Anger Management is a 2003 comedy film starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson which was directed by Peter Segal and written by David S Dorfman.

Mild mannered Dave Buznik (Sandler) is a hardworking businessman for a pet clothing company in Manhattan. He is number two to his boss, who constantly takes credit for his work and steps on Dave in return. Things aren't any better on the homefront when a condescending suitor constantly overshadows Dave's loving girlfriend (Tomei) which doesn't help since he's her former flame. While on a business trip, a misunderstanding blows wildly out of proportion, and a judge wrongly sentences Dave to an anger management course. The course is run by Dr. Buddy Rydell (Nicholson) who seems mentally unstable due to his overaggressive techniques. The doctor's unconventional approach to therapy frightens Dave but it might also be the only thing to save Dave from himself, and Buddy might be the only one who can help his young patient, since he recognizes an alarming problem in Dave that could get worse.

Goosfraba is a catchphrase from the film.
