Staying busy keeps Erika Christensen out of the news
Staying busy keeps Erika Christensen out of the news: "Most of us noticed Seattle-born actress Erika Christensen when she played the crack-addicted daughter of the White House drug czar in 'Traffic' five years ago. And she's been very busy ever since -- from playing a psycho girl obsessed with the swim team hottie in 'Swimfan' to Susan Sarandon's bewildered daughter in 'The Banger Sisters.'

Her latest role is that of Andy Wolfmeyer, one of Joan Allen's four daughters who must cope with their mother's alcoholism in the wake of their father's sudden departure in 'The Upside of Anger.' The 22-year-old actress took a few minutes to chat with us about anger, drugs and faking orgasms."

Erika Christensen on "The Upside of Anger"
U-Redlands Daily Facts - FILM: "'The Upside of Anger' can be pretty good fun.

At least according to three of the young actresses who played daughters to Joan Allen's furious abandoned homemaker, Terry Wolfmeyer, in the movie.

For Erika Christensen, Keri Russell and Evan Rachel Wood, bonding on the bitter comedy's British location was like finding a new set of sisters - and without all of that combative stuff that goes on between real-life siblings.

'I have three brothers, so the fact that it was a low-maintenance group of girls was good,' says 22-year-old Christensen ('Traffic,' 'Swimfan'), whose headstrong Andy Wolfmeyer makes her mother wish the girl's age-inappropriate boyfriend's head would explode. 'On something like this, you just understand from the beginning that you have to get close."

Review: The Upside of Anger, starring Erika Christensen
FilmForce: The Upside of Anger
"Joan Allen is Terry Wolfmeyer, the mother of four teenage daughters. If that in and of itself isn't equally a blessing and a burden, what tips the scales toward burden is the fact that her husband has left the country, gone to Sweden with his Swedish secretary. So Terry's pretty pissed of. She tries to bottle it in, but the intensity of it all makes her sensitive to even the slightest change in emotion. Controlled as she may seem, inside she's volatile. Now add to this the fact that her daughter's futures are going in four different directions.

Hadley (Alicia Witt), the eldest, is about to graduate from College marry a fella her mom barely knows; Andy (Erika Christensen) announces she doesn't want to go to college, she wants to become a radio producer; Emily (Keri Russell) is so bent on receiving the approval of her Mom that it becomes a dire issue; and "Popeye" (Evan Rachel Wood) is keen on studying film, all the while very concerned about how to get a boy she likes to notice her - perhaps she should make the first move? And these wants and needs, of course, take second place to what Terry is experiencing, because all she wants to do is hold her life together."

Erika Christensen Interview from The Upside of Anger
Upside of Anger Movie-Erika Christensen Interview from The Upside of Anger: "Erika Christensen, Evan Rachel Wood, Keri Russell, and Alicia Witt play sisters in 'The Upside of Anger,' written and directed by Mike Binder. Binder also plays a role in the film, starring alongside screen veterans Kevin Costner and Joan Allen.

'The Upside of Anger' is a very personal film for Mike Binder. Binder's experience of being raised by divorced parents inspired him to write about how a family copes with anger and other strong emotions. 'The Upside of Anger' follows Terry Wolfmeyer, a wife and mother whose husband suddenly disappears. Left to care for her four strong-willed daughters, Terry finds a companion in her next door neighbor, an ex-baseball player turned radio DJ (Costner)."

The Upside of Anger, with Erika Christensen
Premiere Magazine
"When her husband walks out, Terry Wolfmeyer (Joan Allen) is left alone to bring up their four daughters (Erika Christensen, Evan Rachel Wood, Keri Russell, and Alicia Witt). Enter her handsome if immature neighbor (Kevin Costner), a former baseball star who's looking to shake his midlife slump. Mike Binder, of HBO's short-lived The Mind of the Married Man, writes, directs, and costars.

The Bottom Line: Casting Costner as a retired ballplayer doesn't bode well in terms of originality. (New Line)"
