Click . Another sure-fire Adam Sandler comedy, right? Click . The movie co-stars Kate Beckinsale, one of the hottest
Brits alive. Click . The movie is about a guy who control his entire life with a remote control. Click . Click . Click . Why the hell does this movie fire blanks?
Honestly, a Soviet monkey in space could write a positively funny comedy about a man who is given a remote control that controls every aspect of his life, especially one that stars Adam Sandler. After all, Sandler is the kind of guy who can pull off stories about crappy hockey players who are excellent golfers, or about idiots who have to repeat grade school. Sure, Sandler has had his misfires - Little Nicky and Mr. Deeds come to mind - but he generally can turn inane plots into inanely hilarious comedies.
Unfortunately, Click just isn''t funny enough. It has its moments, but its misfires more times than not. The film focuses way too much on the lamest jokes (various dogs humping a big toy) while completely ignoring the immense possibilites that one could explore with a universal remote control.
