Pros: Jack Nicholson's comedy (at points)
Cons: the boring, trite nature of the plot
Summary: Adam Sandler has done it again. What that means, everyone must know. "Anger Management" is yet another Adam Sandler comedy with a few funny moments based on an overly-'perfected' comedic formula. Believe it or not, Sandler has trouble with women ... read more

Pros: characters
Cons: Not as funny as I thought
Summary: You know again I find myself seeing movies that I thought would be funny, and in the end it wasn't. You know who is a funny guy, don't get me wrong, but this movie just didn't make me laugh as hard as his other movies.
The acting was good, ... read more

Pros: Some very funny moments when Jack Nicholson shines.
Cons: More boring moments than funny moments. Ending does not work.
Summary: Now don't get me wrong, I used to be a huge Adam Sandler fan. Some of his earliest movies are some of my favorite movies. However, lately, his movies just haven't been making the cake. Anger Management has been no exception to this rule.

Cons: I felt the movie as a whole was a huge disappointment.
Summary: The last couple of movies I have watched with Adam Sandler have been disappointments for me (little nicky anyone). However, when I saw the preview for Anger Managment, I thought it looked like a good comedy and it seemed something a bit different than ... read more

Pros: Jack Nicholson
Cons: Plot was weak, not strong enough for a full length movie.
Summary: This movie had a chance to be a really good movie, but soon after the beginning, it got lost and drifting around for a good portion of the show. Jack Nicholson tried but couldn't carry through the weakly written plot. Overall, this movie had some ... read more

Pros: Absolutely fall-off-your-seat hilarious, and great acting on the parts of Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson.
Cons: Cheesy in the worst way toward the end
Summary: Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. To me, just the stars of the show seemed to doom this movie to failure. While I love Adam Sandler's goofiness, I've never much cared for Jack Nicholson and honestly thought he would pretty much ruin the movie.

Pros: Fabulous cast.
Cons: Story doesn't live up to actors' potentials.
Summary: There was no way that I was going to miss a combination of Adam Sandler & Jack Nicholson. Sure enough, it turned out to be a fun movie. For Sandler, it was about on par with what I've come to expect. For Nicholson, it was a film that was far beneath ... read more

Pros: Jack Nicholson, Adam Sandler, Marisa Tomei(In that order), some belly laughs.
Cons: Terrible ending, dumb premise, poorly written.
Summary: To be fair right from the start, I'm picky when it comes to comedies. I like to see something unique, and I don't like them to be completely stupid.
I had high hopes for this movie based on the awesome cast. Marisa Tomei, Jack Nicholson, ... read more
