Adam Sandler shocks the earth by starring in a funny movie about a man forced to confront his anger management issues by spending a month with maverick shrink Jack Nicholson. Sandler is acceptable as the everyman with underlying issues and Nicholson is brilliant as the seemingly insane therapist, with the chemistry between the pair key to the movie's success. Belly laughs come thick and fast and though the ending is in the mawkish Sandler tradition, the overwhelming experience is one of great hilarity.
LOL This movie is one of the funniest I've ever seen. Far out the scene where Sandler and Nicholson start singing that I feel pretty song was hilarious omg it was sooo funny
This movie is wicked crazy and I mean that in a good way. In this movie Jack Nicolson teaches Sandler's character how soothing it is to destress and take out his anger........... on other people. Watch as this spinless wimp is transformed into a no nonsense bad mother *%#$@& who is not to be messed with.
Never saw it, and never will. The trailer for the film showed it to be one of the absolute Dumbest and lamest story ever, next to the last one Adam Sandler did before this one, "Punch Drunk Love"...Also, HORRIBLY STUPID!!!
I loved that in the end I had no idea that he was set up the whole time. i can usually guess the end of a movie within a few minutes. Didn't see this coming....
I Love Adam Sandler & Jack Nicholson, so it was a must see. MY favorite part is when they sing "I Feel Pretty" in the middle of the road, in NY traffic.
This is probably meant to get the viewer worked up (maybe in sympathy for Sandlers character) but it was mostly the shit plot and the lack of any comedic moments that left me fuming. Should know better by now though!
Funny movie. I walked out of this screening with only those two words coming out of my mouth (and plenty of salsa, thank you very much) and for any comedic enterprise, I don't think you could ask for too much more than that. I went into this picture with very few expectations since I wasn't particularly impressed with much from its trailer (other than the stuff on the plane), but I have to say that it actually managed to entertain me pretty much the whole way through with some hearty chuckles, some laugh-out-loud laughs and plenty of giggles. What really made this movie work though, other than its joke-filled screenplay of course, was the chemistry between Nicholson and Sandler. Yes, I never thought I'd hear myself say that, but the balance of the "psycho" vs "calm" guy was played perfectly here and much like Crystal and DeNiro worked well off each other in the ANALYZE THIS flicks, the two lead actors were the lynchpin in this film. It is to note, however, that I've always been a pretty big fan of Sandler's work (other than a couple of his films that didn't click for me), and after his solid turn in last year's PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE, it's nice to see him trying to "grow" somewhat as an actor (he doesn't play the typical "man-child-idiot" that he does in most of his films here). Another thing that strengthens most Sandler comedies are its secondary players and much like he did in MR. DEEDS, John Turturro has a blast with his role here and is as funny as ever. Give this man a starring role in a comedy already...he's hilarious! Credit also goes out to Sandler for taking on the "straighter" role in this film and for allowing others to bring forth more of the humor. Luis Guzman is also a hoot as the angry "queen", as is Allen Covert, Sandler's staple right-hand man, as the ideal big-dicked asshole.
A tiny nod also goes out to Marisa Tomei for playing her part of the "adorable girlfriend" as "adorable" as can be, and to Heather Graham for, once again, gracing us with a clean shot of her wonderful package in undergarments. Thanks babe...I needed that!! Another thing that surprised me about this movie was its reliability. You know how a lot of these comedies start off strong for the first half an hour but then steamroll into zero laughs and unfunny gags up the wazoo? Well, this film started the same way but surprisingly maintained a pretty consistent quotient of laughs throughout (except for the finale, which went for the inevitable Sandler "romantic corn"). And while the plotline is obviously not a revolutionary one, they still managed to spice things up with a left turn here and a right turn there. Some of the more memorable moments included lesbians in action, Mayor Giuliani getting the honors of Sandler's trademark "You can do it!" line, eclectic anger management sessions, fun with fat cats, fun with fat monks and the underlying humorous notion of Sandler being misdiagnosed in various situations as well as plenty of the proverbial Sandler staples like dick jokes, gay jokes, cameos galore, swearing and folks getting angry and going loopy. On the negative tip, the editing seemed a little choppy with some scenes feeling short or even left out and the revelatory ending, a little lame and somewhat unrealistic. Certain jokes also didn't work for me including the "West Side Story" shtick, which I thought was taken a little too far, and the Woody Harrelson cameo, which seemed like a "funny" concept, but didn't play all that well (although it's nice to see that he's alive and well...or high?) Then again, not every joke works in any comedy, so that's par for the course. In the end, I certainly don't foresee folks doing cartwheels over this production, but if you're looking for some "easy" laughs with a couple of big-time movie stars, and several funny supporting characters, having a blast with an entertaining screenplay, ANGER MANAGEMENT might just be for you.
A fun movie to watch with you friends. Laughable Sandler and Nicholson bounce off each other with great jokes throughout and make a perfect movie comedy double team.
Actually, I'm hoping more on this movie... Jack Nicholson teams up with Adam Sandler, which in my opinion, should be a great movie... But what I thought after I saw this movie, that is this movie weren't that great, not particularly funny... Maybe they have some funny scenes, but overall, it's bad and a little boring... I thought this movie would have something different just because of it's theme which is anger management, but I'm just wrong... It just a general comedy movie using some unique themes but the story anyway just a general comedy movie... After watching about half of this movie, I'm just not interested anymore... I'm just curious to know how will this movie end... And the ending itself didn't end brilliantly like the movie told, it just the same as another Adam Sandler movie that he has a speech to someone which is important for him, and in this movie is his girlfriend... Yet Adam Sandler himself just didn't fit for the role he played in this movie... He just really have 'too nice' face so that thinking that Adam could end up like a rhino maybe when he gets mad, it just weird... But they got the good one by picking Jack Nicholson for his role in this movie... Even he is too old, but he still has the bad boy face...
