In the cinema: Click

I don't want to like Adam Sandler, but I can't seem to escape his movies. Ever since my wife and I saw a trailer for it months ago, my wife has had her heart set on seeing it. It looked funny.

Here's the concept of the movie: Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) gets a universal remote that truly controls his entire universe. He uses it to fast forward through point in his life so he can get right to the next level in his career. In doing so he misses out the joys of having a family... then dies. Then awakes for a second chance at life.

The movie is funny and very entertaining, but feels strangely long for 98 minutes. There are certain pluses in the movie. You have Christopher Walken, David Hasselhoff, and of course the sultry Kate Beckinsale.

It was better than I expected it to be, and certainly funny. I would say it's worth a view if you're in the mood for something amusing.
