Summary: Funny
Review: 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.

Summary: badly executed fluff
Review: What a disappointment. Standard studio tripe - put two big names together but don't put any thought into a script. The concept sounds good on paper, but the movie makes little or no sense and Sandler plays straight man to Jack's overacting. Awful.

Summary: It had potential!
Review: Anger Managment is about a guy who was sentenced by the court to take anger management courses for being aggressive to a flight-attendant on a plane.Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler would apparently have brilliant chemistry together and they could have done a lot more with this film's idea than was done. Although the film brings big laughs, you almost want to laugh at the film's stupidity. John C. Reilly, a recent Oscar nominee, pointlessly plays a monk wearing an orange robe who gets a wedgie and Heather Graham plays an actress playing a weight-sensitive woman. While Anger Management is funny and decently acted (no one seems to be bad in it), it's just not a great film.

Summary: Anger Management Won't Make You Angry
Review: Anger Management was one of the funniest films of 2003 and is probably the best movie with Adam Sandler.Jack Nicholson has been casted perfectly.The story starts when Sandlers charachter is bullied as a child and then goes to when he's grown up.
Especially hilarious is a scene that involves a monk.The film was terrific.If I was Roger Ebert or Richard Roeper i'd give it a thumbs up.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler are really funny together. It is like "the whole Nine Yards and Analyze This" except there is no gangsters in it. I can't wait for the sequal.

Summary: If you're mad...it's not so bad when your're watching this.
Review: This movie along with the incomparable Adam Sandler, and the eccentric Jack Nicholson makes for an unlikely duo, in "Anger Management." It's a tale for those of us who can't resist the temptation of giving the "middle finger" to the person next to them while driving, being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic; It's about guys who get [angry] real easily, when they find-out their girlfriends are cheating on them behind their back; and to the guys who can't seem to manage to put the toilet seat down (you know who you are: your girlfriends/wives nagging you to put it down); and those of us who like to "sweat-the-small-stuff," fighting over the remote control and the thermostat. Hey guys, I've got news for you: you can be like the rest of us single men out there, who don't have to deal with the incessant whining of ....... women who always have to have things their way, who are always having you be there at their beckon-call every waking-hour. Don't you hate it when your significant-other insists that you stay home to watch a sappy, romantic chick-flick (or another dull episode of "Gilmore Girls") instead of "kickin' it" with your buddies, to seeing the Tampa Bay Buccanneers kick the Oakland Raider's....? Doesn't it make you mad, when you're having to draw straws to seeing whose turn it is to cleaning the garage? Sure it does. It's not the end of the world, it's just that life can be unfair sometimes. We all have to go through the same thing - at one time or another. If you're a couple of highbrows with nothing better to do than to reading the latest Harry Potter book, while laying down on the sofa with your legs getting numb - because God forbid - you can't seem to put the darn thing down, then this is the movie for you. So get off the couch and stretch those legs, so you can go over to Blockbuster to pick this movie up. It's hilarious! If you're old enough to remembering an old classic like "West Side Story" you will get plenty of laughs with this. You'll find yourself wondering: why am I watching this? Why is my wife making me see this movie? It's so you can realize all the good that life has to offer, instead of being mad all the time. So don't take my word for it. You'll have to see it for yourself to believe.

Summary: Sandler rebounds his career, Nicholson already there
Review: After Sandler took a bellyflop off Career Cliff with absolute duds like "Little Nicky" and "Mr. Deeds", I assumed he'd never recover from the lava pit of disappointed audiences into which he splashed. I stand corrected. Teaming up with Jack Nicholson, who never seems to appear in a bad movie, the two come out in flying colors with the hilarious Anger Management. You know the movie's gonna be funny with Jack Nicholson. The guy made us laugh in The Shining, for crying out loud. And somewhere between "Mr. Deeds" and the absence of his name at the latest Oscar Awards, Sandler made a priority to be funny again. Sandler plays the insecure nice guy boiling with unvented rage, while Nicholson plays the clever and manipulative anger management therapist. By court order, Sandler must spend one month under the supervision and care of Nicholson. Chaos ensues, but ironically, all the time it's being carefully choreographed by Nicholson. The movie is clever, witty, and funny. The scene with the Buddhist monk had me laughing nonstop, and I had to watch the scene again to hear the entire dialouge clearly. Sure the ending was a little farfetched, but what Sandler movie doesn't have a farfetched ending? Ignore the two and one star reviews by those lost souls who left their sense of humor somewhere in the rewinding reel of Ishtar. One reviewer even complained that the 'wedgie' scenes were too severe. What??? Inspector Gadget couldn't reach to such a drastic stretch for a pathetic excuse to bash a good movie. The only conclusion I can draw for the reasoning behind low reviews is that the reviewers find it unfunny that this movie is mocking the very psychological conditions that they themselves are suffering from. Chill out and relax people. It's just a movie...you can laugh, it's allright. This one is a classic, and I'm glad Sandler is back in the game.

Summary: Not bad but could have been a lot better
Review: I was pleasantly surprised that this movie was not nearly as crummy as I thought it would be, so I'll give it an extra star.
There were some scenes that made me laugh out loud (I've never done THAT at an Adam Sandler movie before), especially the one at the Buddhist temple. But there were also some awful things, namely what we find out right after the baseball game. I don't want to give anything away, but why, WHY did they put that in there? It was so pointless and annoying! The same can be said of most of the cameos, especially Giulani's. If there must be cameos, let them be from other actors.

Summary: Hilarious idea, poor turn-out
Review: Anger Management (2003) Adam Sandler, Jack Nicholson, Marisa Tomei, Luis Guzman, Lynne Thigpen, John Turturro, Nancy Walls, D: Peter Segal. Redefines the phrase "odd couple": Sandler as an even-tempered businessman (who never sticks up for himself) is wrongly sentenced to an anger management session and Nicholson is his eccentric instructor who turns out to be more aggressive than him. One-joke screwball comedy had a good premise, not as funny as the critics quote it to be, better yet Sandler is less obnoxious than his actual persona inquires. Here, Nicholson is a real galling devil, and genuine comedy would come out of watching him convey his anger at a Laker's game. Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, Heather Graham, and Mayor Rudolph Giuliani give cameos. Running Time: 106 minutes and rated PG-13 for crude sexual content and language.

Summary: Great Idea hides an utterly banal romantic-comedy
Review: Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler star as the creepy anger-management therapist and the mild-mannered participant in his class by court order, respectively. An interesting premise and supremely talented leads lead one to think that this might be a great, biting comedy. Instead, it simply degenerates into a standard, predictable romantic comedy with bland jokes, including the inhumanly severe wedgies. The last third of the film is so unbelievably overwraught and unconvincing that it's woeful. If you can't tell what's coming, boy I think you ought to see more than one movie a year. The final act is a totally by the numbers, autopilot affair. Crowd-pleasing? Sure. It's amazing how audiences will flock to a movie that pushes the same buttons in the same order. I'm sorry, when a movie follows this formula so rigidly, I feel offended A frustrating mess of wasted talent and wasted potential that could have been saved with a decent number of legitimate laughs if not with a screenplay that had exhibited the wit and originality of the Hollywood pitch.
