Terry Wolfmeyer (Joan Allen) mistænker sin mand for at bedrage hende, og mistanken styrkes, da han pludselig forsvinder og efterlader hende alene med fire halvvoksne døtre. Tæt på et totalt nervesammenbrud reddes hun på stregen af sin nabo, en radioreporter og tidligere baseball-stjerne (Kevin Costner), hvis største problem i livet er, om han skal starte dagen med en Budweiser eller en Coors (amerikansk såkaldt "øl"). Snart får han også smag for Terry.
The sight of two lost souls finding something unavoidably necessary in each other carries The Upside of Anger through it pleasant episodic drift. When Terry Wolfmeyer (Joan Allen) realizes that her husband won't be coming home again, she hits the skids and the bottle, leaving her four thunderstruck daughters (Alicia Witt, Keri Russell, Erika Christensen, and Evan Rachel Wood) to fend for themselves while she fends off the attentions of concerned neighbor Denny Davies (Kevin Costner). Writer/director Mike Binder (who has a good bit as Costner's sleazy producer) juggles too many subplots in this comedy/drama--his charming young actresses are all but wasted--then tosses in a wrongheaded climactic twist and terrible explanatory narration from young Wood. But the two leads do career-best turns: If you've given up hope on Costner, you'll be surprised by his shaggy dog appeal as a perpetually soused radio show host/faded ex-baseball star, while Allen's boozy, brittle performance is so remarkable that even her comic drunkenness is nuanced. --Steve Wiecking |
