Movie Review: Anger Management

Friday, March 5, 2010
Synopsis: After a misunderstanding aboard an airplane that escalates out of control, the mild-mannered Dave Buznik is ordered by Judge Daniels to attend anger management sessions run by Doctor Buddy Rydell, which are filled with highly eccentric and volatile men and women. Buddy's unorthodox approach to therapy is confrontational and abrasive and Dave is bewildered by it. Then, after yet another mishap, Judge Daniels orders Dave to step up his therapy or wind up in jail. So, Buddy moves in with Dave to help him battle his inner demons. Buddy himself has no inner demons since he acts out at every opportunity and that includes making lewd comments about Dave's girlfriend Linda and goading Dave into confronting every slight, past or present, head-on. But Buddy finally goes too far and Dave must decide whether to crawl back into his shell or stand up for himself. Could it be that Buddy's confounding and contradictory treatment is just what the doctor ordered?

One crazy hilarious film that matched the perfect combination: an amazing cast, good direction and a pretty funny script.

Anger Management is about the story of Dave Buznik, a young executive who faced a traumatic experience being a little kid. He was embarrassed while he was trying to kiss the girl of his dreams when another boy dropped his shorts down in front of all his friends, people and especially, the girl. Now that he's an adult, he has some issues trying to kiss or show affection to his girlfriend in public.

During a trip for work, he faces an incident inside the plane and he needs to face the judge who obligates him to ger enrolled in an anger management program for 20 hours. He'll face some really crazy situations while he's involved in this program, especially when he faces some events that will make him feel like he's losing his girlfriend.

The end of all these crazy situations, program and events are finally related with a secret help his girlfriend has set to help him to take a step forward and control his old fears and traumas, and more important, show her the love he feels in public and feel comfortable to commit and propose her.

A hilarious plot with some amazing role performances played. It was actually funny to see that Adam Sandler was put in a second place, overshadowed by Jack Nicholson's hilarious role.
