Anger Management
2003
**
Director: Peter Segal
Cast: Adam Sandler, Jack Nicholson, Marisa Tomei, John Turturro, Luis Guzman

Adam Sandler plays a doormat who has been bottling anger for most of his life. A misunderstanding leads him to take court-ordered anger management classes with an eccentric therapist (played by Jack Nicholson as only he can) whose hands-on approach starts to affect his entire life. The two male leads have decent chemistry but the jokes don't fly. Eventually it gets so tiresome that you're not even bothered by the shaggy dog ending.
