DVD: The Upside of Anger
Terry Wolfmeyer (Joan Allen) is a suburban wife and mother whose life takes an unusual turn when her husband unexpectedly disappears. Struggling to deal with his sudden absence, Terry finds herself increasingly at odds with her four headstrong daughters and regularly drowning her anger in alcohol, until she develops an offbeat relationship with her next-door neighbor, Denny (Kevin Costner). A once-great baseball star turned radio DJ, Denny becomes a drinking buddy for Terry and slowly evolves into her source of strength, as well as an ad-hoc father to her daughters. However, things get complicated as Terry daughters (played by Erika Christensen, Evan Rachel Wood, Keri Russell, and Alicia Witt) grow accustomed to having Denny around while attempting to juggle not only their mother's romantic dilemmas, but their own.
