Click

The concept never really takes off on screen. Moreover, the only way such presumably uplifting cinema can work is if one feels in some ways for the characters and situations.

As a moral fable Click holds no surprises; as a Sandler comedy, it's unusually dark, occasionally touching and pretty funny.

As a broad family comedy this is perfectly acceptable, but from a sci-fi point of view it's a very pale imitation of the time travel classics it seeks to ape.

There are more farts and embarrassing sex jokes than laughs -- far more.

Another 'nice' Sandler comedy that works, thanks to some smart and genuinely moving ideas at its core.

When the DVD comes out I'm going to buy it and fast-forward through the whole thing. You know, for vengeance.

Despite all its inherent flaws and challenges, what can I say? It clicks.

The film has its moments where it attempts to teach us about priorities and what should be important in our lives.

A remote-control gizmo allows Adam Sandler to skip all of life's bad stuff and blows the whistle on current culture's instant-gratification laziness. It'll teach your kids to learn to take the bad with the good.

A catchy little idea for a comedy catches a bad attack of the sads at the halfway mark, where the filmmakers mistakenly think it's time for some drama and a few lessons about the human condition.
