Anger Management
Programme Synopsis
After a misunderstanding aboard an airplane escalates out of control, mild-mannered Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler) is ordered to attend anger management sessions run by Dr. Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson). Buddy’s unorthodox approach to therapy is confrontational and abrasive, and Dave is bewildered by it. When yet another mishap results in Dave being ordered to step up his therapy or wind up in jail, Buddy moves in with him to help him battle his inner demons. Buddy himself has no inner demons since he acts out at every opportunity, including making lewd comments to Dave’s girlfriend, Linda (Maris Tomei). But Buddy finally goes too far and Dave must decide whether to crawl back into his shell or stand up for himself. Could it be that Buddy’s confounding and contradictory treatment is just what the doctor ordered?
