Summary: BORING!!!
Review: This would have to be one of the worst movies that I saw last year!(the other being Matrixs Revelutions)
It's portrayed as being funny when really it's anything but!
It's too try hard where funny lines are ruined by bad acting and vice versa.
I had to suffer through 2 hours or so or boringest were I nearly went to sleep,except the loudness of the movie wouldnt let me!
This movie is like Cold Mountain.Way to much hype over a stupid and boring film.

Summary: I cannot believe this movie was NOT funny!
Review: Purchased this DVD and thought "How could I go wrong?" with great actors (and the plot sounded funny) and it had potential, but it just wasn't funny. Long time to sit through a comedy and wait for the laughs to come. Save your money, you may want to rent it if you feel like throwing away a few bucks for a couple of funny scenes. What a waste of talent! And it'll be a waste of your time.

Summary: A Man or a Mouse
Review: Someday I'll write a movie review, where I agree with a majority of the reviewers but this is not someday. I suppose my problem is that I don't try to analyze and dissect a movie, by separately examining the various components of the movie. I deal in the big picture. Did I enjoy the movie and to what extent did I enjoy it? In the case of Anger Management, while not a rolling in the isles funny movie, I found it to be a clever, well written, well directed, well acted and quite funny, which is the purpose of the movie. Plot The story starts out where a bully, thoroughly embarrasses an unsuspecting, young(12 years) David Buznik (later played by Adam Sandler)by pulling down his pants in public as he is about to kiss a young attractive girl. Fast forward twenty-five years and a timid, unassertive Dave is now a secretary (Sandler gets all the good parts)whose immediate supervisor (Kurt Fuller) is .... a bully. While flying to St. Louis on a business trip, Dave, trying innocently to get headphones from a flight attendant, incredulously gets arrested for assault.
To his and his flaky lawyers astonishment, Dave is found guilty, fined $3,500 and ordered to undergo two weeks of anger management. Enter the wacky and witty Dr. Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson), as Dave's anger consoler, who seems to have Dave perform one crazy, illogical thing after another, including matching him up with a volatile, psychotic, member of the therapy group, Chuck (John Turturo)as an anger partner. This partnership shortly leads to Dave again going before the judge after an agitated Chuck starts a fight in a bar and Dave gets dragged in. The Judge sentences Dave to one year in jail or 30 days intensive, hands on therapy, which, to Daves surprise, involves Buddy, moving in and going to work with him. It is at this point that Buddy first notices a later meets Dave's girlfriend Linda (Marisa Tomei) and seems to develop a unhealthy interest in her, which in turn, seems to lead him to perpetrate even stranger and more eratic treatments upon Dave, such as taking him to meet a German transvestite hooker (Woody Harrelson) and forcing him to accost a beautiful girl (Heather Graham)in a bar, with some off the wall line, which to Dave's surprise works. Conclusion The movie was well directed by Peter Segal and overall the cast did a good job of acting, however, I thought John Turturo did an exceptional job of playing the on the edge, psycho (maybe he don't have to act) and Nicholson was brilliant with that Devilish, devious look of his. They ought to make a movie where he gets to play the Devil. They did? Well see, I told you he ought to play the Devil!680

Summary: Really stupid
Review: This is the stupidest movie I've seen in a long time and I think it may be one of the worst movies that I've ever seen. It's (with the exception of Nicholson) really not funny at all and it just seems to go on too long without going anywhere or doing anything. The ending was also awful. Are we really supposed to believe that Sandler would want to marry his girlfriend after she put him through all that? Don't buy this movie. Rent it once if you have nothing better to do and you're going to get drunk or something while you watch it.

Summary: IS THIS A MISPRINT? ME giving an Adam Sandler film 4 stars?!
Review: No. It isn't. ANGER MANAGEMENT is easily Adam Sandler's best work since THE WEDDING SINGER so by the law of statistics that means we can expect an above average movie from him at least every five years. (But hey, there are CHIMPS out there who are more proficient at math that I am. At least that's what one of my former teachers told me. Bald old prat).
After a stupid misunderstanding on board a plane (trying to poke fun at post 9/11 paranoia) David Buznik (Sandler who also co- Executive produced) is accused of assaulting an air hostess (a timely dig at all that P.C nonsense) and winds up in court. He is fined $3500 and ordered to attend 20 hours of anger management therapy. To Buznik's horror, his group therapist is Dr Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson) who happened to be a passenger on the same plane that fateful day. Coincidence? Or just Hollywood slothfulness?
Other members of the anger management group all turn out to be dysfunctional. This includes a pair of bi-sexual female porn stars/ lovers who are in therapy because of one of them is angry at her partner kissing another woman- which they consider to be taboo territory in their business!, an over zealous football fan (NZ is full of them) who can only be calmed by chanting "Goos fraba" (there's a feature on the DVD that explains all this, so I don't feel any great need to go into detail about it.)
But despite David being the least disturbed member of the group, Rydell takes the unusual step of DOUBLING his therapy time to 40 hours. This sees Buznik buddied up with the groups' most disturbed individual, a former war veteran named Chuck who describes himself as "half Irish, half me, half Italian".
But this intervention fails to work, and David soon finds himself back before the court after becoming involved in another brawl. This further hurts his now fragile relationship with his girlfriend Linda (Marisa Tomei). However this time his skin is saved by Dr. Rydell who manages to get his therapy time extended by another month. The only catch is Rydell must move in with David and supervise him around the clock. The joke here is that the supposedly eternally calm Doctor is prone to outbursts of anger and his therapy tactics start to become more and more eccentric & unorthodox- joggling on the thin line between genius and madness.
Standout scenes include a gag which involves Nicholson smashing a car window with a golf club (a few years back he wound up in the headlines for doing just that) and an unbilled Heather Graham making a brief appearance in her underwear (Yeah baby!) as well as cameos by Woody Harrelson, John C Reilly and Rudy Guliani. But the highlight of the movie for me is the sequence where Rydell has Dave confront the guy who used to bully him at school; who is now a Buddhist (Isn't that typical? You find religion and it makes everything all right! What a cop-out!
In fact ANGER MANAGEMENT is Grade A comedy until the (deep breath) TYPICALLY SAPPY HOLLYWOOD ENDING which may leave you feeling cheated. Blame Writer David Dorfman. That remains my only complaint. Heck, if I gave it four stars, Sandler fanatics will revere this as a modern classic! (No offence intended. We're all entitled to our opinions). Just watch the movie, and enjoy it.
DVD extras include Commentary by Seagal and Sandler, featurettes, outtakes and a short film starring Sandler's cute bulldog, Meatball.

Summary: A really special movie for me
Review: Anger Management has a very special place in me because it's the last movie I saw with my freind Nathan, Nathan had always been a mentor to me, not having an older sibling and not really being able to look up to my parents, I looked up to him, if it wasn't for him, I would not have been the person I am today. He died a week after I saw him last and it has left an emptiness in me that I had never felt before. I'm sorry, forgive my rambling, this movie is absolutely wonderfull up until the ending which is extremely corney but other than that, it's fun. Hope you enjoy the movie guys and girls, adios

Summary: Low Art can be good, too
Review: I'd like to say first that going in, I really wanted to like this movie. It being an Adam Sandler movie, I expected some laugh-out-loud scenes wrapped around a limp plotline. But the pairing with Jack Nicholson really intrigued me, causing much higher expectations than I might ordinarily have for an admittedly screw-ball comedy. Well, I wasn't disappointed. Nicholson was great in this role which allowed him to show a wider emotional range than I've ever seen him attempt before. He's done pent-up before, he's done crazy before, he's done mischievous before, but not all in the same movie. He deliberately left his defenses down, showing an unguarded vulnerability that makes him, well, lovable, in the same sort of way that uncle of yours is, the one who your relatives all talk about. When was the last time you could say that about any Nicholson character? Sandler hits the perfect notes in his portrayal of a put-upon nebbish who finds himself caught up in an alternate reality where violent people use the system to pin their misdeeds on him. Yes, he's played this sort of part before, but this time he doesn't so much continuosly explode with temperous rage, a la Happy Gilmore, than get embroiled into the craziness that constantly surrounds him. Well, I got exactly what I expected: quite a few belly laughs and dead-on performances by the stars. And surprizingly (refreshingly so?), a very well written script. Although there is no way I would let my children under 17 see this -- some of the humor takes advantage of sexual or perverse situations that I wouldn't want to try to explain to them -- I do recommend it as a guilty pleasure for any adult.

Summary: Disappointed in Nicholson!
Review: I would have never thought for Nicholson to take on such trash. Neither Sandler nor the guy from "Oh brother..." I did not finish the movie, was too stupid for me. Way too many sexual connotations. Disgusting! Every nickle spent was a waste!

Summary: Anger Mismanagement
Review: This movie had the potential to be a great movie. But alas It has so many hits & misses in this movie. It was incredible. The plot of the movie is about a man played by Adam Sandler who is so passive. He should have of been a football. Mistakenly is sent to Anger Management. The supporting cast who by the way was in Mr. Deeds didn't add anything valuable to the movie except Heather Graham who was brillant. Also Jack Nicholson who is a brillant actor. His talents were wasted in this movie. I like Adam Sandler but not in this movie.

Summary: Why don't we burn this trash.
Review: I've never seen a more suckier movie than this. Absolutly tasteless and annoying to watch. I can't believe my favorite actor jack nicolson acted in this low budget movie that should be spit on. Same goes for the stupid director who made this. Please don't watch this movie. Consider yourself warned
