Adam And Jack Are the Perfect Pair - Paulywood
Adam Sandler And Jack Nicholson are the perfect comedic team in this laugh out loud comedy. Sandler gives us what we love from him, laughter from start to finish. Nicholson proves he can hold his own in the world of comedy. Together they work through Dave Buznik’s (Sandler) anger issues. Dr. Buddy Rydell (Nicholson) pushes Dave into recovery in ways that will tickle your funny bone over and over. Great watch if you enjoy 90 minutes of laughter.Comedy With A Twist - punkjuliette
As time goes on Sandlers movies are changing from stupid funny to a little more grown up humour. I'm afraid I'm still a large fan of his stupid funnies, but Anger management had a twist that I wasn't expecting, so it deserves a better rating because of that. I truly believed Nicholson and Sandler were a great pair in this movie. Sadly I am not a fan of Marisa Tomei. But all in all a good comedy.Sandler & Nicholson -- together at last! ?!?! - Ziman
Although leaning toward the tradition of the mis-matched buddy flick, which can often times be too predictable, Anger Management has many unique and very funny moments. The differences between what Buznik (Sandler) wants versus what Rydell (Nicholson) demands of him often leads Buznik into some very bizarre encounters and experiences. For a guy who seems to have his life in order, misaligned therapy might be the worst thing for him at this point.
At first thought, whomever conceived the idea of putting Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler together in a movie would get the word `INSANE' tattooed across his/her forehead... but this match up really works. Nicholson has a broad ability to deliver pretty much whatever type of role is demanded of him. Be it a serious role, or a comedic role, or the role of a crazed lunatic... Nicholson can deliver. His portrayal of Buddy Rydell is no different. In fact it might be a bit of everything he's ever done (at the same time being nothing like anything he's ever done).
Adam Sandler on the other hand, has a knack for playing the part of a circus clown in most of his movies. His career, up to recently were low-end, second-class comedies. Not to say there isn't a place for those types of films, but Sandler is capable of so much more, and he is growing-up. And he redeems himself in this movie. He still delivers comedy and does it well, and he does it with a more mature and serious demeanor.
It's almost as if that during the making of this film, Sandler was feeding off Nicholson's ‘aura' of a long-time professional actor and using it to his advantage, while at the same time letting Nicholson play the part of the clown this time.
It's not a perfect film, but it's certainly entertaining and is one of the better comedies I've seen in the past couple of years... and again, Nicholson and Sandler on screen together are a perfect duo in this film. This film is definitely recommended viewing.
