"Funny Movie, But Like Most Sandler Movies, Targeted Mostly For Teens, But Adults May Enjoy This One."

WARNING: SPOILERS COULD BE MENTIONED!!!!

I actually saw this movie kind of late, because I read mostly bad reviews for this movie. I saw this movie, and I actually found it a good movie, I actually liked this movie. Well, to say I am a teenager critic, I understand the fact why I probably found this movie very funny. I have to admit the plot of "Anger Management" wasn't well organized, but a plot doesn't need to be well written in a comedy, it just needs to be funny. Adam Sandler was really funny in this movie, but the funniest character was Jack Nicholoson. The plot was about a man named Dave Buznik, he works at a pet designer company, in the movie he is a very calm man (very ironic to the movie itself) he doesn't stand up to himself or anything. In the beginning he gets on a plane and gets into an arguement with a flight attendant(Because she claims that he is angry when he is practically whispering), then he eventually does get angry, he gets sent to Anger Management class where the teacher is Dr. Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson). As the movie goes on, these 2 become a comedy duo, at Dave has indifference about Buddy, then it goes to thinking Buddy is insane when Buddy moves in with Dave trying to get rid of his anger (Buddy is pretty nutty, but hey his techniques do have some effect on rage), then Dave thinks that Buddy is an OK guy after beating the crap out of his childhood enemy, Shankman (John C. Reily) who is a Buddhist Monk. Then it turns to hatred when Buddy starts to date his girlfriend, Linda (Marisa Tomei). Then it turns to friendship when the ending which I prefer not to mention happens. Those who saw this movie, you know what happens.

"Anger Management" had many extremely funny parts, there was a lot of profanity in there though talking about one guy named Andrew (Allen Covert) who Dave is jealous of because he has a big yin-yan. Andrew wants to date Linda. Some of the really funny parts included the part where Buddy forced Dave to be late for work when he wanted him to sing a song from "West Side Story" saying "I feel so pretty, I feel so witty, I feel very gay." It was funny seeing them sing that song and the bypassers screaming curses at them. Another funny, yet minor character was Chuck (John Tutorro). He was a guy with a lot of rage!! In the beginning Buddy assigned Chuck as an anger ally, until Chuck and Dave got into a fight and Dave accidentally hurt a cocktail waiter, of course starting the heck with Buddy moving in with Dave. The ending is an intersting ending which I will not mention. But it has a happy ending for most.

Rating: 7.5/10
