here’s the off button? Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore, Anger Management) stars in "Click," a formulaic story that, after a handful of clever gags, soon disintegrates into a confusing mess. It’s worth a few laughs like all Sandler movies, but the risk of having a movie about a truly universal remote is simply that the audience might want one of them too during the movie.

If you've seen the previews for Click - wherein Sandler is handed a remote control for his life - you might wonder if it isn't it dangerously close to Bruce Almighty. Similarities aside, “Click" takes an old theme - getting a Christmas Carol-ish look and one’s life - and gives it an updated spin by dropping in Sandler and a universal remote that promises to change Michael's life.

The formula is all too known: a workaholic family man in shambles is presented with a tool to alter his reality for the better, or at least he thinks. Sandler plays Michael, an architect trapped in an endless cycle of work and family. He’s got no time for his loving wife Donna (Kate Beckinsale) and his two kids, Ben and Samantha (Joseph Castanon, Tatum McCann).

In dire need of a change, Michael heads into the Bed, Bath & Beyond in search of a universal remote control to handle all the electronic equipment in the house. There he meets Morty (an overly reined-in Christopher Walken) who’s the mind beyond the remote. He explains to Michael that it’s a remote that can speed up, pause, rewinds and subtitle everyday life.
