Very watchable.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 4, 2007

The final twist is misjudged, and it doesn't cohere at any level; but some funny moments.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 4, 2007

This is well worth investigating.

| May 4, 2007

Showy and door-slamming but very watchable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 4, 2007

A superior suburban chick flick.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 4, 2007

While beautifully cast and acted, this focuses on its comic strengths to the detriment of the drama, creating an unbalanced tone and leading to self-conscious attempts at serious observation. A pleasant watch, but nowhere near as profound as it thinks it

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 4, 2007

Compelling and honest with flashes of dark humour which makes this a meaty comedy drama.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 4, 2007

Allen's imperious turn and Costner's affable charm go a long way to ensuring you'll look back on Anger with affection.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 1, 2007

l, yet the movie's There's spiky humour and ample breathing room for the material, yet the movie's rather too intent on parading its own wisdom.

Binder wrote this movie for Joan Allen, and it is her flinty performance that gives the undertaking what claim it has to success.

Contrary to my expectations, Kevin Costner is growing old gracefully.

Even though Binder's characters are all gems, the filmmaker needs to further hone his storytelling craft.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 23, 2005

Mike Binder's femme-dominated domestic drama hooks the viewer immediately, and is flecked with enough bitterly comic touches to make this an easy-to-digest variation of an angst-ridden tale.

The actors tune in to their individual characters perfectly, but this is Allen's show.

Like a shot of adrenaline, it wakes up a moribund year at the Cineplex, putting the rest of the year's offerings on notice as only a truly great film worthy of remembrance come end-of-season awards time can.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 2, 2005

Standard-issue.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 25, 2005

What's best about Upside is its gonzo-sitcom craziness, a situation that lends itself to enjoyable performances.

| Mar 18, 2005

It feels like a retread of several better movies, with a nastier, more bitter edge.
