Summary: "Anger Management"
Review: I really did not like this one at all. It was rude, unfunny and pointless. The script has holes, the driector (Peter Segal) has had better days, and Adam Sandler is not funny!
The picture has to many jokes about masturbation and penis size, and after a while they got very rude. The only bright spot in this movie was Marisa Tomei. Jack Nickleson was not very funny and the ending was totally stupid and predictable. Oh and the part they beat up the monk was so stupid! If anything I mentioned is you idea is funny then check out this movie, but for anyone else say away, far away!
If you want a funny Sandler movie rent "Mr. Deeds"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: it just tastes better !!!!!!
Review: i saw this movie twice in the same day, it happened to be the release day !!!!

I saw it the first time , then drove for one hour to pick my sister and come watch it again

then , 6 days later,today, i am going to watch it with sister and my mother

and in few days i will go watch it with a friend !!!!!

It is absolutely hilarious , it is not that kind of movies where laughing comes from "a fat bastard" or from a bucket of water washing a man ia a suit and tie !!!!!
tens of hilarious situations and embarrassing moments , are the core of this movie

The best two bits are "Goosfraba" and "I feel Pretty"
and let's never forget about the MARVELOUS END

I haven't laughed like this in 10 years , this movie is even better than "As Good as it Gets"

to sum it up

WHETHER YOU HAVE OR YOU HAVEN"T DONE YET , GO WATCH IT NOW !!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Round One, Ding!!!
Review: They say if you go to enough movies, you'll see your own story soon enough. I won't go into detail, but this Adam Sandler/Jack Nicholson comedy is a surprisingly funny and accurate recreation of my own recent life. Adam Sandler plays David Buznik, a docile, timid sales rep. with a lack of ability to deal with confrontation. One day, while on a plane where he's sitting next to Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson), who seems to have a huge problem with talking during the movie. Through a huge misinterpretation of his quiet behavior on the plane, he is (mis)diagnosed as a walking Anger-machine and is sentenced to anger management classes. Ironically, Buddy Rydell is the therapist David is stuck with. Also ironically is how much more Rydell needs anger management than David does. This movie is comedy heaven, easily Sandler's (and Nicholson's) funniest film to date. Here's the most memeorable dialouge exchange between them:
Buddy:"David, there are two kinds of angry people, explosive and implosive. Explosive people show their anger relentlessly. Implosive people are like the cashier in a super market who take their punishment day by day until they finally burst out and shoot the customers in the grocery store. David, I think your'e the cashier.
David:"No,no,no, I'm the guy back in the frozen food section dailing 911."

Boy, that Rydell is one weird guy. He's so insistant on "curing" David, he's moves in with him, and even insists sleeping in his bed. Here's some dialouge from that particualr scene:
Buddy:"You know David, in Europe, it's not considered unusual for 5 or 6 men to sleep in the same bed."
David:"That's why I'm proud to be an American."

This is a real switch for Adam Sandler. He usually plays guys who need not only to be in anger management, but to be tazered and thrown in front of a judge. Those characters never got any of those punishments, but David suffers all three in the course of this movie. In fact, after this class, he may really need anger management, since the frustration he has to deal with often causes his to have outburts at other people. One of the most hilarious scenes involves Buddy forcing David to stop his car in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge and making him sing a childish song to cope with his "anger". And a running gag involves Buddy calming Daivd and other anger managees by saying "Goosefraba, Goosefraba" over and over.

Bottom Line, I reccomend this film to everyone, especially people actually in anger management classes or those misunderstood as agressive people. It's just a Hilarious comedy. And only those who have seen Sandler's first film "Billy Madison" will get the irony of how Nicholson's name is mentioned in that film, and Sandler is now doing a movie with him. Think about it.

Summary: Once More With Feeling, Nicholson the Wild Rebel
Review: Jack Nicholson is a rebel with humor and feeling, someone delightfully unpredictable. Who can forget him with a zany grin on his face playing a writer over the edge in Stephen King's "The Shining" and the great Stanley Kubrick as director, when he says "Here's Johnny!"

Nicholson, one of our greatest actors to come out of the Vietnam Era, is in hilariously outrageous form as a psychotherapist in "Anger Management". He hooks up early with Adam Sandler, who promptly becomes his protege under tenuous circumstances. A mild mannered executive secretary, overqualified and underacknowledged due to a laid back manner, he has his girlfriend, played by Adrian Ricard, constantly fretting, seeking to give him some kind of push to propel him forward in New York City's fast paced world. Meanwhile Nicholson is determined to change his attitude and direction in life, to provide the necessary spark to give Sandler that necessary change in attitude.

Nicholson enters the scene when Sandler, through strangely escalating circumstances, is attacked by an angry flight security guard aboard a flight after a verbal altercation with a female flight attendant with ultimate legal consequences. A New York judge places Sandler under the care of Nicholson, a psychotherapist with decidedly unconventional methods, as manifested by the many outstanding lawsuits against him. Soon, through equally implausible circumstances, Sandler is involved in a barroom brawl. The judge assigns Nicholson to treat patient Sandler around the clock, with the patient moving into the psychiatrist's apartment.

As the relationship develops one wonders whether Nicholson is helping Sandler or leading him to his ruination. Nicholson keeps telling his patient that if he bears with him positive results will be obtained. In one instance he tells his shy patient to make a move on an attractive young woman in a Boston bar by delivering a line Sandler is certain will bring a slapping rebuke. Instead the woman invites Sandler to her waterfront apartment with wildly unpredictable results. In another instance Nicholson suggests that his client address an old grievance as Sandler has it out with the man who bullied him when they were schoolmates. The former bully is now a monk in a Buddhist monastery. After the fight therapist and patient bearly escape with a monastery full of monks chasing them.

Director Peter Segal uses the right approach, giving Nicholson plenty of latitude to launch his unique pyrotechnics display. As the script by David Dorfman continues unfolding curiosity heightens as to just what Nicholson is trying to prove. Just as Sandler has worked up enough nerve to propose to Ricard, Nicholson appears to enter the scene. The comedy has a mystery film finale with laughs as the story concludes in Yankee Stadium, where either Nicholson or Sandler is set to pop the question to the lovely Ricard. Just what is happening? Is Nicholson a heartless turncoat seeking to break his patient's heart through treachery? Stay tuned. The finale is fascinating, with Yankee stars Derek Jeter and Roger Clemens delivering lines, making their impact as well, along with the thousands of fans watching the unfolding romantic spectacle in the Bronx.

Summary: Not as bad as I expected
Review: Sandler and Nicholson together. What more do you need to know. Still, I was surprised that it was, after all, an OK movie. But then it wasn't a typical Adam Sandler film. That's probably why everyone else I know hated it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mr Deeds can't match Nicholson's performance
Review: Nicholson is great, but it's too bad the rest of the movie can't live up to his talent. In a role tailored to his quirky character, Nicholson is brilliant, but Sandler's dull character and attempts at acting are no match. Sandler should never have taken the role opposite of Nicholson because it underscores he is no more than a wise crack with potty humor, not a serious actor with any depth. With a little better editing, I think anyone other than Sandler would have made this movie enjoyable. The pace was just enough to keep me from looking at my watch, wondering when it was over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Anger Management is Sandler's best of his career, so far!
Review: This movie has a brilliant and funny beginning and an excellent ending to it. Adam Sandler stars as Dave Buznik, whose performance is his best since Big Daddy. Jack Nicholson stars as Buddy Rydell, the psychologist assigned to manage his anger. Nicholson's over the top performance as Rydell is brilliant and smart. Marisa Tomei stars as Linda, Dave's girlfriend, whose performance is also smart and goodhearted. Sandler's colleagues also star in the movie and they are funny and brilliant as well. The end credits have a song from The Rolling Stones called "19th Nervous Breakdown" which is brilliant to the movie's advantage.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Real Dud
Review: Anyone who views this little disaster will probably need anger management; a good cast is completely wasted trying to muddle through a lousy script and a total lack of direction. This one-gag clunker is a waste of money and time - avoid it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A riot
Review: WHen I saw this movie in the theater I felt out of place...mainly because it seemed that my friend and I were the only two laughing. I found this movie extremely funny and witty. The ending WAS a little predictable, however, when I go to the movies for something funny I don't necessarily look for riviting plot twists.

The best part of the whole movie was the "I Feel Pretty" scene on the bridge. It was so funny I nearly peed my pants.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny movie
Review: This is one of Adam Sandler's best movie today. I love Adam and I have all of his movie. This movie was so funny. Jack Nickelson was great. They make a great team. I would love to see them again on screen.
