    • Quotes

      Dr. Buddy Rydell: Let me explain something to you, Dave. There are two kinds of angry people in this world: explosive and implosive. Explosive is the kind of individual you see screaming at the cashier for not taking their coupons. Implosive is the cashier who remains quiet day after day and finally shoots everyone in the store. You're the cashier.

      Dave Buznik: No, no, no. I'm the guy hiding in the frozen food section dialling 911. I swear.

    • Crazy credits
      Our thoughts and prayers go out to LYNNE THIGPEN and her family. She was a great actress and a great lady.
    • Alternate versions
      In the TV version, Chuck's line "Oh, sorry. That's a letter I'm writing to Geraldo Rivera" is changed to "Oh, sorry. That's a letter I'm writing to my father."

    Check your Anger on the way out

    Let me start off by saying that I am not a big Adam Sandler fan. But this movie was hilarious. Nicholson and Sandler work very well together.

    John Turturro as usual plays his part well as Chuck.

    Marisa Tomei part is good but as a Tomei fan it is not enough

    How every Jack Nicholson is his usual psycho funny self in this movie. Pushing the envelope so far with Sandlers character Dave Buznik.

    1 hour and 41 minutes passed like the wind.

    And please keep watch Woody Harrelson like you have never seen him before. Try not to give too much away here with that one. But somewhere in this movie you will see what I mean

    Hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did
