SYNOPSIS Terry Wolfmeyer (Allen) is a suburban wife and mother whose life takes an unusual turn when her husband unexpectedly disappears. 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 (Costner). A once-great baseball star turned radio DJ, Denny becomes a drinking buddy for Terry and slowly evolves into her source of strength, as well as an ad-hoc father to her daughters. However, things get complicated as Terry daughters grow accustomed to having Denny around while attempting to juggle not only their mother’s romantic dilemmas, but their own. Critics have embraced The Upside of Anger: “A fiercely funny human comedy that manages to be both humorous and haunting.” -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone “The Upside of Anger is one of the most absorbing, compelling family dramas since Terms of Endearment. The performances are remarkable, powerful at times, subdued at others. It is Kevin Costner's best film in years, and Joan Allen solidifies her position as one of our great actresses.” -Jeffrey Lyons, NBC-TV “An emotional reality check that is profound, articulate, witty and shattering. Joan Allen is magnificent as always. This is a Kevin Costner you have never seen before in the performance of his life.” -Rex Reed, The New York Observer “The Upside of Anger is a wonderful movie. You'll laugh; you'll cry.” -Larry King DVD SPECIAL FEATURES* · Commentary with director Mike Binder, Joan Allen and moderated by filmmaker Rod Lurie · Creating the Upside of Anger Documentary · Deleted Scenes including commentary with director Mike Binder · Theatrical trailer · 16x9 (2.35:1) version of the film -more- · 5.1 Dolby Digital (English) · DTS – English · 2.0 Stereo Surround (English) · English and Spanish subtitles · Closed captions (English) · Script-to-Screen ROM content *DVD special features subject to change. |
