The irresistible pairing of Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler is the best reason to see Anger Management, a comedy that might loosely be called The Funny and the Furious. Nicholson and especially Sandler have screen personas that partially rely on pent-up anxieties, so there's definite potential in teaming them as a mild-mannered designer of pet clothing for chubby cats (Sandler) who's been ordered to undergo anger-management therapy with a zany counselor (Nicholson) prone to occasional tantrums and devious manipulation. Surely this meandering comedy looked better on the page; director Peter Segal scores a few lucky scenes (particularly Sandler's encounter with a Buddhist monk, played by John C. Reilly), but a flood of cameos (Heather Graham, Woody Harrelson, Rudolph Giuliani, and others) can't match the number of laughs that fall flat. As Sandler's understanding girlfriend, Marisa Tomei plays a pivotal role in a happy ending that leaves everyone smiling, with the possible exception of the audience. --Jeff Shannon

Daft and slightly forced - Reviewed on 2008-10-09

Unquestionably this movie was never going for plausibility. A relatively mild-mannered man, Dave Buznik finds himself in the charge of Buddy, a slightly potty anger management therapist, after an altercation on a plane finds Dave in court. Of course, the fact he's mild-mannered is half the joke... I never really found Adam Sandler funny. He's far better as a straight actor with a light-hearted approach. This movie confirms this, as Jack Nicholson, as Buddy, is a class above him at all times. Jack is simply funnier, and Hollywood royalty. As for 'laugh-factor', yes there are definitely some funny moments, especially if you leave your brain at the door, but it's not what it perhaps could have been. I feel more could have been made of the rest of the cast, such as Torturro, Guizman, Harrellson (small part). But overall it's reasonable. Best moment is a cameo by a certain sports star...

I'd be tempted to slam "Anger Management" as another slice of lighthearted, sanitized mental-illness swill from Hollywood (it does play out like "28 Days" meets "The Dream Team"), if it wasn't for Jack Nicholson's manic performance--he hasn't been this funny since "The Shining." Adam Sandler does well, and exhibits some control as a guy with problems containing his rage (I'll admit...I've never seen any of his other movies). But poor Marisa Tomei...the girl who once won an Oscar has become one-dimensional background scenery, indistinguishable from any would-be starlet. The movie's lowbrow humor and endless parade of cameos gets tedious near the end, and from the overhead shot of a packed baseball stadium that kicks off the last act, anyone who's even half-awake will be able to predict the unforgivably sappy conclusion. Average entertainment redeemed somewhat by Nicholson's inherent zaniness.

Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson star in this movie about a person named Dave (Sandler) who has to take Anger Management classes for "abusing" a woman on a plane. From then on everything goes from bad to worse for Dave. I overall enjoyed watching this movie. It has a lot of funny parts to it. It definately gets its PG-13 rating from some of the language in it, though. But overall, its a great movie.

I have to say Anger Management was the best Adam Sandler film I'd seen since Big Daddy back in 2003. Sandler and Jack Nicholson have great chemistry in this funny comedy. The trailer pretty much gives you the plot but unlike some comedys the trailer doesn't spoil all the jokes. The cameos and in jokes put tears in my eyes in this film. The film is taking a beating from some folks and from critics but just go and see this film with a open mind and enjoy it.
