Rating: Summary: Flat, Sketchy Script Ruins This Odd Coupling Review: "Anger Management" has a great formula. Put two opposite starts together and see what happens. One is clean-cut, charming, and youthful. The other is gruff, annoying and older. It worked in "The Odd Couple" and "Grumpy Old Men." It does not work in "Anger Management."The intention is good. The actors are great. The general plot is interesting. The script stunk. It lacked a sense of reality. It followed along a jumpy line that made believing what was going on difficult. I saw it because I like Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler. I never bought Nicholson as a counselor. He wore the beard of the stereotyped psychologist, but lacked the boorish austerity. Nicholson is likable in any role, but here, he has few good lines, and fewer good scenes. Too much of what he did, like forcing David (Sandler's character) to let him with him stay for 30 days couldn't be right. Why didn't David know when he was sentenced? Why was it a surprise? Sandler is Sandler. He played a smarter version of his "Waterboy." You know the shtick. Funny then, not funny now. The routine needs more depth if he thinks he wants to do comedy in a few years. There is little movie here worth watching. As cool as Jack is, and as funny as Adam is, the movie is poorly written, giving two screens stars a movie they'll regret later. Anthony Trendl
Rating: Summary: Nicholson at his sexiest and funniest! Review: If you have a thing for Jack, go see this movie! I was worried that this was going to be just another silly Adam Sandler movie (not that there is anything wrong with that)but, I laughed until my sides hurt! The bloopers were great as well! Way to go JACK! I love ya baby!
Rating: Summary: Hilarious Review: I thought that this was a hilarious movie..with 2 great actors: jack nicholson and adam sandler!! i would recommend it to anyone w/ a sense of humor!
Rating: Summary: Anger Management Review: Adam Sandler and Jack Nicolson are funny in Anger Management, but lame and over-played jokes don't help this movie stay on its feet. With overplayed lesbian jokes and a bad disposition, Anger Management isn't exactly another shining Sandler movie. Skip it.
Rating: Summary: Not at all funny... Review: I thought this movie would be very funny, mainly because its 2 main stars have a reputation for being really funny. But this was an awful movie. I do not recommend it to anyone. If you are having a hard time deciding whether to see it or not... Don't!!!!
Rating: Summary: he feels pretty oh so pretty Review: this movie is the feel good movie of the year. i absolutely loved every minute of it and i laghed so hard i came so close to wetting my pants.
Rating: Summary: share the love... Review: when i went to go see anger management i though, oh, just another adam sandler comedy, u know: fair plot, laughs, music...well it had all those things, but this movie was absolutely superb! When on a flight to meet a new boss adam sandler, loses his seat on the flight, jack nicholson welcomes him to come sit with him. So he does, nicholson cons him into getting a headset to watch the flight movie. he ends up bothering the stuerdess to much, and yells on the flight, he is then tasored, and put into anger management. he gets an anger ally and they go to a bar, but they end up fightng a biker and blind man. Sandler is then put into a 30 day anger management program, and nicholson comes to live with him. Right from that point the movie takes off with laughs. They go through many adventures that will have you laughing the entire time.. i really liked this movie, and i think anyone who likes comedy will love it..5 stars definately.
Rating: Summary: Don't waste your eveing Review: Yes, I like Jack and Adam. But watching the first hour of this film was perhaps the worst hour in front of the television I've experienced all year. I agree with another viewer that Jack was simply a major irritant, and except for Marisa Tomei I thought none of the actors brought much to the table. The dialogue was predictable and without comedic merit. Why did someone of Jack's calibre sign on to do this film? After the first hour, my wife and I turned to one another simultaneously and asked if the other wouldn't mind watching a rerun of Will and Grace.
Rating: Summary: BY FAR THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE Review: This movie truly is the worst I've ever seen. There is absolutely no plot what so ever, the jokes, when there are any, are terrible, and Jack Niclaus does nothing but piss you off and make you mad throughout the course of this terrible film. I highly reccomend not watching this movie, it is a waste of two actors talents, and the director needs to start looking for a new job. BY FAR THE WORST MOVIE EVER CREATED!
Rating: Summary: Different Review: Jack Nicholson always does a great job playing the rather "strange" character in any movie, and he didn't let me down in this work. Adam Sandler seems to have some anger issues that his girlfriend, Marisa Tomei, is wanting him to deal with and she enlists the help of none other than Jack Nicholson, who plays a rather oddball doctor with some, shall we say, different approaches to help his patient. Zany from the start, this movie makes you want to get inside your TV and knock old Doctor B out, but all ends well, and you are able to 'manage your anger' and almost want to say thank you for the job the doctor has done. You notice I said, "Almost!" An enjoyable movie for a quiet evening!
