The Upside of Anger

Grade: C

Premise: Woman goes on an alcoholic/anger binge after her husband leaves her. Kevin Costner helps. Her four daughters just try to stay out of the way

Recommend?: Yes, with reservations. I got to the end of this movie wondering if I hated it or liked it. I didn't really know what to expect out of it. Wasn't one of my favorites but if you really wanted to see it - I would recommend it. Kevin Costner plays a character unlike any I've ever seen him play. Joan Allen was really good. Really HEAVY on the drama - even though the music they played was lighthearted...didn't seem to go.
