... View MoreDirected by: Peter SegalStarring: Adam Sandler, Jack Nicholson and Marisa TomeiOverall: I love Jack Nicholson and his movies are genius. I quite like Adam Sandler and Happy Gilmore is one of my favourite comedies. Putting these two together should work! It doesn't! It is awful and one of the worst comedies I've seen in a long while.Good:1. Jack Nicholson is an excellent actor and could help make any movie watchable. He is this films only saving grace.Bad:1. Such a stupid and boring plot. Even the twist(which I won't spoil in case you want to watch the movie) is stupid and doesn't work.2. It was very bland and very unfunny. I didn't laugh once but Jack Nicholson did get me smiling once or twice.3. Aide from Nicholson, the other acting was atrocious.4. Lazy and uneven cinematography.2/10
... View MoreDave Buznik (Adam Sandler) is a businessman who is wrongly sentenced to an anger-management program, where he meets an aggressive instructor (Jack Nicholson).Sandler has a special kind of humor, and it is one that has matured over the years. His classics will always be "Happy Gilmore" and "Billy Madison", but his follow-ups are pretty decent, too. This one has all the things we enjoy -- the juvenile humor, the excellent ensemble cast -- and adds in Jack Nicholson, so rarely ever makes a bad film.One thing about Sandler's films is that he tends to keep the same ensemble but rotates the leading lady (other than Drew Barrymore). This time we have Marisa Tomei, which is a stroke of genius. Obviously she knows comedy (My Cousin Vinny), but has branched out to some serious drama. In this film, she straddles both and rally grounds the humor. Her character is indispensable.
... View MoreThere isn't anything particularly special about this comedy. It has two big stars and was bound to make lots of money because of that, along with the amount of advertisement that wen't into it. The appealing title probably added a few viewers as well. It also, was bound to get a decent amount of hatred from critics for much the same reasons.Adam Sandler's character is a combination of two of his previous roles: Longfellow Deeds, and Happy Gilmore. David Buznik is an overly mild-mannered, like Deeds, and is put in situations that, as the title implies, make him angry. Sandler's rages closely resemble those from Happy Gilmore, and he doesn't have a personal language policy like with Mr. Deeds. Jack Nicholson's character is more than a little quirky and joins the ranks of unconventional teachers. He is very good at making Dave, as well as the audience, uncomfortable and horrified at several points.The comedy doesn't have an overriding amount of originality to it. There are a number of run-of-the-mill slapstick brawls. None of the verbal comedy is terribly witty or intelligent. Basically, the humor allows you to turn your brain off for a while. The PG-13 rating is well deserved, as there are a number of gay gags throughout accompanied by other themes that probably came up at your lunch table in high-school. Despite that, the jokes are well delivered and all of the characters are well acted.There is some cleaner situational comedy too, and most of this comes from the plot, which is the force that really drives this film. If you've watched the trailer or talked to anyone who had seen this movie, you likely have a good idea of the storyline. However, there are also lots of individual situations where the people around Dave overreact, which becomes a prominent theme of the movie. When I saw it for the first time, I was wondering if all of the overreaction was making some kind of statement against social norms of the time, since I was pretty young when the movie came out. I won't reveal the real cause of the overreactions since it would spoil the entire movie.If you get annoyed with the verbal comedy a few minutes into it, it's probably a waste of your time to finish watching. However, if you don't like the plot, I would definitely recommend that you watch the whole thing. It's a movie should be viewed more than once, in much the same way that The Prestige is. It's a pretty typical Adam Sandler movie, so I would recommend it to Sandler fans. You can watch it with a bunch of other people without worrying about missing the plot. It's not something you probably want to spend money on, but it's worth a try if you can watch it for free. Overall Rating: 8/10
