• Are you sick of this yet? You probably are…I almost am…
  I watched “The Upside of Anger” also…I know, I’m a nut…Here’s the thing–still don’t recommend it, but it’s good that I viewed it immediately following Junebug, because my opinion of it was much higher as a result. Mike warned me from the beginning that I wouldn’t like it, but because I watched Junebug right before this one, I liked it much more than if I hadn’t done so…all that to say: Junebug is a zero, and this one is a four on a scale of one-to-ten (ten being best). One thumb up from me (out of a possible two from me…).

  One quick lesson I learned: anger is never good. The leading lady was angry through the whole movie, and it repulsed me. It was yucky, and seeing that portrayed in the way that it was made me disgusted at myself when I get angry–and it seems that I get angry over stupid stuff….anyways, one redeeming value that I got out of it…anger is never good!! Especially a  perpetual attitude of anger and bitterness…
