Remote Control

As a fan of Adam Sandler, it's nice to see him back on the big screen, in the comedy Click (opening today).

I'm rooting for this one to work, because in my opinion, his career has really stalled lately and he needs a hit. His last few films, The Longest Yard from last year, Spanglish and 50 First Dates (both 2004) were uneven at best. Having said that, I still admire the fact that he has decided to take risks with more dramatic roles in Spanglish and the better realized Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

Predictions are that Click will be number one at the box office for the weekend:

'Click' is it 'til biggies hit say Variety's Ben Fritz and Dave McNary

Joshua Rich of Entertainment Weekly agrees:

Adam Sandler's latest will "Click" with moviegoers and thinks--The comedy will draw both men and women, to the tune of $55 mil

The trailer for the film is funny...but is that all there is--in terms of the film's big laughs? And does the premise sustain itself throughout an entire film?

Judging by the Review Round-Up...the answer would be "no"

Next Up: A small movie that no one's heard of...I think it's called Superman Returns.
