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.

I love Joan Allen and always have since Manhunter in the 1980s. This movie with Kevin who I think is one of the best actors ever make a great combination in this movie about a woman who does not know what happen to her husband. A great story and well done movie. March 26, 2008

Hubby runs off with his wallet, leaving Mom and four daughters, and I'm not known for my love of soapies or of Kevin Costner. But this is a surpringly watchable movie. Humor, cruelty, and cruel humor in its sharp, witty dialogue keep it moving. Warm, too, and not always as predictable as a typical review might make it seem. At times, it tries to be more than it is, such as when waxing philosophical about "the upside of anger," but generally it's just a strikingly realistic portrayal of some less than perfect characters and how they interact. Dark comedy is my favorite kind, and it's pretty obvious everyone involved in this project gave it their best. March 1, 2008

rating: 3 QuoteWeird ending.Quote
The Upside of Anger starring Joan Allen and Kevin Costner seemed like an interesting and funny film but this is one of the strangest films of 2005. The ending is completely ridiculous and comes from nowhere, Allen's character is so unlikable, I can't believe how narrissitic she comes off. Keri Russell and Evan Rachel Wood are the only two characters that have some depth and Costner isn't too bad as others have stated. This film starts off promising but ends up drowning in its own stupidity. Stay away from this absurd turkey. February 15, 2008
