Summary: I Feel Pretty
Review: This movie is friggin hilarious!! It has you laughing at the beginning - and keeps you laughing until the credits roll. Of course, who's surprised? Putting Nicholson and Sandler together was pure genius. These two contrast and compliment each other at the same time - and they do so beautifully. You have no idea how fun this movie is until you watch it!! Sandler has bottled-up anger that he isn't even aware of. . . but someone knows all about it. And help is on the way. Nicholson steps in as his anger management therapist and Sandler's "calm" life goes right out the window. There are so many faces in this one you will recognize - too many to mention them all in fact. But suffice it to say that Nicholson and Sandler aren't the only big names here. There are a few scenes I would like to have seen happen - that didn't - but that's just me. The bottom line is this movie delivers. It has everything you want from a comedy - a famous cast, loads of laughs, and memorable scenes. Plus - there's an oh so cute chubby cat. LOL! I expect we'll see another team up between these two stars in the near future - at least - I hope so.

Summary: Not as funny as expected
Review: The formula sounds fool-proof. Adam Sandler plays a designer of clothes for overweight cats who, through a series of unfortunate incidents, is sentenced to go through an anger management program with therapist Jack Nicholson. Although it seems that the comic possibilities are endless, somehow the laughs fail to come. There are a few funny moments, but they are surrounded with over-the-top, unfunny antics by the pushy Nicholson and unbelievable naivete by Sandler. There are several cameo appearances which are humorous and very appropriate for a film on anger management, but watch carefully because some of them are very brief. This is a concept loaded with potential which somehow falls flat from poor writing. The actors try hard, but are not given much to work with.

Summary: A Flawed but very funny film
Review: I admit that Anger Management isn't a great film and that it falls apart a lot by the end but....I still liked it a lot. I think it's better than a lot of Adam Sandler films and that he's better in it than he is in a lot of his others. It's nice for a change to see him play a guy who has trouble expressing his anger. I mean usually he plays a sweet and caring guy who has a huge anger problem....here he's sweet and caring and has trouble expressing his emotions. At the end though I was disapointed that it turned into the usual Sandler film with the "You Can Do It!" and everyone cheering for him. I'm recommending the movie for all the laughs there were before the weak baseball stadium scene. It's so much fun seeing Sandler and Nicholson together especially with Nicholson in excellent nutty form. The scene where Nicholson makes Sandler sing that Westside Story song "I feel pretty" is very funny. I know they did that in Analyze That as well but unlike in that it's actually funny here. The supporting work by Woody Harrelson, Heather Grahem and John Turturro is fun as well. Critics and some people think a Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler movie called Anger Management could've been a lot better. I think they work great together and that the film is a lot of fun despite some weak writing. It's not great but it certainly doesn't suck.....at all.

Summary: It¿s funny but it could have been more.
Review: Decent Adam Sandler flick that has him paring off with the great Jack Nicholson in a robust comedy that mildly entertains but squanders its potential to be better by its flimsy plotline. It's a great Saturday night flick with the guys but nothing more than that.

Summary: Uncredited actors: Heather Grahm + John C.Reilly co-star
Review: Anger management should be called " Assertiveness training" because the man who Adam Sandler is portraying is really not angry at all but a passive man who allows everyone to be angry with him. Surprisingly the cast includes two uncredited actors: Heather Grahm ( Drugstore Cowboy,Boogie Nights,License to Drive )
as a dreamgirl--and John C.Reilly
( Gangs of New York,Chicago,Magnolia,Boogie Nights )as the grown up version of the childhood bully )of Adam Sandler's character.The cast has Academy Award Winner Jack Nicholson of "As Good as it Gets","Terms of Endearment","Easy Rider" --he's billed second to Sandler which is odd. Academy Award Winning actress Marisa Tomei( My Cousin Vinny,Happy Accidents )is good in this but there is no romantic or sexual chemistry between Adam Sandler & Marisa Tomei and the one 'real' kiss is proof of that--however--This is a very very funny movie filled with laugh-out-loud comedy and rewind it just to see and hear it to laugh again & laugh some more. The script is intelligently written.John Turturrow ( Quiz Show,Do the Right THing ) is hilarious as a man in anger management therapy. A cameo of Woody Harrelson ( The People Vs.Larry Flynt )as a German woman is also funny.Luiz Guzman ( Confidence,Carlitos' Way & also of the movie:"Boogie Nights"- is this movie a "Boogie Nights"reunion ?)is solid as another candidate for therapy.
Anger Management has an excellent soundtrack of pleasant 1970's soft rock along with classic 1970's rock n'roll that is music to the ears ( pun intended ). Sandler is best known for roles in such movies as "Big Daddy","Mr.Deeds","The Wedding Singer". Speaking of singing- remember Adam Sandler on Saturday Night Live as "Opera Man " ? He is forced to sing as part of his therapy and sing he does. This is a really good comedy that really plays up a great script with great acting and lots of laughter set to a good soundtrack- Enjoy !

Summary: An Unsatisfactory Middle Ground
Review: I admit, I'm not an Adam Sandler fan. With the exception of Punch-Drunk Love, his performances generally bore and annoy me. I had some hope for this film however, due to the presence of Jack Nicholson. Unfortunately, this pairing may actually hurt the film more than it helps it. It hangs loosely onto a line between slapstick humor and more sophisticated dark humor, but since it never decides which it would rather be, it leaves viewers with an empty feeling (although it generally sides with the slapstick more than dark humor). We get little moments of Happy Gilmore-style humor, little moments of Alexander Payne-type humor, but both are so few and far between that the film accomplishes nothing.How low has our sophistication in humor dropped if director Peter Segal really thinks we'll get a kick out of two girls making out with guys gawking in reaction? We've seen this a million times. It wasn't too funny the first time; it certainly isn't funny now. Wedgies, practical jokes, and tackling ensue. So hey, if people getting hit in the head makes you laugh, have fun with this one. But, as I mentioned before, there isn't as much as a typical Sandler film, and there certainly isn't enough of the good old Jack we know and love. Actually, I take that back. For some reason, Jack decided to play off all of his own stereotypes throughout the entire film. The eyebrow lifts, the underlying rage ready to blow. This is his anti-About Schmidt role and comes off as extremely disappointing. Basically, if you're looking for a movie that requires no ounce of concentration, here you go. If you like Sandler's typical films (practically everything besides Punch-Drunk Love), Anger Management shouldn't disappoint too much, if at all. However, if you are a huge Nicholson fan, this probably will disappoint you. A lot. Pretty much brainless humor without the senseless joy most brainless humor films contain.

Summary: Good Review
Review: If this movie was a person I would shove those five stars right up its a$$. In no way did this movie help me with my anger except make it stronger and more violent. I have become the person that everybody runs from like the incredible hulk. I spit when i talk. I give this movie two thumbs down its throat.
Anyone who sees this movie is going to have serious mental problems and become insane in their veins. Thank you for hearing me and enjoy the movie!!

Summary: Good, but I've seen better from Nicholson
Review: As much as I despise Adam Sandler, this was a rather good movie. He was funnier than he has been in the past and it seemed like he had finally dropped that "Look at how stupid I can be" routine. Nicholson's dry humor did not show as much in this movie. He was energetic and he had a way of pulling the characters into the middle of the story. If you're used to his other movies, you might see a side of him you did not expect. Overall, this movie was funny and surprising and the end of the movie reveals Sandler's REAL reason for having to participate in Anger management therapy. It's a nice twist that I certainly didn't expect.

Summary: Even Jack Couldn't Save It
Review: Just knowing that Adam Sandler is in this should steer the intelligent away, but then there is Jack, whose presence is likely to make many give it a try (it did for me). Don't bother. Sandler is his usual, formulaic, and unfunny self. Jack hasn't sunk this low since the bottom-feeding 60's cult classic "The Trip."
