Summary: Great if your an Adam Sandler fan, OK otherwise
Review: Possible Spoilers Ahead:I have to admit that I am not a big Adam Sandler fan. However, I saw the trailers and I was intrigued by the thought of Sandler playing a regular guy to an over-the-top Jack Nicholson. About halfway through the movie, I had trouble following the storyline. I think this was due to Sandler playing his mild mannered Dave Buznik character too calm in the beginning. While I understand the concept of a guy who internalizes his anger (which is why he was a candidate for Anger Management classes), even guys who internalize their anger show some frustration when there are problems. I thought Buznik's overly calm reactions seemed unrealistic during the entire flight attendant hostility 'over the headset' episode. I suppose Sandler was trying to go for no reactions at first and building up, over the course of the movie, to more obvious displays of anger (like the fight with his grade school nemesis turned Buddhist monk), but he started out so overly calm at the beginning, it was hard for me to understand whether he was acting or not. While the West Side Story 'I Feel Pretty' bit had some amusing possibilities, the Buznik character started well (frazzled at being forced to stop on the bridge and sing for his bizarre therapist), but the singing soon became too much like Sandler doing his singing bits for SNL, and not Buznik trying to placate his therapist so he could get to work. This may explain why some of the other reviewers gave this movie a thumbs down. I did find the second half more entertaining, mainly because I thought the Buznik character seemed to be reacting in a more realistic fashion to hostility directed at him. I didn't mind the final scene at Yankee Stadium, but I didn't think the cameos from the baseball players were required. While it was nice to see Rudy Giullani, that part could have also gone to someone playing just a regular guy in the stands rooting for the guy to propose to the girl at these sporting events (I didn't think all of the cameos were required - or added anymore laughs to the film).
Overall, this movie has some entertainment value (good as a rental), better for the die-hard Adam Sandler fans.

Summary: Thumbs Down!
Review: I had big expectations for a movie that included two good actors: Adam Sandler & Jack Nicholson, but this movie was a big let down. The movie got funny until after 20 minutes and they showed some pretty stupid stuff (And I like stupid stuff!): lesbians stapling one of their mouth closed, the guy from cheers acting as a cross-dresser!, hurting a budhist and making fun of his retarded sister!, telling a woman that he is expolding in his pants and she says thats "too cute!", how much lame crap can you stuff into a movie! Don't bother watching this unless you want to see a sick movie and you are over the age of twelve.

Summary: What's the appeal of Sandler?
Review: I just don't get him. Maybe I don't go for goofy guys, but Adam Sandler seems way OTT most of the time. I bought this movie purely for the trailer (which is fantastic), and Jack Nicholson. Funny, I never normally seem to like him, but now I'm really getting into him. This movie is great - if you like Jack, as he's hilarious throughout. However, the rest of the movie seems to die a slow death after the opening scenes. It was such a great original idea for a movie, but Jack seems to struggle to hold up the movie. There is a particularly funny "cameo", as a virtually unrecognisable Woody Harrelson (you'll recognise him towards the end), and he's so funny! FREAKS! Very confused, if you catch my drift. The ending is very good, which has lifted the marks for this review. There's a twist to the whole story, and with everyone singing "I Feel Pretty", it leaves you with a happy feeling - although you cannot get the song out of your head afterwards! I'm going around singing it! That's so not good. This movie is good, if you're a fan of Adam Sandler. Frankly, his humour, and expressionless face is not to my taste. Jack is, however!

Summary: possibly the worst "comedy" in a decade.
Review: I could only watch 30 minutes of this mess. As funny as a car wreck and the most contrived set-up I've ever seen.

Summary: Stupid movie, but made me laugh
Review: Overall, this movie certainly did have its funny parts. I laughed pretty hard alot of times in this movie, but the plot just sucked. You saw it coming and it was very unrealistic. Its watchable just for some select scenes but..I was disappointed. At least its a step up from Mr Deeds....

Summary: Steaming Loaf Award for 2003
Review: I have to say that Anger Management is the worst movie I have seen in some time! My satelite provider had a free "premium movie stations" weekend, so thankfully I lost no money watching this comedy/trauma. Mere words cannot explain this movie. But like a 4 car pile-up, I felt compelled to look on horrified in disbelief. How Adam Sandler could pull together Jack Nicholson, John Turturro, and Marisa Tomei, and make such a steaming pile of cow manure is mind boggling! I can't imagine how much the cast was paid not to walk off such an embarrassingly bad flick. If you want to see the hokiest, most nauseating, unrealistic, sappy-ass ending to a movie ever, just tune in to the last 5 minutes. (Warning: it contains acting performances (sic) by Derek Jeter, Roger Clemens, Rudy Guiliani & the lovely Judith Nathan!) Gonna give it 2 Turds down - WAY down!

Summary: I thought this was gonna be better than it was.
Review: When I rented this on DVD I thought a pairing of Sandler & Nicholson would be good. Adam Sandler's goofball antics & overall pretty funny punch lines paired up with Jack Nicholson's "man of 1,000 face" on screen personna seemed to be quite good. However, the laughs were some, but not enough to be enjoyable really.
The plot itself is quite good, Sandler throws a fit on a plane & is ordered by a judge to attend anger management classes with Nicholson. Nicholson teaches him to get over his anger problems by being a jerk & getting upset about little things, whereas Sandler stays fairly meek throughout the flick's first part, but lets it all out more & more in the second.
Jack easily does the better job in the movie, by being more & more hostile in the movie. He also has some great punch lines, moments of comic genius, & purely great moments. Adam, however, stays fairly boring in the movie with just some of his typical goofball antics in the movie, but his scene is when he goes after Jack towards the end of the movie. I feel if Adam would've lashed out & fought back against Jack more instead of being meek, the flick could have been better.
The DVD's extras on it are well worth the viewing though, with some nice bonus material, a decent trailer, & director's commentary. Columbia/TriStar has through the years went from being basics on extras like on Sniper to a whole bunch like on here.
