Recent Review: Click (2006)

This new blog segment isn't really different then the regular "Review" series. For these "Recent Reviews", I will be reviewing a movie that isn't new (which would be included in a simple "Review"), or a movie that is very old (a "Classic Review") - I will review a movie that is in-between. For the first "Recent Review" I will review the 2006 comedy/drama - Click.


Adam Sandler is known for his humorous roles, as that is where he excels. But in Click, Sandler shows us that he can expertly blend his special brand of humor with strong emotion that can be found in the later half of Click, with scenes powerful enough to make some people cry.

Unfortunately, despite a well-done performance by Sandler, the movie doesn't come together well. The plot line is quite unoriginal, and many of the humor scenes seem forced, probably because the producers were trying to balance the drama and comedy of the film.

The rest of the cast doesn't match Sandler's performace either. Many of the lines seem bland, and the characters don't develop as well as they could because of the apathy of the actors. Click gets an unimpressive 5/10 because of all these major flaws.
