I rewatched this recently and I have to say, I wish people gave this movie more credit.
Besides the fact I find it generally funny, (although comedy can be so subjective) what is really brilliant about it is noticing all the details. As I watched it a second time, I noticed all the little things Buddy does explicitly to troll the hell out of Dave. It's brilliant. It's also just generally a nice little movie about the positives and the negatives of anger. Yes, it's bad to have too much anger, but suppressing anger too much is almost as bad. We have to have things in balance. When you can truly control your anger and use it as fuel to drive good action, then you really have something.
