"This is definitely not one of Sandler's best films -- no 'Wedding Singer' romantic sensitivity or 'Waterboy' innocent appeal emerges here."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

B-
"Those going in expecting Happy Gilmore Gets A Remote will be gravely disappointed."  FromTheBalcony  Bill Clark

3.5/5
"Click is sappy and saccharine, but it's the good kind of cleansing, cathartic corniness."  DVD Verdict  Bill Gibron

C+
"Click will surely dishearten even Sandler's most forgiving faithful, while putting the casual viewer right to sleep."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

"Applied to any number of basic frameworks%u2014waterboying, wedding-singing, Winona Ryder's deceiving, Drew Barrymore's forgetting, Jack Nicholson's raging%u2014the formula, as we all know too well, has been profitable and then some. "  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

1/5
"It's rather sad that the only laughs to come from this comedy are when its dramatic moments fail so much."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

C
"'It's a Wonderful Life' with fart jokes."  EDGE Boston  David Foucher

2/4
"While Adam Sandler remains a performer of endless charisma, his choice of material is growing increasingly questionable as the years pass."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2/4
"Plays to the lowest-common-denominator for so long that it can never quite redeem itself when the tone suddenly dims and turns into a tearjerker."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C
"The comedy is weak and the tugs at the heartstrings are only slightly stronger."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2/4
"Instead of high concept turning into comedy gold with a touch of sentiment, we get a childish load of staleness that farts in the face of its Capraesque pursuit."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

D
"The only thing about this movie I didn't hate was Hasselhoff. "  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

2/4
"En un minuto es una comedia y el siguiente es un drama. En un minuto es un filme familiar y el siguiente es uno para adultos. En un minuto está ofreciendo una lección de vida y el siguiente un par de gigantes senos en movimiento, en zoom y cámara lenta."  Doncinema.com  Flavio J. Arosemena

1/4
"[A] painfully generic and gimmicky comedy. Relentlessly interminable, predictable and drowsy in concept. Sandler's man-child routine has already run its course ad nauseam."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

D-
"A gimmicky one-joke effects comedy that's even worse when it tries to be sweet, fuzzy and--heaven help us--instructive about what's really important."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/5
"Takes a great idea and runs it into the ground."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"It accomplishes what it sets out to do: tell an occasionally amusing, occasionally affecting drama about how adults often lose sight of what matters."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

"What is surprising about Adam Sandler's latest comedy is that it still works despite its uneven tone and - while it is never laugh-out hilarious - makes nonetheless for passable entertainment . . ."  SA Movie & DVD Magazine  James O'Ehley

"The advice here is to use the remote God gave you, and steer clear of the theater. "  In the Dark  Jonathan F. Richards

3.5/5
"αν και το μήνυμα της ταινίας είναι στοιχειώδες κα&"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

2.5/4.0
"Good, but this was much better when it was called Scrooged."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

3.5/5
"a fun little movie that impressed me more than it probably should"  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

3/4
"A surprisingly sentimental twist on the Adam Sandler formula."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

C+
"Most likely a well intentioned reaction to the death of both [Sandler's] father and beloved dog Meatball, "Click" plays like "It's a Wonderful Life to the Future" with superior makeup effects but subpar writing and production values. "  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

2/4
"Ultimately, you have to ask yourself how willing you are to be put through the emotional wringer by a slob comedy, or preached to about personal priorities by Hollywood multi-millionaires."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

"SANDLER: And there's gotta be like tons of f**kin' hot chicks all over, like maybe in my office. 'Cause it's a guy fantasy, right, shuttin' up the wife and kids and sh*t, right?"  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

1.5/4
"I've never been a fan of Sandler's humor, but if the alternative is him struggling mightily to convey angst, bring on the 'You can do it!' callbacks and Rob Schneider cameos."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

3/4
"It's a flawed film, but most people go to Adam Sandler movies to just unwind and have fun. It works at that level."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

B-
"There were times when I wanted a universal remote to fast-forward through repeated jokes about a dog having sex with a stuffed animal or children using four-letter words."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1/4
"A misbegotten version of It's a Wonderful Life by way of Bicentennial Man."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2/5
"The movie's ending will come as a complete surprise to anyone not familiar with It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, or the 7th season of Dallas."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

D
"The first half of Click is merely unfunny; the second is the most shameless appeal to sentiment since The Day the Clown Cried."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

C
"A movie with a lot of wasted potential. It looks like it was made by a bunch of schmucks."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

2/5
"It's a movie that shoots lazily for Capraesque and settles happily for Crapesque."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

6/10
"Sappy and sentimental, it, nevertheless, has heart."  Modamag.com  Susan Granger

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
