Scene from 'underrated' Adam Sandler movie has people saying it predicted 'today's reality'

Adam Sandler fans say the scene in question has 'aged like a fine wine'

Arguably some movies from the 00s haven't dated very well, but the same can't be said for this Adam Sandler favorite.

No matter how old a film is, they often resurface at some point - typically with the help of social media.

And one scene from Get Him To The Greek featuring P Diddy was doing the rounds of late in the wake of the rapper facing a handful of lawsuits.

In the part of the movie in question, Diddy's character, Sergio, gives Aaron [Jonah Hill] a pep talk and says, 'I'm mind-f**king you right now' and asks him if he can 'feel my d*ck f**king your mind'.

"This didn't age well for Diddy in 2024," one person said online in the wake of it resurfacing.

While the Get Him To The Greek moment doesn't look so great 14 years on from its release, Adam Sandler's Anger Management is still being labelled as extremely relatable.

Released in 2003, the movie's synopsis reads: "Dave Buznik [Sandler] is a businessman who is wrongly sentenced to an anger management program, where he meets an aggressive instructor [Jack Nicholson]."

The scene that people have been relating to recently is the moment Buznik finds himself in a spot of bother while on a plane.

Asking a flight attendant for a headset, she insist that he doesn't raise his voice at her (which he doesn't).

A sky marshal then comes over to see what all the trouble is about, when Sandler finds himself in yet more trouble.

One person has since penned on X: "This is basically life in 2024."

"Its funny how satire back then, is todays reality," mused another.

"This scene has aged like a fine whine. Sorry for the pun," a third continued.

Someone else went on: "It's funny because it's true." Meanwhile, someone else hailed the scene as being 'so on point'.

Others on Reddit labelled Anger Management as Sandler's most underrated film.

But the same can't be said for the movie's Rotten Tomatoes score as it only boasts 42 percent on the Tomatometer.

It does have a more optimistic 56 percent Audience Score, however.

"I know it's a movie and we need to suspend our disbelief, but the overall premise just gets more and more ridiculous," wrote one critic.

"Some funny parts, mostly not great," read another short review.

But others felt very differently.

Agreeing with those on Reddit, someone said: "Absolutely hilarious from start to finish. Severely underrated!"

Another hailed Anger Management as 'one of my favorite comedies'.

Anger Management is available to stream on Hoopla.
