The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A good sign that a movie is going to be bad is if the three stars haven't made a total of three good movies in their lifetimes. This is a perfect example of that theory. Sandler had Airheads and Tomei had My Cousin Vinny but neither were even the star in their lone good movies. I've never seen a Jack Nicholson movie because I value my time. A friend of mine asked me if I had seen this and by the time I figured out that she wasn't talking about the Charlie Sheen show, she had forgotten why she asked in the first place. That's another omen. But being the good friend that I am, I decided to give this thing a shot. That was possibly the worst decision I made in my life. There's no reason to even talk about the supposed plot and acting because the movie ended for me at the one minute mark. That's right. By the time they had wasted one minute of my life they had jumped the shark and raped my brain. Immediately after the words Anger Management leave the screen it says Brooklyn, 1978. Then we see a kid wearing a Dukes Of Hazzard shirt. Even though I'm immediately suspicious, I decide to at least wait to hear some dialogue. Wouldn't you know it, the first line is "Hey Dave I like your Dukes Of Hazzard shirt". OK, now they had forced my hand, I had to pause the movie and find out when the show started. I literally only had to type "duk" into the search bar here and without clicking anything I can see that the show started in 1979. That's where a smart person would have turned off this trash. If they couldn't even do the slightest amount of research for a movie that cost $75 million to make(with no special effects), how can the rest of the movie not be total trash? It can't and it wasn't. I watch tons of low budget sci-fi movies and they all have better plots, acting and comedy. Never see this garbage.

This movie has great potential. It has some of my favourit actors, like Jack Nicholson, Woody Harrelson, John Turturro, John C. Reilly, Luis Guzman and even a great cameo by John McEnroe.But here's the flaw: Adams Sandler is in it. You know, that overrated guy with no talent, acts even worse than an amateur with no experience, brings nothing new to his character, looks the same as ever (thank goodness he is not wearing a cheap dollar store wig in this one) and is never, ever convincing as a character with anger issues. He's just being Adam Sandler. Only the name of his character os different. Same haircut as ever, same attitude as ever, thinking he's a funny guy. And he is no funny guy. He never is.That's why I've got mixed feelings about this movie. I love the acting by the others who's names I've mentioned above, but Adams Sandler should never work with actors of this veteran status anymore.

Directed by: Peter SegalStarring: Adam Sandler, Jack Nicholson and Marisa TomeiOverall: I love Jack Nicholson and his movies are genius. I quite like Adam Sandler and Happy Gilmore is one of my favourite comedies. Putting these two together should work! It doesn't! It is awful and one of the worst comedies I've seen in a long while.Good:1. Jack Nicholson is an excellent actor and could help make any movie watchable. He is this films only saving grace.Bad:1. Such a stupid and boring plot. Even the twist(which I won't spoil in case you want to watch the movie) is stupid and doesn't work.2. It was very bland and very unfunny. I didn't laugh once but Jack Nicholson did get me smiling once or twice.3. Aide from Nicholson, the other acting was atrocious.4. Lazy and uneven cinematography.2/10

Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler) is a businessman who is wrongly sentenced to an anger-management program, where he meets an aggressive instructor (Jack Nicholson).Sandler has a special kind of humor, and it is one that has matured over the years. His classics will always be "Happy Gilmore" and "Billy Madison", but his follow-ups are pretty decent, too. This one has all the things we enjoy -- the juvenile humor, the excellent ensemble cast -- and adds in Jack Nicholson, so rarely ever makes a bad film.One thing about Sandler's films is that he tends to keep the same ensemble but rotates the leading lady (other than Drew Barrymore). This time we have Marisa Tomei, which is a stroke of genius. Obviously she knows comedy (My Cousin Vinny), but has branched out to some serious drama. In this film, she straddles both and rally grounds the humor. Her character is indispensable.
