Rating: Summary: One of his best... Review: I went to see this in the theatre and loved it. I thought Billy Madison was his best movie and this was a very close second! I am goin to buy this later tonight when I get a chance.
Rating: Summary: Actually not a bad movie Review: This movie suffered from overhype, with a million commercials on everyday before the movie's release. While funny, the commercials made me think I had seen all the movie had to offer.While this movie does star Jack Nicholson, this is definitely an Adam Sandler movie. It has the same co-stars as some of his other movies (John Turturro, Luis Gonzolez, and a couple of others) and has the same type of humor. But this is a good movie because Sandler plays a normal person. The funny characters are the supporting cast. This movie is a lot better than Deeds or Big Daddy, but not as good as the breakthrough hit, Happy Gilmore.
Rating: Summary: Anger Manegment Review: In this movie, Adam Stanler stars as "Dave Buzznick", a compleltly normal guy with a completely normal life. When there is a misunderstanding on a plane, he is found guilty and sentenced to 20 hours of anger manegment. his anger manegment doctor "Jack Nicholas" recommends a 30 day close watch on Dave. He ends up moving in with Dave and since there is only one bed... you can guess. this movie is outragiosly funny. It's only weak point is the ending, the movie just seems tooo run out of good jokes, but overall this is one of the better movies I've seen.
Rating: Summary: That Maniacal Grin! Review: Anger Management got pans instead of plaudits with many critics; I don't see it. Jack Nicholson's character reminded me of the role he played in The Witches of Eastwick; that evil, maniacal grin is back. Adam Sandler's bumbling, neurotic, dull character is a great counterpoint. The plot is sort of weak, the end is sort of predictable, but the movie's funny, the supporting characters are just caricatured enough to provide a comic addition instead of getting in the way, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Rating: Summary: Vulgarity brought to the extreme. Review: I write this review mainly because the current "average customer review" doesn't reflect the level of this movie and doesn't give the potential buyer a fair and balanced assessment about the quality of this film. It is a colossal disaster. This motion picture redefines the phrase "a complete waste of time"; you just can't waste your time any better than you can waste it if you watch this film. Suffice it to say that after this film is over you will want to take a part in an anger management therapy group yourself, if only to vend all the rage and anxiety this film has created in you. The primary target of the writers is to stretch the nerves of the film's viewers to the point in which they will understand how it is to totally "lose it". I can give it to them - they've made it for me. Would you like to be another successful case in their disturbing experience?
Rating: Summary: At Least Sandler Is Consistant Review: I only rented it because I thought Nicholson could offset the unwatchable Sandler. No such luck. Sandler is by far the most consistantly bad Hollywood hackctor in history and this mess is no exception. This is two hours you will never recover, choose wisely.
Rating: Summary: A great idea to pair these two but this is not a great movie Review: I am sure I am not the only one who saw the trailer for "Anger Management" in which an apparently mild mannered Adam Sandler makes a polite request for a set of headphones from a flight attendant and is repeatedly told to "calm down." The next thing we know Sandler's character, Dave Buznik, is sentenced to attend anger management seminars with Dr. Buddy Rydell, who is played by Jack Nicholson, which really makes most questions about the reasons Dave ends up in this situation pretty moot. After all, this is a film with Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. Plot seems a secondary consideration. However, it turns out our initial queries were not as misdirected as might think, especially as it becomes clear that if anything, Buddy's problem is that he is not angry enough. Ultimately, "Anger Management" is something of a disappointment. There are some funny moments, but the funniest one comes relatively early in the proceedings and involves Dr. Buddy requiring Dave to sing "I Feel Pretty" from "West Side Story." Dave does the accented falsetto on the lead and Buddy provides the appropriate accompaniments. The other standout sequence involves Dave and a Buddhist monk played by John C. Reilly, who is put one of many recognizable names running around in this film. You also have Marisa Tomei as Dave's patient girlfriend, Kevin Nealon as his attorney, Luis Guzmán and John Turturro as other members of the anger management group, and Woody Harrelson in a rather surprising little role. Cameos begin with Bobby Knight and end with Rudolph Giuliani, Robert Merrill, Roger Clemens, and Derek Jeter. You can also throw into the mix the uncredited performances by Reilly, Heather Graham, and Harry Dean Stanton. You know full well why this impressive supporting cast signed up for this movie: because it had Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. The mere idea of that combination has got to make you smile, and if the end result is less than satisfactory (which is certainly true), then the fault, dear Brutus, must be on the other side of the camera. This is David Dorfman's first script, and you know he did not write it with both Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson in mind (no rookie scribe would dare be that ambitious), so he gets a pass. But director Peter Segel has "Tommy Boy" on his resume and the producers claim credit for such works as "The Animal, "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" and "Joe Dirt." Actually, it is the usually Sandler gang, which is where I think this film goes wrong. If Adam Sandler wants to play with the big boys, which he is no doubt capable of doing, then he needed to bring in some big guns to rework the script and shot the movie. This was a great idea for a movie, but this is not a great movie. Your level of disappointment may vary, but it is, I fear, inevitable given the universal heightened expectations.
Rating: Summary: JUST NOT FUNNY!!!!! Review: This movie was very highly anticipated and was number one at the box office and but I just didn't think it was funny at all. Is this a comedy? I just can't remember one funny moment?!?!?!?
Rating: Summary: Awful Review: This should have been a great movie...I thought it could be...Oh was I wrong! Just awful. Unfunny. The acting is atrocious. Terrible writing. A completely ridiculous ending. Too many cameos. Gets one star only for Woody Harrelson's funny bit in the film. Otherwise rent this first or save your money for something else altogether.
Rating: Summary: just there Review: I'm not a fan of Adam Sandler&Find Him Vastly Overrated&this film didn't change my stance on that.as for Jack Nicholson He should stay Court-side at Laker Games.He is just getting by with suspect film after suspect film.I haven't felt one of His films in Many Moons.this film was just something to watch&didn't move me at all.
