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.

As Terry copes with her anger and frustration, she finds solace and companionship in her neighbor, Denny, a former professional baseball player turned radio DJ. Together, they form an unlikely friendship that leads to a complicated romantic relationship, filled with ups and downs.

Throughout the film, Terry's daughters, notably the oldest, Andy, and youngest, Popeye, grapple with their mother's emotional state and the changing dynamics within their family. As they witness Terry's struggles, they also grow and learn from her resilience and strength.

The Upside of Anger explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of family relationships. With its sharp wit and poignant moments, the film offers a realistic portrayal of the challenges faced by a modern family dealing with the unexpected and finding the courage to move forward.

Starring Joan Allen, Kevin Costner, and Evan Rachel Wood, this heartfelt dramedy is a must-watch for those seeking an emotional and thought-provoking story about love and redemption.
