[color=ff00cc] [size=1]Soo.. what did you think about 'Anger Management'?

I saw it last night, and I didn't like it very much. Some of the parts were funny, but I was very disappointed in the ending.

I liked the cameos, and there are a few parts you might like if you like sports alot.

Anywho, I think it was okay. I'm not really a big fan of Adam Sandler, anyway, so I was just curious what you guys thought. ^_^;

My rating: 5.4/10.[/color] [/size]

I'm getting mixed reviews on this from everyone. *points to siggy* Good for a laugh.

Anyways, I found out about this because of a joke my management team is playing on one of the managers. Short fuse guy. From what I saw in the previews, Dr. Buddy Rydell (sp?) acts a LOT like him. Heh.

I'm not a terribly big fan of Sandler, but Nicholson is always fun. When evil. :devil: I'm planning to see this tomorrow (was supposed to see it today, but ah well).

[color=red][size=1][font=arial]I'm pretty much sold on the fact that it won't be that great, but I'm determined to see it anyways! Any movie with Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson in it is bound to be interesting at some point. It's still kinda hard to believe those two are in a movie together.

I don't think I've even heard of it.
It's like the other day, I browsed the music charts top 40, and realised that I had heard 3 of the songs on it, and like none of them. I don't so much avoid mainstream culture as ignore it. Most of it's terrible. I tend to know a lot about things that interest me (Like anime, or a certain few obscure bands, like Primus or Victor Wooten), but I bet that I won't have heard of the 'artists' behind at least 5 of the last 10 no.1 songs.

First off, I'd recommend that you be at least old enough to go for the rating (PG-13) and had a slighty lude and crude sense of humor.

Personally, I felt there were some jokes that could have been left out, they were so tasteless (the crazy sister). There were also some plot points that were weird or just made no sense. The explanation at the end was, I felt, a cop out. I was very very confused about Buddy Rydell until the very end. Not good.

HOWEVER, Sandler and Nicholson (sp?) played off each other very well. For once, Sandler's usual vulgarness was restrained until the predictable explosion moments, which helped his character a lot (I don't care for Sandler's characters half the time). Nicholson played the doctor with demonic glee, though, like I said, because of the writing I was left confused about his character.

Two of my favorite scenes: the singing on the bridge and backing the car out from in front of another car. I was laughing so hard at those moments...heh.

My rating: 7/10. Could have done better, could have done a LOT worse. (It could have been Carrey and Nicholson, *violent shudder*)

The movie has bad character development, poor writing, very few good laughs (apparently). It does, from the sounds of it, basically only one thing decently... and it still gets a 7? lol

Almost anything could be a lot worse, I don't know that that makes anything better in the long run.

I'm supposed to go to the movies tonight. From the sounds of it... I don't think this will be worth seeing. So hopefully, no one else will want to see it either lol.

Well, Anger Management deffinitly wasn't one of my favorite Sandler movies, but it was alright I guess. There were a few funny moments, but overall they could have done a lot better. After seeing Mr. Deeds, I wasn't expecting a lot from this movie, since it seemed that Adam Sandler movies have started getting worse. I wouldn't recommend seeing this in theatres, but rather wait until it comes on video or HBO.

This was probably Sandler's best movie since [i]Happy Gilmore[/i](I've not yet seen [i]Punchdrunk Love[/i]). I really enjoyed this one though.

Jack Nicholson is great--his physical comedy was a great asset to the movie. His facial expressions were hilarious. And, the plot was a lot better than it was in films like [i]Little Nicky[/i] or [i]Mister Deeds[/i]. The humor was actually [i]funny[/i] and enjoyable. It didn't feel quite as forced--it was more natural.

Towards the end, the movie took a turn for the worse and adopted a lot of the ridiculous traits apparent in all of Sandler's films, but it's probably one of the best comedies I've seen in quite a while.

It's not worth seeing more than once though, since most of the comedy relies on shock physical stuff, like guys getting hit randomly out of the blue.
