The Upside of Anger

Family comedy-drama starring Joan Allen as Terry Wolfmeyer, an affluent and sharp-witted suburban Detroit wife and mother who goes from a paragon of sweetness to a volcano of rage in the wake of her husband's desertion; he has apparently jetted off to Sweden with his Swedish secretary.

Barely holding it together for her four daughters, Terry fitfully adjusts to his absence, while trying to avoid romantic involvement with her neighbour Denny Davies (Kevin Costner), a retired baseball player and radio personality who shares her love of the all-day cocktail hour.
