Click - Patti

This latest from Adam Sandler is an attempt to re-invent "It's a Wonderful Life," and all of the other movies like that Frank Capra classic. We barely meet the main characters when Sandler's character discovers the magical remote that will soon change his entire life. Then we're whisked away to lots of low-brow jokes and repetitive gimmicks.

Just when you're settling into the feel of it's middle-school humor, the movie takes a serious turn towards the melo-dramatic. Fans of Sandler's wackier side may not respond to this dip in emotions. It goes pretty low.

So, does Click succeed? Nah, not really. It has its moments of goofy laughter and sentimentalness, but overall, it just wasn't as heartwarming as 50 First Dates or The Wedding Singer. Without a doubt, the movie belongs to Christopher Walken who manages to steal every scene he is in. See it, if for nothing else, than to appreciate this legend.

VERDICT
WHO FELL ASLEEP: neither
