"While scarping though yet another barrel’s bottom in attempting to drum up the words to encapsulate yet another Adam Sandler cinematic gastric bypass, I opted to take the higher road and rely on the pre-eminent wit of one Noel Coward for inspiration in slogging through “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.” His ode to depression, “The Bad Times are Just Around the Corner” accurately sums up just about every filmic experience I’ve had with one Adam Sandler. With the exception of some chuckles in “Happy Gilmore,” I have yet to find a redeeming quality to any of his films. But as each of his subsequent films continue to make box office dollars, I have now relinquished myself to the fact that there I am in the minority and that this comedic abomination is going nowhere soon. So I might as well embrace my disparity, just as the late, great Coward had more than 50 years ago. Ode to Depression (via Adam Sandler)

"By Tricia Olszewski Development hell is a place that even Superman can’t get out of. Or so it seemed when it came to Superman Returns, Warner Bros.’ apparently damned attempt to resurrect the Man of Steel, last seen in 1987’s Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Tim Burton, Nicolas Cage, Kevin Smith, Brett Ratner, Ashton Kutcher, Josh Hartnett, McG—at one time or another over the past 13 years, each of these names were attached to the project. So was a hero who didn’t wear the iconic duds, didn’t fly, and had some significant dealings with a giant robotic spider. By 2004, the flux was over, with X-Men vet Bryan Singer firmly in charge. His pitch had all the right moves: He wanted to keep the outfit. He wanted to keep the flying. He even wanted to keep John Williams’ score. He wanted to ditch the spider, of course. But most wisely, he wanted to take a let’s-forget-III-and-IV approach and continue the story from the franchise’s onl ... "

"The first 45 minutes of Click are pretty dreadful to sit through. Then, mysteriously, the movie gets progressively funnier. Somehow, at the end of it all, you're excited and laughing. I'm not sure how or why this works.. but halfway through the movie it starts becoming interesting and worthwhile. I feel like 4 stars is probably a little too high of a review for it... but then I remember every scene with David Hasselhoff in it and I think that rounding up is the least this movie deserves. All that said, a side note to Kate Beckinsale: Woman, I beg you - please be in a decent movie! I can't take much more of this! "

"Released: June 23, 2006Director: Frank Coraci*****Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) is a successful architect with a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) and two kids. He never seems to fit everything into his days. Working over the Fourth of July holiday, canceling a camping trip...work always dictates what they can (and can not) do. So when he is given a remote control by a slightly eccentric man (Christopher Walken) which can pause, rewind and fastforward his life, he uses it to get out of giving his wife a massage or sitting in traffic.Who hasn't imagined being able to control every aspect of their lives with a watch or remote control? Get through the bad quickly to enjoy the good? But, as the Spider-Man movies remind us, with great power comes great responsibility. Click works best when it combines humor and melodrama, as in a scene at a fireworks show. Teenage kids continually badger the families and Michael, on a work call, eventually gets so frustrated with them, he hops the ... "

"Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) is a workaholic architect who lately, has been putting his career before his family. While at a Bed Bath & Beyond one night shopping for a universal remote he meets a man by the name of Morty. (Christopher Walken) It's Morty that ends up changing Michael's life with the gift of a remote that not only controls the TV and other household appliances, but his own universe. Upon discovering the abilities the remote has Michael begins to use it to fast-forward through what he considers unpleasant and annoying. Such as fights with his wife and foreplay. As he does this the remote begins creating its own memory and eventually starts to automatically choose what to fast-forward through. Michael unremittingly goes further and further through his life as the remote continues to fast-forward. In turn, he realizes the importance of spending time with his family. 'Click' seemingly starts out will with its cutesy family wisecracks. And the first ... "

"I borrowed Click from my co-worker, who was quick to buy it for her vast collection. I like Adam Sandler, but like Will Ferrell, his movies are hit and miss for me. I love Happy Gilmore and 50 First Dates, for example, but I hate Mr. Deeds and Little Nicky. I did like Click because it was sweet, but this movie was made before, just without the novel concept of the mysterious universal remote control. Allow me to explain. First: the obligatory plot summary. Sandler plays Michael Newman, who's an overworked architect. He believes a bunch of empty promises from his annoying boss (played by the annoying David Hasselhoff) and does whatever he asks, in the meantime ignoring his wife and children. When he decides that he must simplify his life through the purchase of a universal remote control, he finds Morty (played by Christopher Walken) at a local Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Morty introduces Michael to something far more universal: a remote that can control Michael's life. With the ... "

"This was a disappointing movie. For a detailed analysis of the hidden meaning that was not in this film, check out the conversation post in the public Spout group "Deep Films with Hidden Meaning" and look for the conversation titled "Don't be Fooled....." For the recap here, I'll just leave it at "Ouch!" "
