L.A. WeeklyScott Foundas
After an hour of predictably sophomoric antics involving foulmouthed kids, compulsively self-pleasuring canines and the rampant objectification of women, Click turns into a surrealist death dream in which Sandler's masochistic impulses flower onscreen as never before. Read full review

NewsweekDavid Ansen
As a moral fable Click holds no surprises; as a Sandler comedy, it's unusually dark, occasionally touching and pretty funny. Read full review

Village VoiceMichael Atkinson
De rigueur hypocritical as it may be coming from Hollywood, Click is a cultural critique, with the dull blade and impact of a battle-ax... But it's a farce about loss, and it doesn't flinch. Read full review

EmpireSam Toy
Another 'nice' Sandler comedy that works, thanks to some smart and genuinely moving ideas at its core. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
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. Read full review

Miami HeraldConnie Ogle
A sporadically funny, always predictable, weirdly downbeat fantasy. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
Despite its ultra-formulaic premise and juvenile sense of humor, there are a few laughs, and the movie's heart is generally in the right place, with the notable exception of racist characterizations of an Arab prince and Japanese businessmen. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
An uneasy mix of frat-boy yocks and "Twilight Zone"-style science-fiction. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
It's not just sad, it's brutal. There's an undercurrent of cold, detached cruelty in the way Michael uses the magical device. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick Groen
The only effect is to produce that most commonplace of Hollywood paradoxes -- a mood simultaneously frantic and listless. Read full review

At times dark and at other times gooey. Read full review

VarietyJustin Chang
Adam Sandler's recent low-key phase continues with this cleverly conceived but conspicuously unfunny comedy. Read full review

Film ThreatPete Vonder Haar
The problem with Sandler’s latest movies is that he now feels the need to inject some sort of dramatic conflict in order to complete his character’s shallow story arc of maturation/redemption. Introducing such mawkish sentimentality causes the humor level in his films, never that elevated to begin with, to sink like America’s credibility overseas. Read full review

SalonAndrew O'Hehir
I don't think any of it really hangs together as anything resembling drama, or that Michael is ever a remotely likable character, before or after his day of reckoning. But Adam Sandler didn't get where he is today by making movies for me and Roger Ebert to like. Read full review
