SYNOPSIS
Philip is a disabled white billionaire, who feels that life is not worth living. To help him in his day to day routine, he hires Del, an African American parolee, trying to reconnect with his estranged wife. What begins as a professional relationship develops into a friendship as Del shows his grouchy charge that life is worth living
Let me first say the original was a masterpiece, it was brilliant. This is a very good remake I must say, Kevin Hart gave all he could and Bryan Cranston? He was excellent as usual. The Upside wasn't 100% true to it's French counterpart and it's ending was slightly disappointing.

REVIEW
Let me first say the original was a masterpiece, it was brilliant. This is a very good remake I must say, Kevin Hart gave all he could and Bryan Cranston? He was excellent as usual. The Upside wasn't 100% true to it's French counterpart and it's ending was slightly disappointing.
The Upside is honest, funny, and brought several serious issues to light that most people ignore: single fathers, the prison pipeline, depression, disability-and many more serious issues we hyper focus on: prejudice, racism, and the wealth gap. It was a simple, funny, entertaining movie that told a story with a happy ending. It wasn't that deep. It wasn't preachy.
The Upside is far from groundbreaking and it's rather undeniably cliche-ridden, but those downsides don't come close to making the film enjoyableness. It's still an incredibly heart-warming, funny, and uplifting film with three fantastic performances to boot. Yes, it's the USA version of the FANTASTIC movie, 'The Intouchables' but it's illogical to say this movie is awful because it doesn't come close to the original.
Forget the critics, go see this movie. It's amazing. You will love it. I love Nicole Kidman and she did quite her best. This is a bit off the map but hey, didn't you LOVE the way Nicole Kidman kicked a**es in Aquaman? She did quite good! She's the best!
Remember "Me Before You"? Isn't that a bit similar to that of The Upside? I had the feeling as well.
Before you watch The Upside, please do watch The Intouchables & Me Before You and judge for yourselves. The Upside is a good movie and worth watching multiple times. Like I stated above, FORGET the CRITICS, GO SEE THIS MOVIE.
I give 7/10.........
