Just to let the people know who are saying people are reviewing before it's released that's not exactly accurate. This movie was made in 2017 it was released this year at different film festivals across the US so it has been viewed by a select few. With that being said I realize some individuals don't like when "Hollywood" remakes what they feel is a classic picture. I've also heard some say comedians should t do serious roles! I call BS on both those ideals! Robin Williams was a comedian and went on to do fabulous work in dramatic roles! I've seen Kevin Hart in About Last Night his character was very diverse and one of my favorite parts of that movie is where he gets serious talking about his love for his girl on such a deep level that he cries! He's come a long way as an actor don't write him off because he started as a comedian!

Dell Scott (Kevin Hart) is a loser ex-con needing his three signatures for his parole officer. He is hired as a caregiver for real billionaire quadriplegic Phillip Lacasse (Bryan Cranston). Nicole Kidman plays umpire. This is your typical odd-couple formula. Phillip learns to love life again and Kevin Hart learns that Aretha sang opera. Very vanilla type film. Guide: No swearing. Brief sex. No nudity.

I just saw this film, and didn't realize until seeing the credits that it was based on a previous film titled "Intouchables". It made me want to see that film. Well, I also noticed while going on here, imdb, that this film was made in 2017. Then, reading some reviews, which I found some to be very negative and pretentious towards this film and only because it is based on a previous film. Now, because of those negative reviews and pretentious people telling others to see the "original" instead, I don't even want to see the previous film anymore. So to those people I say, spread your negativity somewhere else, because you still have your film to love whether this one was made or not.

This has moments of laughter, tears, and absolute fear- of an empathetic sort. It's a really beautiful story of two men who save each other. Please ignore the bad reviews and give it a watch! The chemistry between Cranston and Hart is fantastic. They are both absolute powerhouses!

I rarely tear up while watching movies, but The Upside gave me tears of joy. It is funny, yes, with Kevin Hart what do you expect? But it is also serious, tender, hurtful, playful and yes, joyful. Bryan Cranston delivers a powerful and convincing performance as wealthy paraplegic Phillip Lacasse. Ex-con Dell Scott, played by Kevin Hart, is hired to be his 24/7 personal assistant. Nicole Kidman does a superb job of playing Phillip's up-tight special assistant, Yvonne. Phillip and Dell form a strong friendship during their time together and share some improbable adventures as well as some emotional breakthroughs. This movie is not for children, but doesn't include much in the way of foul language, only mature situations.

This film tells the story of a very rich man who employs an unqualified man to be his carer. The story is heavily Americanised, and is just not the same as the French film. I remember the French film being touching, but this story isn't touching. I see transformations in both of them, but it lacks a poignant moment. It's still an enjoyable film though.
