Too light, not enough depth (of course, I don't want to be too harsh on comedies)

Recently, I like to watch psychology movies, and it is recommended to watch them. The whole movie has a good idea and tone - "Dave, you are the kind of person who is usually taciturn and may suddenly pick up a gun and blow someone else's bullet". But there may be a reason why the film is a comedy, and there is little discussion about the definition of anger and how to manage it (I jumped to watch it, or maybe I was not sensitive enough to find the implicit expression).

The whole film is more than easy (personal reason for laughing? I think it is spoof and nonsense, but it is not funny), and it lacks aesthetic value.

The general feeling is that a good proposition has been chosen and then a package of things has been illogically stitched together. (I also saw the comment of the movie friend's "three-stage therapy", which makes sense, but I personally feel that the film does not express the theme of therapy so well)

It may also be that I am suitable for serious dramas and serious movies (I still find it quite funny to watch Thai 囧). I hope that there are movie friends who have a deep understanding of this movie.

Anger Management quotes

  • [fleeing the monastery]

    Dr. Buddy Rydell: You kicked some serious monk-ass there, baby!

  • Lou: So my boss, he was talking to me about how many sick days I've taken. And I was like, you know 'Don't go there,' you know. But he kept on about wanting to see some kind of a doctor's note or something. And I said 'Look, I'm seriously serious. You *don't* want to go there. He kept talking and talking and being such a nag, and I just *blacked out.* I blacked out. And I woke up, and I was standing over him and I was screaming "I told you not to go there! I told you not to go there!"
