"Anger Management" is a 2003 American comedy film directed by Peter Segal and starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson in the lead roles. The movie revolves around the story of a mild-mannered man named Dave Buznik (played by Adam Sandler) who is wrongly accused of assault and sentenced to attend anger management classes.
Dave's life takes a turn for the worse when he is involved in a minor altercation on an airplane and is subsequently arrested. As part of his plea bargain, Dave is ordered to undergo anger management therapy with Dr. Buddy Rydell (played by Jack Nicholson), an unorthodox therapist with unconventional methods.
As Dave reluctantly attends his therapy sessions, he finds himself embroiled in a series of increasingly absurd and comedic situations. Along the way, he must confront his own repressed anger and confront the people and events that have caused him stress and frustration.
"Anger Management" received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the chemistry between Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson and some of the comedic moments, but criticism for its predictable plot and reliance on crude humor. Despite mixed reviews, the film was a commercial success, grossing over $195 million worldwide.
