Review:
Jack
Nicholson is a genius. He's brilliant in almost everything he does
and this is proof. Yeah, Adam Sandler can deliver when he really
has to [and he isn't actually bad here], but Jack shines here like
he rarely does, ever. He rises so far above his material that it's
scary. Sure, he won't get an Oscar here, but he deserves one.
The skinny: Dave Buznick(Sandler) gets on an airplane to
discover someone's taken his seat. Acting calm and serene, he's
attacked by the attendant staff, and is sentenced by a judge (Lynn
Thigpen) to attend Buddy Rydell's (Nicolson) anger treatment
program.
Buddy then succeeds in destroying Dave's life.
Cute huh?
Marrissa Tomei is okay as Dave's girlfriend, but this is
Nicholson's film and his alone. Sandler can't hold a candle to
him. The script is rather rank. Jokes work, and by the end it
delivers, but the fact is that the winces outnumber the laughs two
to one during the first part of the film. I'm not really sure if
this is worth viewing, but if you want to actually see great
acting, that's when an actor towers over everything and everyone.
See this.
