Anger Management

Hey Everyone!! 

I hope you all are doing well, I can’t believe we are almost halfway to November, 2024 is coming to a close soon! 

I have decided to write about one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies Anger Management, starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. 

We are first introduced to a boy who lives in Brooklyn by the name of Dave Buznik in the year of 1978 he’s about to have his first kiss with a girl and before he does he gets his pantsed by the local  Bully named Arnie Shankman .

25 years after that incident that happened Dave works for a very disrespectful boss named Frank.

Dave’s bullying trauma causes him not to show PDA to his girlfriend in public Linda , his problems are exacerbated by his narcissistic coworker Andrew who is close friends with Linda and is trying to rekindle their past relationship together.

Dave is now on a plane flying somewhere and he loses his temper albeit mildly after being disrespected by a flight attendant and being tasered by the sky Marshall, he is arrested for assaulting the flight attendant, and is sentenced to Anger Management classes taught by Buddy Rydell,  a renowned therapist who sat next to him on the plane.

 However during a group therapy session Dave slightly snaps after not understanding one of Buddys questions and he has to interact with people who have far more aggressive problems than him.

 Dave’s sentence is extended to thirty days after he accidentally breaks his waitresses nose while he defends himself from a blind man’s cane during a bar fight with his anger Buddy Chuck, he is back in court and is on the verge of being sent to prison until Buddy steps in and talks to the judge and says he needs radical around the clock therapy Buddy moves In with him and accompanies him to work.

This entails unorthodox techniques which cause him to be passive aggressive, at Dave’s Job Buddy is shocked to learn about Andrew’s well endowed friendship with Dave’s girlfriend Linda,  after seeing a picture of Linda Buddy becomes smitten with her which annoys Dave.

Dave in the meantime talks with his attorney to see if he can get his sentence overturned and learns from him Buddy has a series of lawsuits pending , Dave attempts to build evidence against him gets foiled by Buddy repeatedly.

While on the way to work Buddy has Dave sing a song and park his car on the bridge and sing a parody of I feel pretty with Buddy to calm his attitude.

Dave received a phone call saying that buddy’s mother needs to have surgery a minor surgery not to the extent that Dave said or exaggerated it to be , Buddy tries to get Dave to cheat on Linda the plan doesn’t work you will see what happens when you watch the movie.

Buddy tells Linda that Dave was with another lady. Linda tells Dave that she agrees with Buddy to have a trial separation , Buddy explains to Dave this gives him time to improve his behavior, he attacks Buddy when he finds out he is dating Linda.

Dave returns to the court where Buddy wants a restraining order against him for attempting to choke him while wearing a neck brace which turns out to be fake, Dave snaps at work when he finds out Andrew got his promotion from Frank, he punches Andrew in the face and wrecks Franks office with a golf club.

He then learns from Andrew that Buddy took Linda to a New York Yankees game , Dave assumes Buddy is trying to steal his marriage proposal idea , he races to the stadium, security captures him they let Dave speak , he announces publicly and to Linda that he is willing to change and Linda is moved you will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens next it is a good and happy ending !

 I decided to write about this movie because with the holidays coming, and thanksgiving and Christmas coming soon ,there’s a lot of fun shopping sprees and sales going on , and people can get pretty excited and sometimes may get a little crazy because they want that certain item in the store really bad. 

I just encourage you all to be careful while you’re shopping and be on high alert, and if you are feeling tense or upset sometimes try singing a song that would probably help you feel better or you get a cup of coffee or a nice sweet treat or try counting to ten. 

Personally It takes a lot for me to get upset, something really has to happen to make me mad , if I do get mad it’s only for a short amount of time, and then I move onto something else. Or I will sit with my dog Elijah , and play with him and cuddle him he gives me kisses and helps me to feel better.

 Or I text about it with my big sister or my mom or family members to let out whatever made me upset and then I feel better, or I listen to Anthony Evans his music helps me, or I listen to Jennifer Hudson or Kelly Clarkson or even Christmas Music. I put a clip about Madea talking with Dr. Phil and how she manages her anger. I added a couple of my favorite songs if you would like to listen. It’s ok to get upset , or get angry sometimes it’s better to let it out then hold it inside if you hold it in too long… it could make you feel badder than you already do.

My favorite scene in the movie is where Dave  and Buddy are singing in the car , while Dave is on his way to work. Dave gets so embarrassed about the singing , it’s such a funny scene I know it will make you laugh once you see it. 

Adam Sandler is absolutely amazing and he is also one of my favorite actors, love a lot of his movies and his work. 

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to have a good laugh.
