Review: The Upside of Anger
Really small movie, but with a pretty big cast. Basically following a family (4 daughters) headed by mom (Joan Allen) after the father left the family. What follows is mostly safe storytelling, with nothing really out of the ordinary (usually the family bickering about the things we all bicker about). Several guy characters (Kevin Costner) put a romantic spin to this (really) soft drama (or even softer comedy), but it’s still Joan Allen’s character that always hovers around, captivating your attention. In the end, you’ll have smiled and frowned a few times, and while it’s not groundbreaking, it’s slightly enjoyable.7-.
