Click / USA / 2006

A few weeks ago in my note on Happy Gilmore I lamented the fact that Sandler’s films too often stop short of greatness thanks to a lack of ambition, and lazy scripting. Click is a perfect case in point- it’s entertaining enough, but never fully explores the literally limitless potential in the concept. Christopher Walken steals the show effortlessly, getting all the best moves and most of the funniest lines. And the film is surprisingly emotional- the third act moves into dark and tragic territory, with moderate success. But none of this can distract from the fact that it just isn’t funny enough.
