Ranking: **

The movie isn't great and Adam Sandler fails to amuse audiences with his insipid jokes. The subject is interesting but scriptwriters, Steve Koren and Mark O'Keefe, have ruined it by infusing dumb sequences and an unnecessary dose of sex.

In terms of execution, the film is disjointed at many places. It is more like a series of apparently unrelated, and at times unexciting scenes that attempt to make viewers laugh.

"Click" revolves around Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) who is bogged down by the unending demands of his boss Ammer (David Hasselhoff). The work pressure is so high that Michael realises that spending quality time with his wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), and children has become increasingly difficult.

When a frustrating bout with the television remote leads Michael in search of a universal remote, he bumps into a mysterious looking guy Morty (Christopher Walken) who changes his life.

Morty gives him a device that will not only allow complete control over television and stereo, but his entire life as well.

Initially, Michael finds the device a blessing but very soon it turns into a nightmare for him.

In this whole drama what surprises viewers is Michael's coldness towards his wife played by Beckinsale who has nothing much to do. She is more like a showpiece in the film.

And the climax is too obvious to be stirring.

So, in short "Click" is a below average comedy.
