Click is the story of a man frustrated with his life. He is frustrated because he desires monetary success, but really he is frustrating himself. In an effort to have less stress he leaves home late on night to purchase a universal remote control since he has too many. I thought this was the first oddity of the movie and it didn't really seem interesting. Long story short, he goes to the "Beyond" department of Bed, Bath and Beyond where "Morty" gives him a remote that controls his, Adam Sandler's, universe. There were some nifty things at first, but overall this movie seemed to lack ... everything. For sure Adam Sandler sways between I love and hate his work. for example I live The Wedding Singer and Mr. Deeds, but hate The Waterboy and Billy Madison. This story is the typical family is more important than money/success type thing but it's pulled of poorly. I never got to a level where I cared much about the characters. You know his boss, David Hasselhoff, better than his wife. His wife is also waaaaaay out of his league and I suppose there was some sort of neat romance story but it really gets glossed over. Instead you get more Hasselhoff. To his credit Hasselhoff played his character well, and everyone else seemed like they were just showing up for work. The movie was worth finishing but overall a waste of time.
I don't recommend this movie.
P.S. I also rented Running Scared based on the cast and reviews on the box. Canned it after ten minutes when the opening bloody shootout appeared to be acted out by 12 yr olds.
Total suckfest!
