l, yet the movie's There's spiky humour and ample breathing room for the material, yet the movie's rather too intent on parading its own wisdom.
Binder wrote this movie for Joan Allen, and it is her flinty performance that gives the undertaking what claim it has to success.
Mike Binder's femme-dominated domestic drama hooks the viewer immediately, and is flecked with enough bitterly comic touches to make this an easy-to-digest variation of an angst-ridden tale.
The actors tune in to their individual characters perfectly, but this is Allen's show.
Standard-issue.
What's best about Upside is its gonzo-sitcom craziness, a situation that lends itself to enjoyable performances.
Audience Reviews for The Upside of Anger
I really quite liked ths movie, it was a beautiful storyline and brilliantly acted as well! Its funny, dramatic sad and a powerful drama that really is inspiring as well! the story is about a wife who comes to believe her husband has betrayed her and left her for his receptionist so she comes so engrossed in her feelings of anger and betrayal that she ignores the fact she has a responsibility as a mother, this story is mainly about finding yourself and becoming a new person and that there is an upside to anger! A really good movie really wroth a watch Joan Allen is fantastic in this role!

Whoa, SO not what I was expecting but surprisingly funny and touching at the strangest parts! Joan Allen is certainly a marvel, and the rest of the female supporting cast is pretty wonderful too. The ending was...very cathartic.

Joan Allen is rock-awesome and ending is totally boss...BUT everything preceding it kinda sucked ass. Script is full of what Binder thought was clever at the time but really isn't in practice. The daughters have one identifying trait each and nothing beyond that. Also, the three eldest all look the same age. Keri Russell is delightful but casting-wise, she should have been the eldest. The only well-written character is Terry but even then, I saw no trace of "the nicest person" Popeye spoke of. She had to have the potential to become mad and drunk. And since I haven't seen "Thirteen" yet, I'm still not convinced ERW is that great of an actress.
