In the scene where Buddy (Jack Nicholson) throws the eggs away and yells "I said over easy!", he is wearing a United States Marine Corps T-shirt. Nicholson famously played Colonel Nathan R. Jessup, USMC in A Few Good Men (1992).

Dr. Buddy Rydell: I'm a pretty good guy and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much fun we can have together.

Thank god for Nicholson

What is the funniest thing about this comedy? Adam Sandler? Hardly. The best thing about this movie is Jack Nicholson. he's the sole reason this movie is funny.

So, Dave (Sandler) is this geeky guy, who has never lost his temper in his life, who by fault of an mistake in an airplane is ordered by a judge to see a anger consultant Buddy Rydel (Nicholosn), whose unorthodox anger management methods soon drive this mosey man crazy. And then there's Dave's personal problems with his girlfriend Linda (Marisa Tomei).

As for comedy Anger Managment flows pretty nicely and the jokes are mostly in their correct places and it has very few awkward moments, which seldom plague comedies of this particular genre.

Can't actually think of anything extremely negative to say about it, I'm very pleasantly surprised by the flick, it gave me good laughs and it will probably last multiple viewings, thanks to Nicholson, who really keeps this movie above the gray mass of comedy sea.
