Comments
"Anger Management", the movie is about a mild-mannered Dave Buznik (Sandler)
who is accused of a crime and ordered to an anger management program by
Judge Daniels (Thigpen). The anger management program is run by Doctor
Buddy
Rydell (Nicholson) who seems to be the one with the real anger management
problem. Dave Buznik seems to be the last one that should be attending
these anger management sessions.
imho - Mild-mannered Adam Sandler takes us along a funny series
of contrived situations played against the explosive anger of Nicholson.
Nicholson does a wonderful job of setting up the movie. A mystified
Doctor who you sense from the begining that he is not all there and soon
discovered that he is really totally psycho himself. Then he introduces
Buznik to the therapy group.
After the movie setup, it is all Sandler comedy with Buznik finding
himself losing total control over even the most simplistic things in his
life like his quiet time in his own apartment and his girlfriend.
This movie seems to jump from one setup scene to another. Try not to
follow the plot. Just enjoy the interactions between Sandler and Nicholson
as Buznik loses total control over his life. Most scenes are expected but
some are funny and enjoyable. If you like Adam Sandler then you will love
the movie.
Though the movie is rated PG-13, the language is crude so it may not
be for all families. Not a great movie but the movie can be quite funny
and entertaining. Anger Management should do quite well at the box office.
A must see for Adam Sandler fans.
