The Upside of Anger Release Date: February 28, 2005 Starring: Joan Allen, Erika Christensen, Alicia Witt, Evan Rachel Wood, Keri Russell Directed by: Mike Binder, Kevin Costner, Mike Binder
When her husband walks out, Terry Wolfmeyer (Joan Allen) is left alone to bring up their four daughters (Erika Christensen, Evan Rachel Wood, Keri Russell, and Alicia Witt). Enter her handsome if immature neighbor (Kevin Costner), a former baseball star who’s looking to shake his midlife slump. Mike Binder, of HBO’s short-lived The Mind of the Married Man, writes, directs, and costars.
The Bottom Line: Casting Costner as a retired ballplayer doesn’t bode well in terms of originality. (New Line)
