Anger Management
I resisted watching this for the longest time, for the simple reason that I hate Adam Sandler. He's awful, in every sense of the word. But rejecting the film unseen caused me some pain, because my hatred for Sandler is the inverse of my reverence for Jack Nicholson, who might just be the best actor of his generation (not the least because, when he smiles, he looks like Satan having his best.day.ever.).
If I had the skills, I would edit Sandler out of the entire film and replace him with someone with actual talent - Steve Carrell or Ryan Reynolds, maybe. Or a hat rack.
Very funny film, but none of the funny bits come from Sandler. Nicholson, John Turturro, Luis Guzman and an underused Woody Harrelson take care of the funny.
5.5 out of 10 (the .5 is because of an extended scene of Heather Graham in her underwear). Would have been 9 out of 10, but, you know, Sandler.
