This was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. I gave it four stars because it's not at the top of all time funny movies.
Anger Management - Nicholson stole the show

And personally I think he rubbed off on Sandler and improved the "waterboy's" acting. I will definetly rent it again when it comes to DVD.

How could you give this movie a 3 stars. Was we all watching the same movie.
This movie was funny like no other. Adam Sandler stole me away with Big Daddy. Anger Management was way better especially with Jack in it as well. There two funny people who put together a funny movie.
This movie should at least get a 4.5 stars if anything. I only say that because the movie was rather slow and very long. But it did have it High and Funny Point. I wouldn't say a Must get for DVD. But I rather would say a must get HBO so you can watch it on that channel when it comes out.

The funniest movie of the year. I give this movie two thuumbs way up up. Jim Carrey again proves he is the best comedian out there right now. Must see.

Does Adam Sandler have any other characters? And Jack could have turned it up a notch! He certainly isn't as psychotic as he could be. And it would be fun to watch him blow up more (the trailer misleads you.)
A little extra is given in the form of cameo appearances by McEnroe, Knight, Harelson, Giuliani, and Graham.
This one is perfect if you just want a nice easy movie that doesn't take a lot of thought.
this movie had it's funny parts, but definitely

this movie had it's funny parts, but definitely could've been funnier. I was disappointed. The ending was predicable as well.
Admittedly, the concept of teaming Jack Nicholson

Admittedly, the concept of teaming Jack Nicholson with Adam Sandler is irresistible, but it's a premise that's absolutely stretched to the limit here.
Sandler plays Dave Buznik, a meek, mild-mannered New Yorker who's been traumatized for 25 years, ever since he was publicly humiliated in Brooklyn in 1978. Now this milquetoast finds himself on a plane seated next to an obnoxious therapist/author, Dr. Buddy Rydell - that's Nicholson. When Dave inadvertently gets into trouble with the cabin crew, he winds up in court where he's sentenced to anger management therapy with - guess who? - malevolent Dr. Rydell. At the group meetings, he and his fellow 'fury fighters' (John Turturro, Luis Guzman, Krista Allen, January Jones) are forced to listen to Rydell's psychotic ranting: "Temper's the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it" and "Sarcasm is anger's ugly cousin." Bolstered by his girl-friend (Marisa Tomei) who keeps urging him to be more assertive, Buznik tries his best to get with the unorthodox program, even when the demented doctor insists on radical round-the-clock therapy.
Screenwriter David Dorfman and director Peter Segal milk the ludicrous, often muddled, rampant-rage-rhino gags 'till they're dry and one - staged in a Buddhist monastery - tastelessly misfires into toxic vulgarity. On the other hand, Nicholson and Sandler purposefully play the lame head games, and their silly "I Feel Pretty" duet from "West Side Story" is a guaranteed laugh. For episodic distraction, Woody Harrelson, John McEnroe, Rudy Giuliani, Roger Clemens, and Derek Jeter pop up in cameos. On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Anger Management" is a crude, feeble 5. Too bad these cool stars didn't demand a better chilled story.
