Although, I feel like his breakdown is exceedingly complex in his attempt to prove the point. Let's call it a bitter-sweet finding since ultimately the net gross of the "rotten" movies still outweighs the "fresh" ones. Still, it's definitely encouraging to think that the public does take into account the critical reception of certain films. As for Click, I simply can't let it off the hook. I thought it was needlessly depressing, contained a contrived ending that simply didn't work, and brought in far too much of the low-brow humor that Sandler has always been known for. Honestly, I could see the concept working to a certain extent, but it was definitely bungled in that film. Well, that is reassuring.
