Perilous product placement of potent potables pays off in The Upside of Anger. New Line Cinema’s genial, novelistic narrative, which opens Friday, features Kevin Costner as a retired ex-baseball star who insinuates himself into the family crisis of an acid-tongued, spouse-scorned Detroit suburbanite played by Joan Allen. They blend deliriously in a Days of Wine and Roses retro stew: They’re both intermittently loveable and sullen drunks. In the politically correct era, it’s comedy as refreshing as a wine spritzer.
