BookmarkA non-confrontational man ends up in anger management with an aggressive instructor.The irresistible pairing of Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler is the best reason to see Anger Management, a comedy that might loosely be called The Funny and the Furious. Nicholson and especially Sandler have screen personas that partially rely on pent-up anxieties, so there’s definite potential in teaming them as a mild-mannered designer of pet clothing for chubby cats (Sandler) who’s been ordered to undergo anger-management therapy with a zany counselor (Nicholson) prone to occasional tantrums and devious manipulation. Surely this meandering comedy looked better on the page; director Peter Segal scores a few lucky scenes (particularly Sandler’s encounter with a Buddhist monk, played by John C. Reilly), but a flood of cameos (Heather Graham, Woody Harrelson, Rudolph Giuliani, and others) can’t match the number of laughs that fall flat. As Sandler’s understanding girlfriend, Marisa Tomei plays a pivotal role in a happy ending that leaves everyone smiling, with the possible exception of the audience. –Jeff Shannon

I saw this film with a few close friends of mine back in June and we all laughed the entire way through. Sandler and Nicholson are a hit together, and I personally think they should team up again. Go out and get the movie to watch immediately!

“Anger Management” is a typical Adam Sandler movie. There are some great laughs here and there but I think so much more could have been done with the great cameo appearances that seemed almost too gratuitous – meaning, they tried too hard at times. To me, if you will have the cameos, do more with them – don’t just stick ‘em in as filler material.Jack Nicholson does an admirable job portraying a psychotic psychologist. I do like that the end of the movie has a nice/fun twist – it made the movie tolerable.Again, I laughed here and there but I’ve laughed harder. I don’t regret the experience but I doubt I’ll add it to my DVD collection.

This is possibly the worst movie I’ve seen in years. There is nothing good about this movie! The story is bad and the acting is even worse. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your money on this dreadful film. I could barely stay in the theatre.

The first time that I saw this movie on video, I was disappointed and told my ‘Nicholson fan’ friends so. Since the ending is a surprise, when I watched it again I saw the whole storyline in a different light. I actually found myself watching it several more times to catch more and more of the layers and details.As annoying as Nicholson was in this movie, one cannot take his character [Buddy Rydel] at face value. When you consider the ending and go back over all his dialogue, you begin to see that he was very up front and truthful about most everything he told Dave (Sandler). I later became convinced of the sincerity of Buddy (Nicholson) in other situations–like provoking Dave with Galaxia. If you watch this movie more than once you put on different lenses and see from a different vantage point.I agree with other reviewers–the first viewing may have you despising Nicholson and giving a thumbs down to the film. I did at first. Now it grew on me to be one of my favorites..One of my favorite characters in this movie was Chuck. I love his wild looks, and many of his lines are my favorites… “no more fudgicles” and “you’re not ready” – the Granada stuff, etc. WAs Buddy just being outrageously disgusting and perverse when he flipped off rival “Linda’s best friend” …? – I think not. If you watch the film with a different paradigm, you can see that Buddy was truly doing “his work”, and that included not only protecting Dave (Sandler), but having the innate manly ability to discern an enemy to Sandler and “the cause” he’s undertaken to help. There are even a couple of times when Nicholson is even impressed with how his student [Sandler] fared during the process…in my opinion when he brought “the girls” to the club (strong move) and also when he dealt with his childhood nemesis who had become a monk. That has to be the funniest scene in the movie!If you have ever known a nice guy with implosive anger, this will really strike a chord. If you have ever sat in a group counseling session (like 12 step), then you will laugh noddingly.Anger Management. At first I didn’t like it. Watched it some more, and I’m still seeing new things in it. I really like it a lot.Jack Nicholson – annoying and dopey OR masterful? Nicholson is not going to (at this stage in his career and life) allow himself to be in a dud movie. I say that this one has some layers to mine for gold…Hope you will give it another try!

There’s not a whole lot to say about Anger Management, Adam Sandler’s latest comedy. It’s a simple and entertaining comedy that will make you laugh out loud more than once. Adam Sandler fans will love it while people who aren’t too fond of him will only see it as a mediocre comedy.
