How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted: 161

Fresh: 50

Rotten:111

Average Rating: 4.7/10

Consensus: This latest Adam Sandler vehicle borrows shamelessly from It's A Wonderful Life and Back To The Future, and fails to produce the necessary laughs that would forgive such imitation.

Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] for language, crude and sex-related humor, and some drug references

Runtime: 1 hr 47 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Jun 23, 2006 Wide

Box Office: $137,340,146

Synopsis: Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) is married to the beautiful Donna (Kate Beckinsale) and they have two terrific kids, Ben (Joseph Castanon) and Samantha (Tatum McCann). But he doesn't get to see them... Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) is married to the beautiful Donna (Kate Beckinsale) and they have two terrific kids, Ben (Joseph Castanon) and Samantha (Tatum McCann). But he doesn't get to see them much because he's putting in long, hard hours at his architectural firm in the elusive hope that his ungrateful boss (David Hasselhoff) will one day recognize his invaluable contribution and make him a partner. Once he's on easy street, he'll be able to lavish attention on the wife and kiddies. At least, that's what he tells himself. After staying up all night to work, a tired Michael becomes frustrated because he can't even figure out which of his remotes will turn on the TV set. Michael sets out to find the perfect device to operate all his electronic equipment and stumbles into the back room of a Bed, Bath & Beyond, where an eccentric employee, Morty (Christopher Walken), gives him an experimental one-of-a-kind souped-up gadget guaranteed to change his life. Morty wasn't kidding either. Soon Michael is master of his domain, turning on every appliance with the click of a button. But the device has other, more startling functions. It can somehow muffle the barking of Sundance, the family dog — and even more astoundingly, fast forward through an annoying quarrel with his wife. Michael is fascinated by his new toy and a little freaked out as well. He decides to pay another visit to Morty, the guy who sold him the mysterious device. Morty tells Michael he gave him exactly what he asked for — a universal remote that lets him control his universe. Right before Michael's astonished eyes, Morty demonstrates the device's mind-boggling advanced features, including a function that lets Michael travel back and forth through his life at different speeds. Michael quickly becomes addicted to this new rush of power, which literally allows him to have his cake and eat it too. But before he knows it, the remote is programming him, rather than the other way around. And try as he might, a panicked Michael can't stop the device from deciding which events of his life he'll experience and which ones he'll miss. Only then does he begin to truly appreciate and embrace his life — the good, the bad and the ugly. --© Sony Pictures [More]

"Click" is a one-trick-pony of a comedy.

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.

For all its competing aspirations, the movie just never clicks.

A movie with a lot of wasted potential. It looks like it was made by a bunch of schmucks.

It's kind of a reverse "It's A Wonderful Life" as Mike see's what happens to those around him when he pushes a button.

What is surprising about Adam Sandler's latest comedy is that it still works despite its uneven tone and - while it is never laugh-out hilarious - makes nonetheless for passable entertainment . . .

It's rather sad that the only laughs to come from this comedy are when its dramatic moments fail so much.

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

Really, there are only so many fart jokes a person can take.

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

Essentially, Click is a modern-day version of It's A Wonderful Life, only with fart jokes.

Click has its heart in the right place but its head in the toilet, and thus works against itself despite some great moments.

With the jokes as predictable as they are unremarkable, "Click" ultimately should have turned its remote on itself, pressed rewind, and allowed us to revisit Sandler's best film, "Punch Drunk Love."

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

The effort is there, but nothing can save 'Click' from being another raunch-fest starring the emoting challenged Sandler.

If you can tolerate Sandler's juvenile humor, you'll also find something worthwhile.
