Anger Management
Starring: Adam Sandler, Allen Covert, Heather Graham, Jack Nicholson, John Turturro, Luis Guzman, Lynne Thigpen, Marisa Tomei, Woody Harrelson
Details: US / 101 mins / (12PG).
While the premise of Anger Management has undisputed potential (had it been played a little darker and straighter), the filmmakers are too eager to go for the easy, obvious gags. Understandably, this artistic impatience leads to a lack of quality control and the movie is far too reliant on the force of its central actors' personalities. Though certainly not as nunaced as his performance in Punch Drunk Love, Sandler goes down the low key route again with some success, leaving the way open for Nicholson to dominate. Jack is having so much fun with his wild eyed raging bull of a character that occasionally he makes the audience forget that the material doesn't extend beyond the predictably low brow.
