Click reviewers are working way harder than they have to.

Check the news tomorrow to read about at least two movie reviewers somewhere who have spontaneously combusted. It’s the inevitable result of expending so much energy to conjure original puns for Click, Adam Sandler’s more or less sucktastically reviewed movie which begins assaulting moviegoers today.
In the interest of retaining our status as your One! Stop! Resource! for important movie news, Burbanked brings you a helpful round-up of the increasingly less clever Click review headlines:
So you’re saying that the movie - what, “clicks”?
Sandler’s trying, but this one doesn’t quite ‘Click’
It just doesn’t ‘Click’
Does Sandler ‘Click’? Not Remotely.
Something clicks for Sandler, and his new acting skills lift film (wha…?)
Oh, we get it - the movie has a remote control in it. Ha! Ha! Ho!
“Click”: There’s nothing remotely funny here
Sandler comedy is only remotely amusing
Remotely amusing
Not Remotely Good - Click finds Adam Sandler stuck in pause (two, two, two bad puns in one!)
Sandler’s ‘Click’ remotely funny
The charm is remote indeed
Really desperately struggling for originality now…
Where’s the fast-forward button?
‘Click’ - is there an ‘awful’ button?
Push the mute button…now
‘Click’ movie surfs both sides of Sandler
Crass ‘Click’ will have you fast-forwarding to exit
‘Click’ pushes all the right buttons
‘CLICK’ PUSHES RIGHT BUTTONS (OKAY, WE CAN HEAR YOU, THANKS)
70% effort, 2% coherency
Click rewinds old advice
Freeze frame future
‘Click’ into place
And finally, the two we actually found kind of clever
Pause & Effect (almost - ALMOST - helps us forgive the positive review)
‘Click.’ IckAnd that last one made our day.

because clearly Cage has decided to become action/thriller cinema’s first Polish great-grandma. (
Well, that’s too bad. Back a year or so ago when I heard that they’d be making a movie out of Judi and Ron Barrett’s terrific kids’ book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, I hoped maybe it’d be made live-action. Handled well, the idea of seeing an actual town where it rained hotdogs and baked beans in an open-roof restaurant, as well as the bit where sanitation trucks clean up all the leftover rain/snow/food and feed it to the pets would be, I thought, a bundle of CG-imbued cinema fun.
