		Before "The Upside of Anger", this had never happened to me. I caught both the 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM showings of this film for one reason -- it was amazing.
		"The Upside of Anger" is kind of like his comeback picture, with Binder acting as both writer and director, along with featured actor -- he plays the lowlife of the picture.

		If Allen owns The Upside of Anger, she is generous enough to loan it to Costner, who, despite the dim, glazed eyes, is more alive here than he's been in years.
		The Upside of Anger is overly therapized, yet Costner and Allen show you what it means not just to play a role but to inhabit it.
		The primary upside to The Upside of Anger is the presence of Joan Allen in the lead role.

	Film Review - The Upside of Anger
		If Upside of Anger were as well directed and technically mounted as it is splendidly acted, it would have been a much better picture.
		Upside of Anger represents a departure from Binder's previous work, which includes light-hearted looks at love and relationships in the comedy The Sex Monster, and the HBO series The Mind of the Married Man. In Upside of Anger, Binder explores a new territory from a unique angle.
		Addressing the impact of anger on older and younger characters, from both a male and female perspective, Upside of Anger also examines the effects of hidden and repressed emotions on each individual member and the family as a whole.

	Upside of Anger, The - Scathing Reviews for Bitchy People
		In a NYC movie theater, I was out of my element, which is probably part of why I liked The Upside of Anger as much as I did; I was too intimidated by my surroundings not to give in to this enormously watchable, sometimes brilliant, psychodrama.
		The Upside of Anger is set in late 2001, in the upper-middle class suburbs of Detroit, where strong-willed, responsible suburban wife Terry Wolfmeyer (Joan Allen) has just learned that her husband has left her without so much as a Dear John (Jane?) letter.
		Denny—while trying to deal with Terry’s romantic temper tantrums— also gets himself involved in the melodramas of her four daughters, each of whom are fleshed out as well as any in an ensemble this large.

	THE UPSIDE OF ANGER - The Movie Mystic with Stephen Simon
		THE UPSIDE OF ANGER jumps off the screen into our hearts as a powerful whirlwind of emotions with fascinating, provocative questions about family and the elusive emotion of anger with which most of us seem to flirt on a daily basis.
		Anger is indeed a powerful force that can literally sweep us up in its fiery grip and deposit us into a world where everyone around us reflects our own anger back to and at us.
		THE UPSIDE OF ANGER is a classic film in Spiritual Cinema in that it truly asks the eternal questions of who we are and why we are here and also leaves us feeling better about being human beings when the film is finished.

	TheMovieBoy Review - The Upside of Anger (2005)
		"The Upside of Anger" is a dramedy light on plot, heavy on individual events, and leading toward a surprise revelation that is kind of neat from a conceptual viewpoint, but also exposes a number of small flaws in the screenplay.
		Terry drinks to dull the pain and anger in her heart—Denny does the same thing, which makes for a bonding bridge between the two—but she finally gets to a point where she has nothing left to dull, forcing her to look inward and recognize a clear head might do her some good.
		In this respect, "The Upside of Anger" is thoughtful and rather shrewd to the way life really is. At the same time, because there are few major happenings in the plot beyond the superficial, the movie has a periodically bland, freestyle feel to it.

	The Upside of Anger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Terry’s youngest daughter, who they call "Popeye", describes anger’s affect on her mother, as turning the "kind, sweet mother we knew, into a sad, resentful person." Anger also seeks to strike back, and when the cause of the anger is unavailable, anyone will do.
		In her anger and resentment, she forgets that her daughters have also lost a father and are hurting too.
		As Popeye explains, "anger changes you, but it’s how you come through those changes that matters." You can come out with a better sense of how to live, love and cherish the time you are given, and perhaps even a better capacity to forgive.

	Movie Review - Upside of Anger
		The Upside of Anger centers around Terry Wolfmeyer, a mature, confident, mother of four whose husband has just gone AWOL (supposedly to start a new life with his Swedish secretary.) Faced with the prospect of him never returning, Terry is thrown into a deep state of denial, depression, and you guessed it: anger.
		Terry and Denny form a mutually exclusive club of anger and self loathing that comforts them both (though no else around them, to be sure) in a time when they both need it the most.
		Written and directed by Mike Binder (The Mind of a Married Man, Minority Report), The Upside of Anger is a surprisingly mature work that is funny, sad, poignant, and dramatic all at the same time.

		Many of the comic moments in the film are in the broad and silly vein of a second-rate sitcom, with gags centering largely on drunkenness that wear thin pretty fast.
		The Upside of Anger does have its entertaining moments, usually centered on Allen, whose edgy comic ability is well established with this role.
		She also adds nuance and shading to her anger and sense of betrayal, sometimes coming off bull-headed, self-absorbed or sheepish but always authentic.

		For those viewers on the far side of forty, THE UPSIDE OF ANGER should prove to be an enormously engaging movie experience about relationships and inner salvation.
		If real upside of `Upside of Anger' should be named, it is the presence of Joan Allen, who can grab your attention simply by sitting at a dinner table as Terry Ann Wolfmeyer, angry wife who has taken to drinking after her husband left her house.
		Perhaps these footages suggest another nature of anger, `downside' of it, but I don't think the anger of a deserted wife, understandable as it is, could be equated to that of the people living in strife-torn countries.

		However, the themes that Binder espouses are intriguing in that he explores the unremitting torrent of anger one woman feels toward life when she discovers one day that her husband is gone.
		It is another baseball player role, but he infuses such humor, resignation and naked emotion into his gone-to-seed character, now a perpetually stoned disc jockey who patiently waits for Terry to see the "upside of anger", that sense of calm one feels in the end after all of the rage has been released.
		The Upside of Anger features Kevin Costner, as former baseball player or that is what we are supposed to assume.

		PARK CITY, Utah — One night while filming "The Upside of Anger" in London, director Mike Binder made a confession as he walked Keri Russell home after a late dinner.
		"The Upside of Anger" is an ensemble drama, but Allen is clearly the centerpiece as a bitter mother trapped in a midlife crisis who unexpectedly falls for her stoner ex-baseball-star neighbor, played by Kevin Costner (yes, his third time as a baseball player).
		Interestingly enough, Allen not only attracted her co-stars to "The Upside of Anger," she inspired Binder to write it.

	"The Upside of Anger" Movie Review by Kevin Carr - 7M Pictures
		“The Upside of Anger” is a film written and directed by Mike Binder, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
		Instead of dealing with this like an adult, her character sucks down every drop of booze in a ten mile radius and, frothing with anger, she alienates her four daughters.
		I’d suggest a better title would be “The Upside of Alcoholism,” but I really can’t think of any upside to this film.

		She does a slow burn, she smolders, she almost immolates with fury (the veins in her neck visibly strain against her skin), but she can't make the rest of the movie catch fire in the same way.
		"The Upside of Anger" opens with three mourners on their way to a funeral, which makes the moviegoers wonder throughout just who died.
		Binder, whose own parents separated when he was a child, conceived this story as a parable on misplaced anger, which is a most intriguing concept.

	The Upside of Anger movie review, In Film Australia
		Writer/director Rod Lurie specifically penned the terrific political thriller The Contender (2000) with her in mind and it was actually on the set of this Oscar nominated flick that co-star Mike Binder decided to tackle writing a comic drama as a vehicle for her talents.
		Hence The Upside of Anger is a modest but sharply written independent pic showcasing Joan Allen as a bitter, cynical and acid-tongued matriarch who, after the sudden disappearance of her long time husband, hits the bottle and sets about alienating all and sundry.
		There is a nice twist in the narrative near the end of this diverting little flick and although this quality drama has garnered rave reviews and will no doubt be embraced by the “mature set” it’s hard for one to sympathise with these angst ridden characters who are all just too stylish, wealthy and attractive.

	THE UPSIDE OF ANGER
		Struggling to deal with his sudden absence, Terry finds herself increasingly at odds with her four headstrong daughters and regularly drowning her anger in alcohol, until she develops an offbeat relationship with her next-door neighbor, Denny.
		The answer renders all their pain worthless and unneccessary, forcing the ending into an unsatifactory conclusion.
		That being said, UPSIDE is a multi-faceted, intense, poignant family drama that's not easy to forget.

		The fighting between the girls and their angry mother is portrayed in the lightest possible terms.
		THE UPSIDE OF ANGER is saved by excellent performances from Allen and Costner.

		Joan Allen harnesses her often cold screen presence to great effect in much of The Upside of Anger.
		With this very game cast, The Upside of Anger could have aimed to be a sardonic Scenes From a Marriage, but Binder is content to settle for something more along the lines of Inside the Mind of the Bitter Married Woman.
		The "upside" to the anger is that the characters all grow through the experience and still maintain their diginity and their sense of humour.

	The Upside of Anger \| dvd : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As a desperate housewife whose husband has supposedly skipped town with his secretary, Joan Allen finds comfort in booze, the bed of her lost-soul neighbor (Kevin Costner), and countless fights with her four distant daughters (Erika Christensen, Keri Russell, Alicia Witt, Evan Rachel Wood).
		That her performance in The Upside of Anger is flawless comes as no surprise.
		The making-of spells out the familiar moral — letting anger consume you is a waste of time — but also expounds on the exploding-head-at-the-dinner-table scene.
