Product Description:
AFTER BEING ABANDONED BY HER HUSBAND, A WOMAN FINDS HER LIFE CHANGED WHEN A ONCE-GREAT BASEBALL PLAYER STEPS IN AS HER DRINKING BUDDY & BECOMES AN AD-HOC MEMBER OF THE DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY.
Amazon.com:
The sight of two lost souls finding something unavoidably necessary in each other carries The Upside of Anger through it pleasant episodic drift. When Terry Wolfmeyer (Joan Allen) realizes that her husband won't be coming home again, she hits the skids and the bottle, leaving her four thunderstruck daughters (Alicia Witt, Keri Russell, Erika Christensen, and Evan Rachel Wood) to fend for themselves while she fends off the attentions of concerned neighbor Denny Davies (Kevin Costner). Writer/director Mike Binder (who has a good bit as Costner's sleazy producer) juggles too many subplots in this comedy/drama--his charming young actresses are all but wasted--then tosses in a wrongheaded climactic twist and terrible explanatory narration from young Wood. But the two leads do career-best turns: If you've given up hope on Costner, you'll be surprised by his shaggy dog appeal as a perpetually soused radio show host/faded ex-baseball star, while Allen's boozy, brittle performance is so remarkable that even her comic drunkenness is nuanced. --Steve Wiecking

Apparently, I liked this more than most. Joan Allen and Kevin Costner were so in touch with the material that the 4 young starlets as her daughters were a little left out of the picture. Still, Ms. Allen was amazing in a complex characterization that left me exhausted. The hurt, confusion and anger were well displayed. Costner won a few awards for his performance, a presence that was at once cute and clever, as well as deeply concerned. Writer/director Mike Binder also filled the role of Costner's ... Read More

I must admit, I first watched the movie because Kevin Costner starred in it. I'm a big fan, I love his acting style and he's extremely easy on the eyes ;) This movie definitely didn't disappoint! Joan Allen was a perfect fit for the character she portrayed. The movie had elements of dry humor, and that's exactly my cup of tea. Even though seemingly both of the main actors were cast in roles that they had both done before (Kevin Costner being a former sports star, and Joan Allen a housewife), the ... Read More

Great funny and eye opening movie about the trials of life and how we "lose our minds" just a bit in tough situations!How absurd we must look to others!

The screenplay is poor. The characters do not act like real people, especially the Joan Allen character. This character does not know how to file a missing persons report, does not know what ballet is, does not work, has her daughters cook the dinner, and does nothing all day but take showers, drink, hop in and out of bed, and be mentally and physically abusive of family and friends. I could feel nothing for this character. The movie is a comedy in the sense that you will repeatedly
laugh because ... Read More

This movie was horrible. My sister rented it, and, bless her heart, she had faith that at some point it would have some highlights. There were no highlights, save one brief moment in a fantasy scene where a character's head blows up. It would have been a better movie if all the character's heads blew up.
When people crawl into a bottle because things get tough, it's not cute or funny. This film might have a place at AA meetings to illustrate how ugly alcoholism is.
