Anger Management (2003) 7/10

Starring : Adam Sandler, Jack Nicholson, Marisa Tomei
Director : Peter Segal
Running Time : 106 mins

Following an incident on a plane, Dave Buznik (Sadler) is forced to go to anger management classes. As part of the class, anger management teacher Doctor Buddy Rydell (Nicholson) moves in with him in an attempt to cure him of his angry ways. The problem is, Dave isn’t an angry person, in fact he’s let people walk all over him his entire life, and the therapy is actually having the reverse affect to that of its intentions.

This was, in hindsight, an enjoyable film. A lot of the concepts felt wrong while I was watching it, but once it reached it's conclusion things made a little more sense. It's a real case of role reversal with the actors, however, as Sandler is sympathetic whilst Nicholson is very annoying.
