A good sign that a movie is going to be bad is if the three stars haven't made a total of three good movies in their lifetimes. This is a perfect example of that theory. Sandler had Airheads and Tomei had My Cousin Vinny but neither were even the star in their lone good movies. I've never seen a Jack Nicholson movie because I value my time. A friend of mine asked me if I had seen this and by the time I figured out that she wasn't talking about the Charlie Sheen show, she had forgotten why she asked in the first place. That's another omen. But being the good friend that I am, I decided to give this thing a shot. That was possibly the worst decision I made in my life. There's no reason to even talk about the supposed plot and acting because the movie ended for me at the one minute mark. That's right. By the time they had wasted one minute of my life they had jumped the shark and raped my brain. Immediately after the words Anger Management leave the screen it says Brooklyn, 1978. Then we see a kid wearing a Dukes Of Hazzard shirt. Even though I'm immediately suspicious, I decide to at least wait to hear some dialogue. Wouldn't you know it, the first line is "Hey Dave I like your Dukes Of Hazzard shirt". OK, now they had forced my hand, I had to pause the movie and find out when the show started. I literally only had to type "duk" into the search bar here and without clicking anything I can see that the show started in 1979. That's where a smart person would have turned off this trash. If they couldn't even do the slightest amount of research for a movie that cost $75 million to make(with no special effects), how can the rest of the movie not be total trash? It can't and it wasn't. I watch tons of low budget sci-fi movies and they all have better plots, acting and comedy. Never see this garbage.

Anger Management is one of the best movies i have ever seen with an excellent cast and story . I could not stop laughing Jack Nicholsons performance was very funny throughout the whole movie .Fans of both Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler will love this film .There is nothing bad i can say about this movie . The plot is very well thought out with no holes or problems like some of Adam Sandlers other movies . I have seen this movie at least ten times and every time i watch it it gets better . the supporting cast also help to make the movie so brilliant including Woody Harrelson and John Turturro who both have small but great parts in the film .

This is a comedy starring Adam Sandler, who plays a businessman wrongly sentenced to an anger-management program, where he meets aggressive instructor Buddy Rydell, played by Jack Nicholson. I saw this movie once, on a plane. It was an OK movie to pass the time during the jet ride. There are campy scenes at the expense of Sandler and the overly crazy Nicholson, mixing in to provide us with a mildly entertaining film. Marisa Tomei provided a nice balance of romance and drama, serving as Sandler's love interest. The plot was OK and the overall story was serviceable; I did find the script handling dealing with one's own anger clever, resulting in the characters serving up some good laughs and puns. The plot also didn't drag on that would have made this movie boring.Aside from some of the camp and downright silly sequences, like the monk scene, this movie is worth at least one watch. Grade C+

A childhood incident with the school bully leaves Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler) with a lasting trauma about public affection, as well as repressing his emotions.He is meek, mild mannered works for an abusive boss, his girlfriend still has a cordial relationship with her ex and Dave takes it all.Whilst on a business flight Dave loses his temper when he sits next to an annoying man called Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson), annoys a sky marshall, gets arrested and sentenced to anger management therapy operated by Dr Buddy Rydell who is unorthodox to say the least.It is revealed that Dave's girlfriend and Dr Rydell has set all this up to deal with Dave's emotional issues and release his anger in manageable ways rather than keeping it all zipped in.Its a rather mixed up film especially since Sandler was known for being the angry guy in his early comedy films and here he is rather mild being harassed by Joker Jack who is obnoxious and is the one getting the laughs. You can sympathise why Sandler reaches breaking point and yet ends up in even more trouble.Nicholson seems to be having fun and Sandler bounces off well with him, it seems obvious that Sandler has decided to play second fiddle to Nicholson and let him have the comedy limelight.
