five out of ten
Adam Sandler plays an overworked overambitious architect on the path to making partner at his firm. He discovers a remote which can zip him over the tough or boring parts of his life to get him to the good times. However this process results in him losing precious moments of his life and those he loves dearly. This movie had great potential. The concept is great. Unfortunately it tanks in a most awful manner. Adam Sandler in my opinion can only play a certain type of role such as the sort he played in Big Daddy, or Billy Madison (though he did a decent job in Spanglish). Click was not a movie that he acted well in at all. The entire time I couldn't help but think that an actor such as Jim Carrey would be much better suited to play the role.
Aside from Adam Sandler's acting the plot was unsure of itself. It began as a comedy and then somewhere along the way took a different turn. I won't deny the movie's message is a good one, and there were some scenes that were definitely touching with strong messages. However, overall, if I was to watch this movie again, I'd be watching with my very own "click" and fast forwarding it along.
