Plot
The movie starts out in 1978, where a young Dave Buznik sits on a street corner, looking at the girl of his dreams jumping rope. She comes over and wants to play truth or dare. He picks dare, and she says to kiss her. Right as he's about to, the local school bully Arnie Shankman pulls down his pants, embarrassing him in front of everybody. In the present day, a grown up Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler) works at a cat catalog company, but he still has problems with standing up for himself, much to the concern of his girlfriend Linda (Marisa Tomei).
On the plane, a person is in his assigned seat. Dave is invited to sit beside a person who introduces himself as Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson). Buddy seems very annoying and laughs out loud at a movie. Not wanting Dave to miss out, he tells him to get a headset. Dave asks for one, but the flight attendant he asks just starts talking nonstop to another flight attendant, generally ignoring his request. Annoyed, Dave asks her again, tapping her on the arm, and she demands that he lower his voice and keep calm, although he is quite calm. The flight's air marshal soon enters the conversation and ends up tasering Dave due to miscontrued words that he interprets as being racist.
The next scene is in a court with Dave on trial. He is found guilty of an assault charge against the flight attendant, and the judge (Lynne Thigpen) declares that he pay $3500 and go for anger management sessions to prevent further outbursts. When Dave arrives at his first therapy date, he discovers his therapist is Buddy fromt the flight, but when he tries to talk his way out of the court order, Buddy explains he must go through one session first. During group therapy, he meets a diverse group of characters with assorted mental issues. He loses his temper more than once, although this is mainly due to Buddy's facetious attempts to get Dave to open up to the group. After the session, Buddy says that he wants to extend Dave's therapy because of the combative behavior he just showed. He begins by assigning him to an "Anger Ally", Chuck (John Turturro), an excitable Grenada invasion veteran with a penchant for violence and profanity. That night, they go to a bar, where Chuck picks a fight with two men; one of whom is blind and whom Chuck thinks is staring at him. The confrontation escalates into a huge brawl, and Dave is viciously attacked by the blind man with his cane. Attempting to wrestle it away to prevent anybody else being hurt, Dave accidentally strikes a cocktail waitress in the face.
