoot the writer. I'll just give ya one word of advice: don't take Adam seriously.
But really, it's a very cool concept and it was eye candy to see Kate Beckinsale frozen with her arm in the air. Lots of dads will also enjoy the whole "skip a fight" idea that the movie seems to really overkill. I found that a lot of the jokes weren't funny because they had already been shown in the trailer. I always knew what was coming, and I even heard people say "Oh! I love this part!" Um... HELLO! You haven't even seen the movie!
Gosh.
