About Anger Management

Anger Management is a 2003 comedy film from Columbia Pictures and Revolution Studios starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson, directed by Peter Segal and written by David S Dorfman.

The movie starts out in 1978, where a young Dave Buznik sits on a street corner, looking at the girl of his dreams jumping rope. She comes over and wants to play truth or dare. He picks dare, and she says to kiss her. Right as he's about to, the school bully Arnie Shankman pulls down his pants, embarrassing him in front of everybody. In the present day, a grown up Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler) is about to get on a plane for a business meeting. He works for a cat clothing catalog. His girlfriend Linda (Marisa Tomei) comes with him. Right as he's about to leave she asks for a kiss. He says that people are looking and he doesn't like it when people observe him showing signs of affection. He gives her a handshake and gets on the plane.

On the plane, a person is in his assigned seat. Dave is invited to sit beside a person who introduces himself as Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson). Buddy seems very annoying and laughs out loud at a movie. Not wanting Dave to miss out, he asks for Dave to get a headset. Dave asks for one, but the flight attendant dismisses starts talking nonstop to another flight attendant. Dave asks her again, and she demands that he lower his voice, although he is quite calm. Eventually, they get into a loud argument that ends up with him being tasered by the flight's air marshal.
