Sandler shares "Anger Management" with troops
by Staff Sgt. Marcia Triggs


WASHINGTON (Army News Service, April 24, 2003) -- Actor Adam Sandler is contributing to the war effort by giving free copies of his No. 1 ranked movie, "Anger Management," to all military installations.

The first copy is headed to Camp Doha, Kuwait, and will air during the week of April 20. Sony Pictures is currently duplicating tapes for other installations.

Service members stationed both abroad and the United States will have the chance to view the movie for free.

Sandler, who co-stars in the movie with Jack Nicholson, said he doesn't care about any lost revenue in giving the film to service members -- he just wants to do something for troops.

Before the film starts, Sandler gives a brief message saying thank you, and wishing service members a safe return home.

"Anger Management" was released April 11, and grossed $42,220,847 in its first week. Sandler has starred in the "Waterboy," "Billy Madison" and "Happy Gilmore."

In his latest role, Sandler plays Dave Buznik, a mild-mannered, non-confrontational guy. But after an altercation aboard an airplane, he is remanded to the care of an anger management therapist, Dr. Buddy Rydell, who is played by Jack Nicholson. However, it is Nicholson's character who could probably use some anger management lessons.
