MOVIE REVIEW : "CLICK"
Running time : hard to tell when you are sleeping
Ok so the movie premise is great , a remote control to replace all remotes , don’t we know the problem !
Our lets call him , hero , finds that the device controls everything , yes that’s right even the family dog .
However this is a learning remote and auto repeats past actions even if they are unwelcome eg skipping forward in time to avoid quarrels with the wife and since there are plenty life starts moving forward rather fast etc etc .
This is were the humour ends and believe me there is plenty in the first third of the film but from there on in the movie descends into the kind of trite predictable moralistic bollocks that seems to be creeping back into Hollywood .
I won’t bore you but lets just say this, near the end the hero dies, now if this were a film made by the Poms apart from having less good looking thin people the hero would stay dead and we would all leave the theatre deeply moved but oh no, our hero comes to life , its all been a dream , but wait has it ? Frankly who give rats ass , can I say rats ass ?
My Rating first 30minutes 7/10 , rest 2/10 , “ending” the Van Trapp family award for wholesomeness
Best moment, the avocado and camembert filled fillo with coffee I had at the theatre café before hand and leaving at the end to go and get myself a new camera bag.
Jims rating : 4 sleeps during movie .
