This movie came out when Adam Sandler was on a roll! He honestly could not do a bad movie. This movie wasn't as good as Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison, but it was very good. Adam plays a man who was ordered by the court to attend anger management. In his anger management class, Adam meets Jack Nicholson (who played his role of the crazy, psychologist very well) and Jack diagnoses Adam as very angry. Thus, Jack has to move in with Adam. The hilarity ensues as Jack tries to teach Adam to stay calm.

Another fantastic Adam Sandler movie. He and Jack Nicholson played their parts well and were really funny. It has a great story about a man thinking that he has anger problems that comes out with a very good ending.

What a story line? Totally unexpected. A very relaxing movie. Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson plays their characters extremely well. Movie is full of humour.

  The two XXL personalities are in fit, fighting form in a comedy as bracing and furiously right for the moment as it is broad and huggable.

  Each actor is unusually watchful and wily, and their actorly competition underscores the one-upmanship of their characters.

  It's good fun for a while, especially the therapy sessions that feature Luis Guzman as a gay hood with a paunch he covers in Day-Glo spandex and John Turturro as Dave's "anger buddy." John C. Reilly also scores as a bully turned Buddhist monk.

  At a time when screen comedy has its own problems with anger management, Sandler's self-possessed style is as refreshing as it is funny.

  Without insult to either film, Anger Management could be called "Punch-Drunk Love" for the masses.

  As a comedy duo Nicholson and Sandler pose no threat to the legacy of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, in part because Sandler is so outclassed, but mostly because everyone involved is playing it safe.

  Nicholson operates in full-bore demonic mode in Anger Management, eclipsing gentle star Adam Sandler and satisfying everybody who's been waiting for Hollywood's Wild Man to cut loose once more.

  Essentially a one-joke movie that milks its central conceit long after there's nothing left.

  A ragged piece of filmmaking, but the odds are you'll have as good a time watching it as Nicholson and Sandler seemed to have making it.

  Only a smattering of the potential is realized in this tolerable disappointment, which is so unworthy of getting angry about that it will still become a knee-jerk hit.

  The important things first: It's always a relief to come out of an Adam Sandler movie without a case of hives, and you can comfortably attend Anger Management without prophylactic antihistamines.

  The antics here are strained, graceless and tiresomely crude, the sorts of things audiences feel they're supposed to laugh at rather than well-developed situations that generate genuine amusement.

  Although Sandler's formula remains constant -- the downtrodden hero can do eet! -- what's new is his willingness to share the screen equally with a male co-star. Not that anyone could get in the way of that mugging steamroller Nicholson.
