Review of Anger Management (2003) by Geralt S — 27 Jan 2019
Anger Management is essentially a one-joke movie that milks its central conceit long after there's nothing left. Dave Buznik (Sandler) is the mildest and meekest of guys, but, as the result of a series of improbable misunderstandings, he is ordered by a judge to undergo anger management classes taught by self-help guru Buddy Rydell (Nicholson).
In reality, Rydell, a loose canon with an explosive temper, is more in need of anger management than his client. For a while, the film culls some humor from this situation, but the screenplay goes to the well too many times.
Jack Nicholson lends heft to the film but the problem is the screenplay.
