Capra Meets Gilmore: Does Adam Sandler's latest 'click' or fizzle


When I saw the trailer for the Adam Sandler movie Click, I said Oh S**t, another horrible summer movie. Although it does have some stupid and raunchy gags, ie farts boobs etc.,it also has a corny but sweet message: Family Comes First. Sandler plays Michael Newman, an architect that barely has time for his family. He finds a universal remote, that is given to him by Morty (Christopher Walken.) At first he loves it but it develops a mind of its own and fast forwards until he is fat divorced, rich and even more neglectful. The film has touching if cliched scenes a la It's a Wonderful Life, and it is better than some of the hit comedies out there. (*cough* Nacho Libre.)
