The greatest movie ever!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

A good sign that a movie is going to be bad is if the three stars haven't made a total of three good movies in their lifetimes. This is a perfect example of that theory. Sandler had Airheads and Tomei had My Cousin Vinny but neither were even the star in their lone good movies. I've never seen a Jack Nicholson movie because I value my time. A friend of mine asked me if I had seen this and by the time I figured out that she wasn't talking about the Charlie Sheen show, she had forgotten why she asked in the first place. That's another omen. But being the good friend that I am, I decided to give this thing a shot. That was possibly the worst decision I made in my life. There's no reason to even talk about the supposed plot and acting because the movie ended for me at the one minute mark. That's right. By the time they had wasted one minute of my life they had jumped the shark and raped my brain. Immediately after the words Anger Management leave the screen it says Brooklyn, 1978. Then we see a kid wearing a Dukes Of Hazzard shirt. Even though I'm immediately suspicious, I decide to at least wait to hear some dialogue. Wouldn't you know it, the first line is "Hey Dave I like your Dukes Of Hazzard shirt". OK, now they had forced my hand, I had to pause the movie and find out when the show started. I literally only had to type "duk" into the search bar here and without clicking anything I can see that the show started in 1979. That's where a smart person would have turned off this trash. If they couldn't even do the slightest amount of research for a movie that cost $75 million to make(with no special effects), how can the rest of the movie not be total trash? It can't and it wasn't. I watch tons of low budget sci-fi movies and they all have better plots, acting and comedy. Never see this garbage.

Dave Buznik (Sandler) flips out on an airplane after a miscommunication, and is sentenced to an Anger management program. His therapist is an abrasive loose cannon, who has methods that are unorthodox to say the least. Considering Dave's lonely life, meeting Buddy Rydell might be a blessing in disguise for him. I originally saw this in theaters and remember being highly amused by this movie. I didn't remember much about it...and decided to re-watch it. I enjoy Sandler's older movies when he actually cared about making people laugh. I wouldn't call this movie the perfect comedy by any means, but there are definitely some laugh out loud moments to be had. It's a little sad to see Nicholson stoop to these antics, but I'm not ashamed to admit that he was hilarious. He works well with Sandler and steals many of the scenes. I laughed my ass off at one of his quotes. "Then he pulled out his winky and told her it was a Strawberry Ice Cream Cone" He even sings "I Feel Pretty" with Adam Sandler! Nicholson isn't afraid to make a fool of himself in this movie and looked to be having a blast! The guy can turn anything into gold. Beneath him or not, he was amazing. It does get stagnant after a while, but for about 75-80 minutes, it's good times. It has your typical crudeness with Sandler's patented "childish routine" but he is funny. It's not a strong acting performance, but he is very entertaining! That's all that counts for me. Marisa Tomei's character is somewhat bland, but she's easy on the eyes and delivers an OK performance. Woody Harrelson has a small, but funny part. The last 25 minutes get sentimental and mushy, with a pretty clever twist that surprised me with how well it was executed. I used to be a big Adam Sandler fan! Hell, I still am to a certain extent. I'm just tired of being let down by his laziness. This movie does what it sets out to do, giving the viewer some outrageous laughs. That's what I wanted and that's exactly what I got. Remember!

We all know that some of Adam Sandlers movies can be… well… childish. There's no denying that. And in watching this movie it is easy to see some of that floating around. But, opposite Jack Nicholson, a bit of growth is given to his comedy and it finds a happy medium.I had the benefit of having watched the last half of the movie a while back before today, when I watched it from the beginning. Normally that would hinder ones outlook on the movie – but not this one. I watched today with my boyfriend and my best friend. My best friend and I knew the ending, but my boyfriend had never seen it before. About a half hour in he was staring at the screen with a weird look on his face. When I asked him what was wrong he said something along the lines of "I thought this was supposed to be a realistic type movie… I'm not sure what's going on."Now, my boyfriend is a bright man so I tried to see it from his point of view. That's when the epiphany hit. If I had watched this from beginning to end I would have hated it. I would have thought it was a dumb and dumber rip off only worse. Yet if they had made the movie any differently it would have sucked. Interesting, right?So here's my advice to you. Go find the movie. Rent it, watch it on TV, buy it, whatever. Then before you watch the whole movie, watch just the ending. Then you'll figure out what I mean.

Adam Sandler, Jack Nicholson, Marisa Tomei, Allen Covert, John Turturro, Woody Harrelson and Kurt Fuller star in this 2003 comedy. Sandler (Billy Madison) plays Dave Buznik, a guy who works in marketing. He has a problem of letting people control him and lacks confidence. Nicholson (The Shining) plays anger management guru, Buddy Rydell who is assigned to help Dave with his issues after getting into a mishap. Tomei (My Cousin Vinny) plays Dave's girlfriend, Linda, Turturro (Quiz Show) plays Chuck, one of Buddy's patients, Fuller (Scary Movie) plays Dave's boss, Frank and Harrelson (Doc Hollywood) plays Gary who dresses as transvestite, Galaxia and Sandler's frequent collaborator, Covert (Big Daddy) plays Linda's ex, Andrew. This is a good comedy, Sandler and Nicholson are great together and I recommend this.
