Anger Management: a page of its own...

It's not the best... it doesn't have to be.  It gets a page of its very own.

Anger Management
- by Tara
Before I say anything it is CRITICAL for you to know that I am not one of those die-hard fans who thinks Adam Sandler can do no wrong. Sure he was awesome in SNL, but some of his movies downright sucked in my opinion (coughWaterboycough). So please don't mistake my fondness of this movie for an overwhelming bias in favor of Sandler.  Having said that, everyone should see this movie and join me in congratulating Sandler on a new upward spiral back towards the prestige of The Wedding Singer (yes I am biased towards THIS movie-my fav). Like TWS, this movie has the key to success-another big name. The legendary Jack Nicholson goes above and beyond the call of duty, steals the show, and renewed my faith in Adam Sandler movies. The dynamic between Nicholson's wacky antics and Sandler's characterization as the straight man will be a tough act to follow in future Sandler movies. I will forever be in awe of Jack's versatility as an actor and hope Sandler finds similar luck in casting his next movie.  Not to say the movie was flawless. The premise for the entire movie was a tad far-fetched-there is no way all the plot developments leading up to Sandler's need for therapy could have really fallen into place. But the wacky situations in which Sandler's character finds himself are hilarious, and there are some great cameos towards the end. So get up off your asses Sandler fans, Nicholson admirers, and Yankees fans (you'll see!) and see this movie.
