The Upside of Anger is a 2005 comedy-drama film that tells the story of Terry, a suburban wife and mother whose life takes an unexpected turn when her husband mysteriously disappears. Left to raise her four daughters on her own, Terry must navigate not only her own emotional turmoil but also the challenges that come with being a single parent.
