I've never seen Jack Nicholson in a bad movie. (Sorry to say I can't say the same for Adam Sandler, but this isn't one of them.) Nicholson wears his advancing years wisely, playing aging "characters" with great talent and sometimes a little scenery chewing. Sandler's character is the initally low key, innocent bystander sort of guy, swept up in a comedy of errors and forced to attend an anger management class, taught by Nicholson. It seems the teacher is determined to provoke his student at every turn, and the poor dude just keeps getting sucked in further and further. No spoilers here, but the dynamics between Nicholson and Sandler and among Sandler and the other "students" are often truly funny. The movie ends a little lamely, but that's show biz. It's worth a watch, and I'll watch it again, I'm sure.Read full review
This is a movie you may not want to watch everyday, but definitely a must see and also one you'll want to watch time and time again. Sandler and Nicholson palys awesome roles, as the movie starts out with Adam Sandler having Anger Management issues. That all changes when the courts appoint Jack Nicholson to take Sandler under his care. This is when Sandler sees what Anger Managament is all about, as Nicholson seems to just flip out at the spur of a moment!! Can we say Bi-Polar? LOL!! The movie holds your attention from beginning to end!! You'll have more than your fair share of laughs, and the great ending may even bring a tear to your eye. This movie shows what one will do to forever be with the one they love! If you havent yet seen it, BUY IT TODAY!! You'll enjoy it very much!!!
This is one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. It's so different from anything else that I've seen before, it's really original. Both Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson give great performances. Jack definitely knows how to play a crazy person well. It's the perfect role for him, I can't see anyone else playing it better. This is the perfect movie for any Adam Sandler fan, or any comedy fan. This will have you roaring with laughter the whole way through.
the movie had way more sexual humor in it than I remembered. Silly humor was abundant. I remembered it being funnier than it actually is. Many great parts and funny things...but too much gross humor.

I bought this mainly for my son b/c he's a major Adam Sandler nut, but I find myself sliding down next to him completely engrossed whenever it's on. It's as hilarious now each time I watch it as it was when it first came out. I think Sandler and cast did a fabulous job of capturing his/her character(s). I don't think it's feasible for it to actually happen in "real" life, but it's a nice take away from the obvious with a great ending.
