"Click"

TIME TO HAVE A BREAK! LET'S HAVE SOME MOVIE REVIEW GUYS!
DIRECTOR: FRANK CORACI
CAST: ADAM SANDLER, KATE BECKINSALE, CHRISTOPHER WALKEN, DAVID HASSLEHOFF
GENRE: COMEDY/DRAMA/FANTASY
Adam Sandler plays Michael Newman, a hopelessly workaholic architect whose profession leaves him torn between his loving family and his pompous boss (David Hasslehoff). Longing for a promotion, he come home stressed out every night, with very little time and energy to romance his beautiful wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), or to defend his two adorable little children (Joseph Castanon and Tatum McCann) from the snooty kid next door. One night, just like every other cantankerous, overworked family breadwinner should do, he snaps and vents his frustrations out on everyone, including the hormonal family dog.
Unreasonably peeved at having too many remote controls in his household, Michael heads to the nearest Bed, Bath and Beyond to find a universal remote. There, he meets an enigmatic, bumbling scientist named Morty (Christopher Walken) who gives him a one-of-a-kind remote, free of charge. Michael later on realizes, to his surprise, that the remote has the magical power to control just about every aspect of his life as if it were one big DVD. With a push of a button, he is able to rewind to memorable childhood experiences, mute his wife's nagging, and fast-forward through boring family dinners. But when the remote "malfunctions" and starts overriding his decisions, things go askew.
On a superficial level, Click is pretty much what you'd expect from a Coraci-Sandler team-up. (They are, after all, the same collaboration that brought us lowbrow classics such as The Waterboy and The Wedding Singer.) There is, however, a surprisingly substantial amount of schmaltz to spare in this. A Christmas Carol-meets-The Twilight Zone seriocomedy. While the film is expectedly awash with flatulent jokes, misogynistic sight gags, politically-incorrect remarks, and Sandler's trademark neurotic outbursts. It actually gets serious and mushy by the time the main character begins missing out on important details in his life.
While Click's plot does bear dangerously uncanny resemblance to Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life, the film still deserves brownie points for trying to do what most formulaic Adam Sandler goof-fests usually evade to do - to convey a message. The film also features strong assists from Henry Winkler and Julie Kavner (The voice behind Marge Simpsons) as Sandler's parents, and a hilarious blink-or-you'll-miss cameo by a heavily-disguised Rob Schneider.
