This turned out to be a very disappointing film. I did laugh a few times but over all it was just not good. Even Kate Beckinsale couldn't save this one. She wasn't in it enough to level things out. Adam Sandler seemed to just be going through the motions for most of the film. It really seemed like no one had any real idea of what they should be doing.
And it was way to long. If it had been a bit shorter it wouldn't have been as bad. Really it just seemed to spend at least an hour just beating you over the head with it's family before work message.
One nice surprise in the movie was the couple small scenes with Jennifer Coolidge. Always a riot in anything she's in. And that flash back scene when she had a mohawk was priceless.
Spoilers ahead:
Really just one important plot thing here. The reason the lenght of the movie was to much was not just because they were beating you over the head with the message but because you knew from just before he got the remote that the damn thing was a dream. He lays down on a bed and then suddenly sees the door where he ends up finding Christopher Walken. Come on it's bad enough when a movie turns out to be a dream but, to give it away and then drag it out for what seems like an eternity is just stupid. Sure they tried to save it there at the end when the remote returns and he throws it away but that was even dumber.
I saw this at a matinee and it so wasn't worth it. It is really only worth seeing on video.

I think this is the first time you've had back to back negative reviews on your blog. I almost paid full pride to see "Poseiden" but I'm glad I didn't...I never thought "Click" looked very good.
Yes it is. And me going to two movies in a row that end up not being worth it (especially when there aren't high hopes for one) is so rare I don't even know the last time it happened. There's a chance it's never happened.
