Review By Peter Veugelaers © 2003:
- You'll need a survivor pack

In "Anger Management" box office drawcard Adam Sandler plays Dave Buznik, a designer of cat apparel, who continually loses out on a job promotion to a guy who is creatively his junior. While traveling via plane he is apprehended for assaulting an airline hostess, although he denies it, and sent to 30 days of anger management therapy.

His therapist is played by Jack Nicholson who has an unusual and aggressive approach to counseling in that he thrives in a live-in situation with Dave and watches his every move until he graduates step by step up the therapeutic ladder.....more

Review By Blake French:
- Electrified turkey

If you tell your friend a joke, he’ll laugh, unless, of course, it’s a bad joke, in which case he’ll cringe. But if you start to tell your friend a joke but change the subject before the punch line, he will not laugh nor cringe, but probably just stand there and look at you dumfounded. If you do this over and over, more likely than not, your friend will not be your friend for long.

Hence the problem with Anger Management, a film that irritated me so profusely I wanted to seek just that. It is one big joke without a punch line; it develops humorous situations but doesn’t include any payoffs. For example, Woody Harrelson plays a New York cross dresser who, at one point in the movie, comes on to the character played by Adam Sandler. Funny possibilities abound, but Harrelson exits the scene before anything funny actually occurs. This is maddening, and the movie does it over and over again, ranking it among the worst comedies to date in a year that includes Kangaroo Jack and Old School.....more

Anger Management
Average Customer Review:
3.4 out of 5 stars
The irresistible pairing of Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler is the best reason to see Anger Management, a comedy that might loosely be called The Funny and the Furious.
