DUELING CRITICS

"Without the ending, The Upside of Anger is a wonderfully made comedy of domestic manners. With it, the movie becomes larger and deeper. When life plays a joke on you, it can have a really rotten sense of humor"

- Roger Ebert

"The movie's premise is shaky, its story thin and its surprise-twist ending an utter catastrophe...[An] awkward, underwritten attempt to blend midlife romantic comedy with domestic melodrama almost works in spite of itself"

- A.O. Scott
