What to Know

Critics Consensus

Thought not without its funny moments, Anger Management is ultimately stale and disappointingly one-note, especially considering its capable cast.

Anger Management is the kind of film that you could safely catch much later on television. If you have nothing better to watch. Go to Full Review Alexander Walker London Evening Standard 01/10/2018
Audiences are still looking at the stars, but nowadays they often do it from the gutter of films like Anger Management. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen The Times (UK) 01/03/2018
What is fundamentally wrong with Anger Management is that, try as they might, the two stars have absolutely no comedic or dramatic chemistry together, and so eventually the audience gets slightly bored with them. Go to Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) 05/18/2020

Tim M @tgmacman Jun 14 Even with a game Jack Nicholson elevating the proceedings, Anger Management can't contain itself when it comes to puerile humor. See more Arihanna K. @ilikecomedies12 Apr 24 Love this movie. If you have a group of friends that don't take things to seriously then this is a great movie to watch. See more Melissa M @Lisey Mar 23 If you like your movies raw and raunchy. Then you'll like this movie. If you like your comedy family friendly and that plays it safe then this is not the movie for you. You would have to realize any movie called anger management is going to be a movie that's in your face. Humor is going to be offbeat and off the wall. You know it's going to be a good movie when you see any of the SNL alumni. This film got Adam Sandler & Kevin nealon are two of the best. This movie also has actor Woody Harrelson. Makes any movie worth watching. Most any movie that stars Jack Nicholson the humor is going to be dark & crude. Isn't that what most people love about Jack Nicholson? Everybody has guilty pleasures. Even with their movie watching. This movie definitely falls under the gp category. See more Munchen B @RT75825482 Mar 23 This movie is extremely underrated anyone who give this movie 3 stars or less obviously has bad taste in comedy, and doesn't know Adams style of funny. In all seriousness, the " Experts critics" are nothing but sour, ill intentions people. They let their emotions takeover and their " Knowledge " of films diminishes from what they know. Im not going to sit her and say it's a 10/10 but its definitely higher than 60%. Its at least a 80 out of 100. It brings surprise guests people love, never dull moments and Jack has unique swag when it comes to tag team films. Its definitely a must see! See more Steven F. @SteveGotScored Mar 22 I honestly adore this movie! See more James E. @JamesE167 Mar 2 Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler have good physical chemistry and comedy together, but outside of that, this does not have much going for it.
