A man comes face to face with the rage he didn't know he had in this
comedy.
Dave Buznick (
Adam Sandler) is an even-tempered businessman who, after a series of strange misunderstandings on an airline flight, finds himself accused of air rage. A judge sentences
Dave to undergo anger management therapy, and he soon finds himself in the care of
Dr. Buddy Rydell (
Jack Nicholson), a celebrated therapist. However,
Dave's group therapy sessions with a handful of truly disturbed individuals -- among them jumpy ex-con
Chuck (
John Turturro), obsessive sports fan
Nate (
Jonathan Loughran), slow-burning
Lou (
Luis Guzman), egocentric
Andrew (
Allen Covert), and bisexual
porn stars
Gina and
Stacy (
Krista Allen and
January Jones) -- leave him far more unsettled than when he arrived. Later, when
Buddy decides to move into
Dave's home for intensive therapy, he soon discovers
Buddy has more than a bit of his own anger to resolve, and that no one brings out
Dave's deeply buried inner rage quite like
Buddy.
Anger Management also stars
Marisa Tomei as
Dave's girlfriend,
Linda; in addition, the film features a number of notable actors in cameos, including
Woody Harrelson,
John C. Reilly,
Ray Liotta,
Heather Graham, and
Harry Dean Stanton.
