It was a solid box office hit, but middling reviews (42% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 6.2 out of 10 from audiences held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

After a small misunderstanding aboard an airplane escalates out of control, timid businessman Dave Buznik is ordered by the court to undergo anger management therapy at the hands of specialist Dr. Buddy Rydell. But when Buddy steps up his aggressive treatment by moving in, Dave goes from mild to wild as the unorthodox treatment wreaks havoc with his life.
