Summary: A Good Laugh
Review: Anger Management is definately good for laughs. It does not compare to Adam Sandler's older films, which were funny due to Sandler, this one is made funny by Jack Nicholson, without him this movie probably would have been painful to watch. Those going to this movie expecting Happy Gilmore will be disappointed. Those going to see Sandler and Nicholson butt heads and deal with their anger issues will love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Why doesn't any one like this movie????
Review: I seriously was shocked when i saw the ratings for the film. This is one of the best Comdies I've seen since Me,Myself and Irene.Adam Sandler to my opinion is no longer funny ever since Little Nicky which was still in the ok zone. But his latest films like Punch, Drunk, Love or Mr. Deeds, and even, not to forget, 8 crazy nights which was just HORRIBLE, Sandler to my opinion just has worn out with his recapitulated humour and i still fell the same way about this film except that i couldn't stop laughing, but not due to Adam Sandlers part but due to Nicholsons. Jack Nicholson carried Sandler throughout this movie but i have to say i loved it. It's about a guy that has to undergo Anger Management do to his anger explosion on the air plane which never really happened. His anger management counselor, played by Jack Nicholson, moves in with him and start to take his life apart, especially the life he has with his girlfriend. I have to add this again Why doesn't anyone like this movie, it was fantastic and straight up hilarious, but i should add that this movie should have been rated R for all the vulgarity, and some sexual humour, so don't take your kids cause this is a adult film!!!!

Summary: A Little Too Much Therapy
Review: "Anger Management," a film that might have been one of Adam Sandler's best, becomes one of Jack Nicholson's worst. Because Nicholson has a superb record and a good nose for trash, it's obvious the movie was a Sandler project with Nicholson as his hired talent, definitely not the other way around. The fact that four of the producers were involved in "Master of Disguise" and three with "The Animal" indicates that quality was not an issue.

Everything about this film goes wrong. Sandler's regular fans will be pleased. Nicholson's fans will be appalled.

Sandler plays a calm guy named Dave Buznik, who just got a promotion at work and is in love with his fiancee, Linda (Marisa Tomei). Through a series of bizarre misunderstandings on an airplane trip, he is diagnosed as a person filled with rage, and assigned to therapy with the famous anger specialist Dr. Buddy Rydell (Nicholson).

He introduces Dave to a therapy group including Luis Guzman and John Turturro. Both are clearly nuts; and so is Dr. Rydell. Dave finds himself trapped in an increasing clutter of trouble, which has its climax in a bar fight, and in a court appearance where he explains, "I was being attacked by someone while stealing a blind man's cane."

Also on display in the movie are Woody Harrelson (as a drag queen), John C. Reilly (as a monk who gets a wedgie), Heather Graham (as a young women obsessed about her weight) and former mayor of New York City, Rudolph Giuliani. The use of walk-on rolls is a huge sign of desperation. Though I must say, some of them were quite amusing.

The closing scene in Yankee Stadium, with the hero proposing to his girl over a loud speaker was probably the wittiest sequence in "Anger Management". Although the idea has been used quite too many times before in sappy chick flicks.

At one point, Buddy tries to calm Dave by forcing him to sing "I Feel Pretty" from "West Side Story." The moment is symbolic in that it's neither funny nor witty nor is it particularly original. It's just another excuse to make us, the audience, laugh. The attempt did not work for me nor did the film itself.
The movie's reason for being is the pairing of Nicholson and Sandler. This film had its ups and its downs. It had potential. I guess Sandler will never take a hint. And by the looks of this, neither will Nicholson. This movie should be remade immediately, this time with Jack Nicholson as an executive producer, and Adam Sandler as the hired talent.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A pleasant and fun comedy
Review: This was a very good movie in our opinion. We enjoyed the brilliant acting as well as the plot of the movie. Having the personal experience of what it's like to hear someone tell you to relax while you are completely calm helps to connect with Adam Sandler in his role. The aggrevation that he goes through and the annoyance of everything that happens related to that anger. Jack Nickolson is as amazing as ever.
I definitely recommend seeing this movie. Beware of the "I feel pretty" song. It gets stuck in your head for weeks and there is no way of getting rid of it

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Anger Management
Review: I normally don't care for Adam Sandler and Jack Nickelson-they seem to play the same characters over and over. This film was different! It was funny, witty and made you want to keep watching so you wouldn't miss anything. Good writing kept the film going.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilariously Funny!!!
Review: Anger Management was truly entertaining. Nicholson and Sandler had perfect comedic timing and great on-screen chemistry. I saw this movie with my boyfriend, and we were laughing the whole way through. The movie is definitely not one you want to bring your young kids to, but it's a fun flick for the older generation. GO WATCH IT!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you haven't seen many Sandler movies go see it!
Review: I saw Anger Management a couple of days ago and I thought it was hilarious. Personally, I haven't seen too many Adam Sandler movies so it was obviously funny to me. Most of the humor is adult humor so don't go see it with 12-year olds and since it's rated PG-13 the label says not all the material in the movie is suitable for children under 13. I thought it was well worth the money and I'd go see it another time just to get more laughs and have a good time. By the way the "I Feel Pretty" song was hysterical and how Dave always ends up in court is hilarious.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: REALLY Disappointing
Review: Every good scene was shown in the commercials. It was sophomoric, cliche, crude and poorly directed.

I really couldn't believe that individual talents like Tomei, Sandler and Nicholson couldn't pull off something better than this.

I'd hate to think that Rudy Guiliani read the entire script before he agreed to have a cameo.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very funny, albeit eccentric, movie
Review: I found this movie very entertaining, but it's definitely not for everyone. It was a pretty good compromise between Adam Sandler's early nonsensical plot years and his later romantic comedy years.

I can see how some people might be alienated. Fans of Sandler's romantic comedies such as "The Wedding Singer" and "Punch Drunk Love" might get lost in the nonsensical comedic whimsy.
Fans of Sander's earlier fantastical crazy movies such as "Happy Gilmore" and "Billy Madison" (two of my favorite cult comedies) might get bored by the attempts at romance, plot, and explanation.

Nicholson was excellent, Sandler was reasonably convincing as a pushover, low self-esteem clown, although Marissa Tomei was relegated to an extremely limited role.
Bit parts and cameos by Woody Harrelson, Rudy Juliani, Derek Jeter, Roger Clemens, John McEnroe, and Bobby Knight were well placed and entertaining.

While the movie is certainly flawed, for instance the ending attempts to explain too much, there are plenty of quotable one-liners and hilarious situations (the fight with the monk!) to make up for it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Awesome movie, except for one thing...
Review: ANGER MANAGEMENT had too many vulgar and obscene jokes. Sandler and Nicholson were both great in their roles, the story was clever, it was a very funny and enjoyable movie except for the crude sex jokes. Other than that, it was very good. It's just too bad a good movie had to be ruined unnecessarily.
