DVD Description

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


Customer Reviews

Nothing funny about it

Jack Nicholson is wasted in this movie. He doesn't get to be JACK, he just plays a watered down characature of himself. But the worst aspect of the movie is the very basis of the story. Sandler's character keeps getting set up and as a viewer you keep wanting a payoff, a reprisal, but the point of the movie is that his character won't do it. So you have a buildup of tension throughout the movie followed by a weak and rushed attempt at a payoff. The movie should have been dumped in the first draft stage.

I chuckled at 3 throwaway gags in the film; the rest of the time I kept looking at my watch wondering when it would be over.


Temper is the one thing you cant get rid of by losing it

Excellent movie.

Jack rules.


"I feel pretty..."

Anger Management was a bit of a disappointment, considering the makeup of the cast: Adam Sandler, Jack Nicholson, Marisa Tomei, and Luis Guzman among others.
The movie brings to the screen the story of Dave Buznik whom the court sentences to compulsory anger management sessions following an incident on a plane.
The acting and the setting are above average, though the supporting actors are not that great (with the exception of the two girls that play the porn stars, WOW!) while their characters were overly exaggerated to the point that they got tiring AND annoying very early on.
As for the plot, the humor and the dialogues, they are nothing special.
Though the potential for a great movie was definitely there it fails to take off. A shame really... No masterpiece here.
If Adam Sandler is what you had in mind, check out the wonderful comedies: Happy Gilmore, the Wedding Singer and/or 50 First Dates.
