On a movie
I don’t like a lot of Adam Sandler’s comedies but liked The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, and the one watched the past two days a lot. The latest one was called Anger Management.
To me it is about a man played by Sandler who seems to be being assailed by his community, then gets angry and punished by a judge for it, and forced into therapy with a doctor played by Jack Nicholson.
Some interesting lines from the film:
“I thought you were joking.”
“No, the serious part was the joke.”
When after visiting a Buddhist monastery…
“You kicked some serious monk ass back there!”
The movie ends happily with Sandler’s character marrying his love interest. While I don’t like some of his work, he can be funny IMO in this movie by having the main character having a full-time job of making coats and caps for overweight cats.
One of the movie critics said it had an interesting premise but did not really follow through. I don’t agree. A lot of people have anger issues and try to turn to comedy to vent it. It is better than violence, even if people can be offended by the attempts at humor.
