1) DVD DVD Anger Management (Widescreen Edition) by Sony Pictures. Normally, I would enjoy myself watching films that star Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. Anger Management left me disappointed. I expected some first-rate comedy from these two, but the verbal humor didn´t work that much on me. Though, Woody Harrelson did make me laugh in one of his most unusual roles. Aside from that, this movie didn´t have me in hysterics that much. Oh well. I´ll still have The Waterboy and Mr. Deeds to watch.¤ 2) DVD DVD Anger Management (Widescreen Edition) by Sony Pictures. the dvd arrived one or two days after i ordered it. i was so pleased!¤ 3) DVD DVD Anger Management (Widescreen Edition) by Sony Pictures. This is a really good Adam Sandler classic! Everybody does an awesome job, and the plot was very interesting! Sandler plays Dave Buznik who gets on a plane, and has to sit next to Dr. Buddy Rydell. Buddy happens to be an Anger Management Therapist. When Dave is wrongfully accused of being assaulting a flight attendent on the plane, he has to see Buddy for help. Buddy moves into Dave´s apartment, forces him to confront his childhood bully, makes him ask out smokin´ hot Heather Graham, even though Dave already has a girlfriend, makes him break up with his girlfriend so he can date her, and much more! I highly recommend you get some ANGER MANAGEMENT!!!¤ 4) DVD DVD Anger Management (Widescreen Edition) by Sony Pictures. This is one of those times when the ending absolutely makes the movie. For much of the movie, I was holding myself back a bit. The situations were funny, but they were extreme, and while I don´t mind unbelievable situations in movies, I enjoy them more from a distance. When I got to the end, though, it all made sense, and the movie went from a 3-star, average comedy to a 4-star comedy/drama.
Dave (Adam Sandler) is on a plane and people start completely overreacting to his simplest request, accusing him of being belligerent. It escalates, and he finds himself arrested and sentenced to anger therapy with Dr. Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson). Again, things escalate, and Buddy ends up moving in with Dave and shadowing him everywhere, even moving in on Dave´s girlfriend (Marisa Tomei).
I started out the movie being angry on Dave´s behalf, then gradually became irritated with him for allowing all these things to continue happening to him--in retrospect, it was a very effective bit of filmmaking, because that´s exactly what I believe the audience was intended to feel.
Adam Sandler was believable as the mild-mannered, put-upon young businessman. Jack Nicholson, however, seemed way over the top, until, as I said, the end, at which point he seemed perfect.
Much fun, and better than I expected. It was a good way to spend a family evening, and even engendered serious conversations about the management of anger.¤ 5) DVD DVD Anger Management (Widescreen Edition) by Sony Pictures. Unquestionably this movie was never going for plausibility. A relatively mild-mannered man, Dave Buznik finds himself in the charge of Buddy, a slightly potty anger management therapist, after an altercation on a plane finds Dave in court. Of course, the fact he´s mild-mannered is half the joke... I never really found Adam Sandler funny. He´s far better as a straight actor with a light-hearted approach. This movie confirms this, as Jack Nicholson, as Buddy, is a class above him at all times. Jack is simply funnier, and Hollywood royalty. As for ´laugh-factor´, yes there are definitely some funny moments, especially if you leave your brain at the door, but it´s not what it perhaps could have been. I feel more could have been made of the rest of the cast, such as Torturro, Guizman, Harrellson (small part). But overall it´s reasonable. Best moment is a cameo by a certain sports star...¤ 6) DVD DVD Anger Management (Widescreen Edition) by Sony Pictures. After a misunderstanding aboard an airplane that escalates out of control the mild-mannered dave buznik is ordered by judge daniels to attend anger management sessions run by doctor buddy rydell which are filled with highly eccentric and volatile men and women. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 09/20/2005 Starring: Adam Sandler Marisa Tomei Run time: 106 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Peter Segal¤ 7) DVD DVD Anger Management (Widescreen Edition) by Sony Pictures. 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. 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 counselor (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¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
