- 80Dallas ObserverLuke Y. ThompsonDallas ObserverLuke Y. ThompsonNot everything jells, but Click is funnier and more elaborately clever than anything Sandler's done in years.
- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliThere are times when the comedian falls back on his typical shtick, but the film doesn't shy away from the darkness inherent in this kind of story, and it has a heart.
- 75Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanCharlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanLast week, the American Film Institute named "It's a Wonderful Life" the most inspiring movie in the history of the English language. The film was initially a flop, but it's now considered so perfect that nobody would dare remake it - under that title. Folks who see Click will have no trouble connecting the dots.
- 60L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasL.A. WeeklyScott FoundasAfter an hour of predictably sophomoric antics involving foulmouthed kids, compulsively self-pleasuring canines and the rampant objectification of women, Click turns into a surrealist death dream in which Sandler's masochistic impulses flower onscreen as never before.
- 50The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasCharlie Kaufman could have made a great movie out of Click, a soupy existential comedy about a "universal remote" that lets a man magically rewind, fast-forward, and pause his life.
- 50Miami HeraldConnie OgleMiami HeraldConnie OgleA sporadically funny, always predictable, weirdly downbeat fantasy.
- 38Chicago TribuneChicago TribuneAside from influences such as "A Christmas Carol" and "It's a Wonderful Life," Click is so much like the Jim Carrey vehicle "Bruce Almighty"--Steve Koren and Mark O'Keefe worked on both--the writers could sue themselves for plagiarism and then write a screenplay about it.
- 38Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPhiladelphia InquirerSteven ReaIf the moral of Click is a stop-and-smell-the-roses bromide about how family comes first, the real message of this sappy, potty-mouthed seriocomedy is that a steady diet of Drakes and Hostesses will do you no good.
- 30Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovSandler is a post-Catskills goldmine of potential, he always has been, and when he's willing to break with tradition (a là Punch Drunk Love), he's downright revelatory. Not this time, though. This time he's just dying.
- 25PremierePremiereClick is yet another uninspired Adam Sandler goof-fest with a long suffering leading lady, mildly bawdy gags--see Joe Schomo oogle female jogger--and a predictable ending.
