If Adam Sandler comedies are your meat and drink, you'll probably complain that he's not as funny as he usually is in this Capra-like parable.
If you can't generally stand the man, you may give him credit for trying to be a little more serious.
He plays Michael, a hardworking architect who neglects his wife (Kate Beckinsale) and children (Joseph Castanon and Tatum McCann) but then finds what he thinks is the answer to his troubles. It is a remote control, given him by a fuzzy-haired angel (Christopher Walken) which can fast-forward or reverse his life as he wishes.
Needless to say, it gets completely out of hand and so does the film, moving from comedy into a sentimental parable about living properly that has reminders of It's a Wonderful Life or A Christmas Carol.
But please don't think that Click is as good as these two classic tales. It's uneven and ultimately unsatisfactory.
Not funny enough as a comedy and not sharp enough as a morality play.
