I’m not an Adam Sandler fan, but do find some of his movies entertaining (50 First Dates, The Wedding Singer). Click, however, I didn’t care for. Sandler plays suburban everyman Michael Newman who’s given a magic remote that can control reality. I have a remote control for my DVD player, and I probably should taken a cue from the film and watched Click at 2x speed and with mute on. That would have saved an hour — and the film would have been just as understandable.
Every once in a while we pull out this flick — I think I’ve seen it five or six times, now. I’ll admit I skip out during the ending (right after the Flock of Seagulls guy in the airport), but everything up until that point is still quite hilarious — to me anyways — as I’m a definite product of the 1980s.
