Summary: SWEET FANCY MOSES!!
Review: Boy! Did this movie suck donkey balls!! I was left terribly disappointed and furious! Nothing about this movie was pleasant. Nor did the "plot" make much sense for those of us who sat through this junk just because we wanted our money's worth. Please stay away and let's give a little prayer for Sandler and Jack so they may be forgiven by the masses and make a winner together some day..:) Thank you kindly!

Summary: Some funny parts but...
Review: A pretty good flick but I still give it 3 stars out of 5. It gets 4 stars because I laughed pretty good and it has Nicholson in it. Yes, it is set in New York but I have to detract one star for the unfortunate and disgusting prominence of the New York Yankees. Other than that I really liked this movie and would watch it again, only turn my head when the Pinstripes are being shown. Go Red Sox!

Summary: Terrible
Review: Wow.. was this ever a crappy movie. I was really surprised that Adam Sandler & Jack Nicholson could be in such a terrible movie. Now, the movie did have a lot of funny parts but it just wasn't good. The movie is based around Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler) who mistakenly gets in trouble on an airplane. He is ordered by a judge to attend anger management sessions run by Doctor Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson). After another accidental mishap, the judge orders Dave to step up his therapy or spend one year in jail. Opting for more therapy, Buddy moves in with Dave to help him with his problem and all hell breaks loose.

Summary: Harmless Fun
Review: Nowadays, we would hear & read about bombing, terrorism activities, murders & other bad things imaginable in the news. Sometimes, it's good to escape from reality for a change & for me, the escapism comes in the form of "Anger Management". Jack Nicholson is always associated with "quality acting" & the temptation is too great to see the pairing between him & Adam Sandler, who has definitely coming of age from his heyday of Happy Gilmour. These days, his performance is more sedated but funny just the same. Some of my friends were rather disappointed with this movie for the jokes were falling flat but truth to be told, I just find the whole movie hillarious. Cameo appearances is definitely a big plus & am I right to say that this movie is pro-New York with people such as ex-Mayor Gulliani, John McEnroe, Heather Graham, John C. Reilly, Yankee Stadium chipping in their efforts? The counselling group that Bruznik (Adam's character) attended to are a funny bunch & they definitely add another dimension to this movie. The subplot is about how Bruznik needs to overcome his confidence problem in order to express his love unconditionally to his long-term girlfriend by kissing her in public, played by Marisa Tomei. Another subplot would be whether Jack's character is deviously plotting to take Marisa's character from Bruznik by befriending him at the first place. Overall, it's harmless fun & it's definitely a joyride. After the movie, I dare to say that I feel heaps better. Highly recommended

STINK, STANK, STUNK,
i love adam sandler and i love jack even more, that made this atrocity all the less palateable!
i will continue to eagerly watch for any and all films with either or both of theses stars in them but i will not waste my time viewing this particular hunk of blah again.
senseless misguided drivel is the only phrase that accurately describes this film.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: This film is a collaboration of two titans: Nicholson and Sandler. Both are amazing in this hilarious comedy. Sandler plays Dave, a person bullied throughout his life. After a misunderstanding on an airplane ride, and a really horrible lawyer, Dave must attend Anger Management with Buddy, played by Nicholsan. The hilarious stuff Dave goes through and the sweet, though a bit predictable ending all adds up to a great film.Both actors are brilliant in this film. The movie has many funny scenes and it is a great movie to watch all together. Definetly rent this one!

Summary: Plot Management
Review: The plot of this movie is very well managed ... Just when you think you know what's going on and what's real, you realize that it may not be. It's not until the very end that everything becomes clear, and that's good plot management. You don't feel lost along the way, and it's not predictable at all ... the writers guide you safely and humorously through the entire movie, then surprise you at the end. I love that! Now, how funny was it? The movie stars Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson, and as shown in the previews, Jack Nicholson winds up living with Adam Sandler ... what could be funnier, right? Well, sort of. In my opinion, the previews were too funny because they set the laugh expectation too high. After seeing the previews, I expected this film to be an absolute laugh-fest. It was not. Nonetheless, it was funny (very funny and uncomfortably funny in parts) and well worth the watch. I'm just saying that you will enjoy the movie more if you go into it with lesser expectations than I did. That said, a little about the plot ... Sandler plays a soft-spoken, docile administrative assistant to a credit-stealing, jerk of an executive. His girlfriend is played by Marisa Tomei, who is adorable as usual. Early in the movie, Sandler winds up sitting next to Nicholson on a plane. While Nicholson is boisterous and annoying, Sandler remains calm. However, at Nicholson's prodding, Sandler asks the flight attendant for headphones ... three times. On the final request, the flight attendant accuses Sandler of being hostile, even though he never raises his voice. Sandler winds up being zapped by the US Marshall on the flight, and taken into custody for assaulting the flight attendant. In court, where Kevin Nealon plays Sandler's lawyer, Sandler is ordered to enroll in Nicholson's anger management program. To Sandler's surprise, the crazy man from the plane is going to be his psychologist. Thus starts the antics of the film. I won't spoil the humorous gags of the film, which span most of it, so I'll just say that the remainder of the movie is bizarre and comedic ... and worth the watch. Side note: In true Sandler style, this movie features cameos from stand-out characters in his earlier work ... the butler from Mr. Deeds, Kevin Nealon, and his best friend from The Wedding Singer all have parts in this film. Surprisingly, I didn't see Rob Schneider pop up in this one. But I love this about Sandler's films -- quirky and funny, just like him.

Summary: Not as good as it should have been...
Review: Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler should have made funnier bedfellows in Anger Management. In fact, the title and trailers were a little misleading, portraying Sandler to be a raving lunatic in serious need of Anger Management. The truth though is that Sandler's character displays none of his trademark rage until the very end of Anger Management. Sandler's understated treatment of his character Dave Buznick comes off as just plain annoying, he is a timid junior executive for a pet clothing company and stepped on by boss on a daily basis. Nicholson is funny in spurts but this is a far cry from his Oscar winning performance in As Good As it Gets. I kept waiting for something really funny to happen between Jack and Sandler but sadly it never came. There are some funny parts like singing in traffic or the monk scene but overall this film is just not as funny as it should have been. Recommended to hardcore Sandler or Nicholson fans...everyone else stay away.

Summary: Vintage Nicholson
Review: Once again Jack plays his most celebrated crazy wild man in this picture. Although I am not a huge fan of Mr. Sandler I'd have to say this was his funniest film since "Waterboy". The scene on the bridge is great, the cooking scene, the scene in which Jack needs to get some space for his car...so many hilarious sequences...Fast & wild paced comedy, one of Jack's better recent films.

Summary: Absolutely THE Worst! Save your money & your time!
Review: I only wish that I had read the reviews BEFORE I wasted both money and my time. This got turned off 30 minutes into the movie. The jokes weren't just lame, but crude. No self respecting, thinking adult could possibly stomach such garbage.
