ANGER MANAGEMENT, directed by Peter 'NUTTY PROFESSOR 2' Segal, looks into the life of Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler), an executive assistant at a pet clothing company. The...
more...mild-mannered but overly passive Dave is in love with his girlfriend, Linda (Marisa Tomei), yet his anxious personality keeps him from taking things further, both in their relationship and in his career. However, Dave's life takes a strange turn when he is wrongly accused of 'air rag'" on a flight and sentenced to mandatory anger management classes. Eccentric anger guru Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson) becomes Dave's therapist, but when Buddy abruptly moves in with Dave, the doctor-patient relationship takes an unusual turn.
An appropriate pairing of actors with oversized personalities, ANGER MANAGEMENT allows Nicholson to run amuck, while letting Sandler hone the mellower side of his cinematic presence. As Sandler's Dave becomes more bewildered at his predicament, Nicholson's Buddy teeters wildly between wise and rambunctious. Meanwhile, Tomei shines in her role as Dave's beloved. Of course, no mainstream Sandler movie would be complete without a number of familiar faces in supporting and cameo roles, and ANGER has them by the boatload. John Turturro steals every scene he's in; Luiz Guzman sports some remarkably unfortunate facial hair; Heather Graham shows up as a brownie-hurling blonde bombshell; and John C. Reilly appears as a bully-turned-Buddhist-monk. And to top it all off, there are cameos by renowned 'angry' sports figures Bobby Knight and John McEnroe, as well as former mayor of NYC, Rudy Giuliani.

You take one of the best actors in Hollywood at the moment (Jack Nicholson (About Schmidt, A few good Men), put him together with a younger, but firmly established actor (Adam Sandler (Little Nicky, Happy Gilmore), and what are you left with? One of the worst films I have seen in a long time.

The storyline revolves around David Buzznik, a businessman who is constantly being pushed around by his boss. During a flight to a meeting he is wrongly accused of having an anger problem, and is forced to attend anger management sessions with the eccentric Nicholson.

From there on, everything goes from bad to worse, culminating in Nicholson running off with his girlfriend, or so he thinks.

The end of the film sees David getting the girl, realising that the whole thing was set up by Nicholson, and everyone lives happily ever after.

Having seen trailers and posters for this film, I bought it with some excitement. i have been a fan of Nicholson for years, and Sandler is a good young actor, but I was left sadly dissappointed. The basic idea is quite a good one, but the gags are often too corny, and the plotline exceedingly predictable. If there is one saving grace to this film it is the soundtrack, which includes Blondie, the BeeGees, and the Who.
