Allen and Costner Are Upside's Upsidenew
This movie belongs to Joan Allen, who plays Terry Wolfmeyer, a wife abandoned by her husband and left to pick up the pieces and collect them in a giant bottle of vodka. Terry's is the cold, composed visage of a woman struggling to keep it together.

Joan Allen Chews Everybody Out in The Upside of Angernew
Director Mike Binder shows little insight into the mind of Terry, whose husband abandons her. Terry's daughters never develop past the simplest possible characterizations, and the film can't decide whether to make Terry a villain, a victim or a feminist heroine.
