 Overworked and undervalued Dave Buznik is a businessman
whose life practically seems stuck in second gear.
 He's got a boss who just as well step on him, as acknowledge the
fact that Dave does all the work but the boss gets the credit.
 He's got a pacifist nature that always gets the best of him, causing
him to avoid conflict whenever possible. But it only seems to get
worse for Dave when he can't take action and lets everything just
Synopsis sit.
 However, when a misunderstanding aboard an airplane lands
Dave in court, the only way out is through the therapy of Dr.
Buddy Rydell, a psychiatrist and anger management expert. While
the unconventional Buddy seems harmful and psychotic, he might
just be Dave's only solution to a problem that seriously needs to
be addressed.
 Dave has a behavioral problem; otherwise, his girlfriend Linda would
not be interested to contact Dr. Rydell.
 His behavior was affected by the humiliation he had during his
childhood years. He grew up wanting to please others so as not able
to laugh at him again.
 He is kind of seeking approval from other people, that’s why even
though he knows he’s right and others are stepping on him, he does
not fight back. He is angry but he doesn’t show it.
Movie Analysis  It is good that the film also highlights some of Dave’s gestures as
symptoms that he is angry.
 His relationship with Dr. Rydell is wacky but at the end, the result is
successful. He was able to graduate from Dr Rydell’s anger
management program.
 In this film, the entire therapeutic process was enveloped in a
conspiracy. Anyway, a bit of exaggeration creates artistry and every
film is craft of art.
 In general, Dr. Rydell is still an effective therapist
because he was able to fix the behavioral problem of
Dave. His out of the box therapy session appears to be
admirable
 Dr Rydell’s technique is more of the client centered
Movie Analysis approach. Because in the movie, it was Dave who
realized that he was an angry man and it was wrong that
people treats him that way means having fun.
 His girlfriend is highly focused and concerned about the
mental well being of Dave and wants him to address the
issue in spite of his pacifist attitude.
 People who have anger problems don’t necessarily
recognize it in themselves. They’re often surprised and
shocked when someone confronts them with it.
 In the past, many companies conspired with employees to
look the other way. But in a security-conscious world, this no
solution is a nonstarter, so more companies are looking for
ways to help employees get their anger under control.
