The sight of two lost souls finding something unavoidably necessary in each other carries The Upside of Anger through it pleasant episodic drift. When Terry Wolfmeyer (Joan Allen) realizes that her husband won't be coming home again, she hits the skids and the bottle, leaving her four thunderstruck daughters (Alicia Witt, Keri Russell, Erika Christensen, and Evan Rachel Wood) to fend for themselves while she fends off the attentions of concerned neighbor Denny Davies (Kevin Costner). Writer/director Mike Binder (who has a good bit as Costner's sleazy producer) juggles too many subplots in this comedy/drama--his charming young actresses are all but wasted--then tosses in a wrongheaded climactic twist and terrible explanatory narration from young Wood. But the two leads do career-best turns: If you've given up hope on Costner, you'll be surprised by his shaggy dog appeal as a perpetually soused radio show host/faded ex-baseball star, while Allen's boozy, brittle performance is so remarkable that even her comic drunkenness is nuanced. --Steve Wiecking

The star (Rowan Atkinson) and cowriter (Ben Elton) of the phenomenally successful Black Adder series turned to a more traditional sitcom format in The Thin Blue Line. Atkinson plays Inspector Fowler, a rather plodding policeman whose officers are, to say the least, unlikely to strike fear into the hearts of hardened criminals. Fowler's nemesis is the local plain-clothes detective Inspector Grim, who thinks that the key to his job is wearing a leather jacket and shouting, "Go, go, go!" a lot.

In the first of two episodes on this tape, Fowler forgets that it's the 10th anniversary of his relationship with girlfriend (and desk sergeant) Patricia, but he does remember to buy a gift for the queen on her birthday. He also declares war on pickpockets: "The Artful Dodger was nothing but a common criminal, and I'm sure he'd have considered himself a lot less at home in a juvenile detention center!"

The second episode finds Inspector Grim on the hunt for a terrorist, while Fowler has to deal with more mundane problems--a hat full of vomit for example. Meanwhile, Constable Goody (the brilliant James Dreyfus) has a rival for the affections of Constable Habib, or at least he thinks he does. The Thin Blue Line is not as inventive as Black Adder, but Ben Elton knows how to write great jokes, and a strong cast makes the most of the script. In a world saturated with mediocre sitcoms, that makes a refreshing change. --Simon Leake
