One of the best American films of the year so far.

Not everything jells, but Click is funnier and more elaborately clever than anything Sandler's done in years.

This comic fantasy is the best vehicle he's (Sandler) ever had, a high-concept goof that gradually darkens into an emotional nightmare reminiscent of Capra.

There 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.

Last 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.

The movie is gag-filled, as you would expect of a Sandler movie, but the filmmakers realize they have hit upon an idea that is both clever and good, so they edge their comedy into some darker areas of human behavior.

Click manages to sneak some surprisingly moving moments in between the gross-out gags and the schmaltzy resolutions.

The emotions seem genuine enough, even if Sandler is not a talented-enough actor to always pull them all off.

An unsteady mishmash of snot-nosed humor and treacly Hollywood sentimentality.

A near-saving grace is Christopher Walken, perfectly cast as the creepy store clerk who gives Michael the magic remote, then follows him through life like a gleefully incompetent guardian angel.
