The irresistible pairing of Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler is the best reason to see Anger Management, a comedy that might have been subtitled "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 counsellor (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
Product Description
After a small misunderstanding aboard an aeroplane escalates out of control, timid businessman Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler) is ordered by the court to undergo anger management therapy at the hands of specialist Dr Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson). Dave reluctantly accepts the doctor’s counseling, but after another mishap Buddy steps up his aggressive and unorthodox treatments by moving in with Dave. As Buddy wreaks havoc with every aspect of his life, Dave must decide whether to crawl back into his shell or finally stand up for himself.

Jack Nicholson at his best!! Absolutley hilarious and worth every penny!!
23 Jan 2007
Format:DVD
How anybody could not like this film is beyond me! It's a very funny film, with a good ending and generally just enjoyable!
Adam Sandler plays a good part but no where near as good as Jack Nicholson. Nicholson's potrayal of the doctor who tries to cure Adam Sandler's character is fantastic! Nicholson's jokes are hilarious and his general manor and quotes are just brilliant! The best quote from Nicholson being : 'Can you please give me your name Mr. Head, and please don't tell me it's d**k' It's a must see for any Nicholson fan and a generally funny film, i thought it was worth every penny.

This is a very funny movie, Jack at his wicked best, Adam being Adam, the script is very sharp, got this after watching very short clips on 'you tube' I just had to see the completed movie in all it's glory, it didn't disappoint....'I said over easy!'
Anger Management....'I don't need it....alright'
So much in this movie, and the DVD is feature packed 10/10

I absolutely love Sandler and Nickolson but when they work together they make a fantastic double act!
I have never laughed so much in my life as I did during some of the scenes in this film. It is very well written with some hysterical moments of pure comedy.
I recommend this to any Sandler fan, it is an enjoyable watch wit some witty characters.
