...stop and watch, even though nothing is really going on - that's what I think about the film 'Anger Mgmt' - as a matter of fact, my wife tried to stop watching more than a few times and yet was compelled to sit and watch to see what ridiculously stupid and completely unrealistic thing would happen next - kind of like listening to Howard Stern. It's not that the film is that bad - it's just not nearly as funny as I had hoped it would be, but then I guess I'm one of the few people that doesn't think that Adam Sandler is really that funny most of the time - although I have not seen several of Sandler's movies, so far the only Adam Sandler film that I thought was truly and originally funny was his 1996 hockey/golf comedy 'Happy Gilmore' - but his 2002 remake-film 'Mr. Deeds' was an insult to good cinema in general, and much of his comedy is just way too lowest-common-denominator oriented for me - even his 'Saturday Night LIVE' stuff never really caught my attention like the great stuff of many of his SNL predecessors, such as Belushi, Murray, and Murphy. ...but fans of Jack Nicholson, of which I am one, will probably enjoy his kooky role as the anger mgmt specialist...and Marisa Tomei is lovely, as usual...and the members of the anger mgmt therapy group are a bonus, with most of the best laughs provided by the actors playing the therapy group's odd bunch of anger-possessed nut-jobs, like Luis Guzman('Boogie Nights') and John Turturro('The Color of Money')... Just try and control your anger if 'Anger Management' doesn't deliver all the laughs you had hoped for. If you're a Sandler fan, Enjoy!Read full review
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.
This was a good movie, but the laughs were pretty cheap. The jokes were predictable. If you just want to shut your brain off and laugh, then enjoy. The casting is perfect.

I actually saw this at the movies prior to the DVD being released. The message this movie brings to mind was done in such a humorous way, that many of the 'going ons' from the movie have stuck with me. Director Steven Segal did a wonderful job. The plot is very good and the acting by both Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler are extremely well executed. David Dorfman has many great ideas when writing the script for this comedy. I enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to any one.
great movie, not for the PG age group, alot of adult content but worth the laugh. The movies is about a man who is being told he has a anger problem and is sent to get help from a doctor of therapy. This he does and he ends up getting angrier at everyone and anything.
