Enough of Charlie; how about some Adam Sandler?

Since Charlie himself isn't giving us much to update about, you are all probably asking: Well, okay, what do critics say about Adam Sandler's latest? To which end Tram provides this:

Charlie 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. Any one of those features would make for an interesting movie: “Rewind” could be Kaufman's Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, about cherishing memories and experiences, even the bad ones. “Fast-forward” is basically A Christmas Carol, which ends with the Ghost Of Christmas Future making Scrooge take stock of the present. And “Pause” would make a heck of a voyeuristic Brian De Palma or Paul Verhoeven film. But this being an Adam Sandler vehicle, the premise is turned into yet another story about a man-child learning to overcome his arrested adolescence, which means that Sandler keeps his thumb glued to the “fast-forward” button. Unless he wants to fart in his boss' face or kick some poor schlub in the balls. Then it's pause time. (Source)

Sounds neat!
