I see no reason why a film like this shouldn't receive such brilliant reviews. When I watched it, I thought it was hilarious - I could never imagine Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson as such a pairing. The antics that both of them get up to could knock me off my feet any time. I wouldn't say that this movie was peppered with just jokes about private parts, because it wasn't. This film had a deeper meaning than that, especially as it was one man's unexpected journey to find himself. Although that sounds a bit weird, it's true, but the fact it psychologically meaningful and still manages to pull off the most hilarious jokes, it's one of the best films of its kind.… Expand

;-(..The film ran out of gas 1/4 the way through... Great cast as Jack Nicholson can be stunning as an oddball character, but Sandler just let him down, to held back, and the 'anger-allies' went nowhere ? Not enuff interaction with Marissa Tomei, and the Court Judge was unrealistic, also some jokes were actually sad, like the 'Olivier Newton-john bit, are the referring to the singer, very inappropriate! Also, on the plane, the "this country is going through troubled times', really weird, to say that in 2003?? too serious also, sandler was a wimp. Overall, not many laughs and the far fetched...each character were a little much, and sandler was shy, TOO shy! Marissa Tomei was as always cute, but she’s, for the most part non-existent, real shame, Marissa has a natural charm on screen. Films need to be made more real and not so controlled. a stupid ending and unrealistic. Also to predictable and to many of sandlers real-life friends are in ALL his films. Was this film a comedy or slapstick/drama ? Finally, nice idea, great name, but roles were out of place and ideas did not develop in the film, like getting to know the anger group a little more. 3/10 - rent someting else, and never but this!… Expand

Thank God Adam rethought Punch Drunk Love? But this time, instead of making it so boring, he added wacko Jacko, and voila, instant insanity. This is one funny movie with the audience having as much fun as Jack and Adam had making it.

Simple plot, no hidden agenda's, with fantastic actors and supporting case make for one very funny movie. If you are looking to go to the movies to laugh then this is the ticket.

Hilariously funny. Paul if you think Adam's movies suck and they are all the same, why do you go see them? Perhaps you should have been in counseling with Adam for Anger Management. Now repeat after me...I feel pretty, I feel pretty.

"I feel Pretty" pretty good that is about this flick. I laughed my A-- off out loud as did most of the others viewers in the theater. Those people who do not appreciate slapstick humor should not see this movie. Those who do will simply love Crazy Jack having fun with Loveable Adam. The movie is a scream and their pairing is fantastic. As for those of you who hated it, repeat after me, "I feel pretty." Now doesn't that make you feel better?… Expand

This movie is a movie of a life time this is 2 superstars with 2 X funny in it it is a great movie for a family night.

I was very disapointed. With the two stars you should be able to expect more! The ending is an insult it is like a nasty trick. Almost as bad as "it was all just a dream." Does Sandler never get tired of the "little penis" jokes?

Absolutely loved it. I laughed so loud that it hurt. Just accept the film as Adam and Jack having some fun with themselves and the audience. The supporting cast was superb. Yes, the plot is silly and the end is predictable; but that does not detract from it being one funny funny film.

I have never felt compelled to post a vote before, but I feel it is my duty to knock down the average a bit. Please don't spend any money on this movie. I feel guilty for encouraging such a luke-warm chicken broth half-hearted cash-in on low standards.

Meat and Mike are probably the same person. My response to your BS is get a life. I don't know about anyone else, but the audience I saw this with laughed out loud as did I. Jack and Adam were a scream. As for the bridge scene, I have heard people walking around my office singing with a smile on their face, "I feel Pretty". This is one hysterical movie.

For those of you trying to analyze every little thing in this movie, please just relax. This is simply two great actors having fun with each other and tweaking the audience. They connect magnificently. If you want to have a good time and simply laugh out loud, then Anger Management is the ticket.

Unbelievably funny. The connection between Sandler and Nicholson was perfect for the film.

Cody what are you talking about? The audience I saw it with roared with laughter. The movie is not meant to be reality; just some good natured slapstick comedy. Obviously, this is not your cup of tea. By now everyone should know what Adam Sandler movies are like? Jack Nicholson had a ball playing Wacko Jacko. Their teaming was a scream.

Total waste of time. Why did they bother? No redeaming features whatsoever. I feel pretty? Not watching this I didn't.

This movie obviously ran out of humour somewhere with all the repetitive penis jokes. But the film is a good comedy for those of you who are different.

The movie makes some obscene jokes about people who are buddist and I don't think that it was appropiate. It is somewhat funny but not that funny as most comedy movies are.

Anger Management is really a true masterpiece. Adam sandler makes this movie enjoyable and funny. I reccomend that you see this amazing film!

The movie made me laugh at a few scenes but Adam Sandler is doing the same thing over and over. All of his movies are the same.

Absolute drivel. Not often i actually get angry watching a 'comedy', but this was insulting. Unbelievably bad. Jack comes across a sad parody of himself whil Sandler is exactly the same as in all his other films. I.E. the funny bit is where he loses his temper. Yaaawwwwn!

This movie could have been better, at times it seemed too drawn out. I really expected it to be much better just because of its cast.

I had very low expectations, but it turned out better than I thought. However, the "twist" at the ending made me like the movie considerably less...they just should have left it the way it was. Interestingly, I thought the deleted scenes that were shown in the DVD were a lot better than many of the scenes that actually made the final cut.

I enjoyed this show a few months back. Can't remember a thing about it now. Truly middle of the pack.

Promising promos and good cast set ups some high expectations. Unfortunately, not much was well written comedy ... just lame gags. Nicholson didn't work for me as the genius doctor.

Jack & Adam, Adam & Jack were dropdead funny. I had a ball. I can't wait until they hook up again. It looked like the outtakes on the DVD are going to be a scream. This is one funny movie.

This movie rocked it was really funny and even the New York jokes were funny. An all-around funny-good movie.

I am not an Adam Sandler fan and it is the usual Sandler performance. The make or break point is your view of what Jack's character does to keep the plot moving.Some people in the theater were laughing out loud, while others were walking out. The jokes thread the line between acceptable and plain absurd. if you can take jokes that push the limit you should like this movie. When will Adam Sandler grow up and play a different role? All his characters are pretty much the same and the movies seem to get worse. If not for Jack Nicholson I would have walked out, not in spite of the character.… Expand

Hilarious as this is one funny movie. Jack and Adam are great together.

I admit this is not my type of comedy. I don?t laugh when someone fights a monk or simply because a film contains numerous celebrities. And I definitely don?t welcome such a contrived story -- when a nice guy?s life is ruined for the sake of elementary comedy and then explained away with artificial cleverness.

John Y you took this so seriously. Now repeat after me: "I feel Pretty..." This was one funny movie with a tremendous supporting cast. This was not meant for a Rhodes Scholar.

I'm sorry everyone, but this movie was not good. If you people really like penis jokes and utterly stupid slapstick humor (Ex. the monk scene), then fine, but even then, this movie was simply not good. I had yet to smile when the movie ended. Sandler is not funny. He just isn't. And what was with the beginning? Did that have anything to do with the movie? Absolutely not, unless you'd like to think the movie had a real ending (which is doesn't, by the way). There is no humour in this movie. I almost felt bad for Nickolson, considering all of his films, and his acting, are great. Jack and Adam are NOT funny together. Nickolson seems out of place, and so do all of the secondary characters (that really don't need to be there). I kinda liked Sandler's previous movies. They were funny, but Anger Management is definitely not.… Expand

This movie is hilarious. I didn't think it would be that great, but I loved it.

I'm sorry but this movies sucked. To be honest, all of Sandler's movies are the same and there's not one witty joke in any one of them. This one is no different. Penis jokes, beating up on monks. and a sappy ending totally massacre this movie. Man it feels like Sandler hasnt made a decent movie in a million years.

With a duo of Sandler and Nicholson, the hype-machine in far-blast, and commercials alone that made you crack up...it sounded like the return of the Comedic Duo, right? Sadly...no, but it does have some laughs.

Suprisingly funny and enjoyable.

This is funny at points but i hate critics. Happy gilmore gets a terrible review but this gets an ok review Happy Gilmore is a Classic and this is just funny.

i mean who realy listenes to anyone from seattle? (read last critic rating)

All you need to know is that the professional critics gave it a 49. The packed audience I watched it with howled out loud. Adam and Jack were hysterical, with a very talented supporting cast. If you are looking for a funny, feel good, escape film, Anger Management is the ticket.

Pure crap. an enormous step backward after the brilliant "punch drunk love."

Nicholson and Sandler pulled off the funniest comedy since "Meet the Parents" The film actually has an interesting plot that does have character development, but the climax of the film is rather dull and corny. But if you want a good movie that will make you laugh, Anger Management does the job.

I say the professional critics are all wrong. The audience I saw it with loved it. We laughed out loud. Now isn't that entertainment. As they say, the tale of the tape (box office receipts) will tell who is right? My guess is that word of mouth will like what was seen. Go see it and have fun.

I laughed so hard that I almost wet my pants at some of the scenes in Anger Management. Jack and Adam were sensational.

I walked out of this movie after an hour. Maybe I missed all the laughs that came later, but I just couldn't take it anymore. I refuse longer sit through lame, almost funny movies just because I like the actors in it. This movie is just a waste of time.

Absolutely hilarious. What a difference from that horrible Punch Drunk Love and the boring About Schmidt. Now this is entertainment at its funniest.

O' lord was this movie horrible! As someone already said, "Its a comedy with no jokes". The toilet dick jokes were not funny, Sandler singing on the bridge was NOT funny, and the fat cat gag was funny the first 5 times. After that, its NOT funny! And who are the knuckleheads who keep giving this movie a 10? Get a clue and see Old School which is a real comedy. UGH! And don't get me started on the ending... They must've been hurtin' for ideas on that one-LAME. Plus, rooting for the Yankees is the biggest bandwagon audience kiss ass you could think of. I'm surprised Nicholson didn't talk them into staging the ending at a Lakers game. This was just bad all around.… Expand

My sides hurt! This has to be, honestly, the funniest movie I have seen in my entire life. Repetitive penis jokes? What? I caught about 3. Nicholson and Sandler, as usual, are amazing, and together it's even better. Screw the critics, go see this movie immediately.

Once you establish plausibility, anything can be funny; penis jokes, beating up a monk, you name it. But we never believe Nicholson's character could be an actual doctor. You need that root in reality for comedy to truly work. Guzman and Turturro's might've been funny if you believed in the encounter group. It's a lousy screenplay, and that's a shame, because the chemistry between Sandler and Nicholson isn't half-bad. With less concessions to Sandler's core audience, "Anger Management" could've gone in a darker direction instead of pulling that sunny reversal at Yankee Stadium. … Expand

Although I haven't been a fan of more than a handful of Sandler's offering, the teaming of him and Jack Nicholson should provide more than 5 minutes of laughs before a venture into safe, sitcom territory.

Man gets into a "situation", wrongly accused of assault, goes on Anger Management course with wacky Doctor. Average comedy with Adam Sandler & Jack Nicholson on autopilot through most of the film. Lots of good cameos though & probably the funniest cat ever on film.

A fantastic comedy with heart, all the characters acting are great, and it's just hilarious all the way through, if you a fan of Adam Sandler's other movies or just enjoy comedies then this is a must watch.

A nice built story. Great team Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. The jokes were funny enough. The theme 'i feel pretty' and the line 'goos-fra-ba' give a specific mark to this movie.

Adam Sandler has had funnier movies, but this one does have some good moments. It doesn't draw a line at the ridiculousness, but that is what helps it be a mediocre comedy.
