True story. Very well done and uplifting.
Just a great movie compared to what's out there. Its well worth the trip to the theatre.
One word- Fabulous!!!
Fabulous movie....very heart felt and lots of laughs. Both main actors did a great job acting.
Such a wonderful movie and story is "The Upside" = We enjoyed seeing it at Ottumwa, IA's Cinema 8. It's worth your time and money to see it. You know it's good, when you find yourself thinking about it, or talking about it later.
Typical and bland is the best description to describe the Upside. The film pits a predictable immature man with a disabled semi-father figure. Though both Cranston and Hart play their roles well we have seen them play these characters before and we have seen this narrative remade many times too. It's just rehash really and to go into more detail is just rehashing as well.
Hollywood seriously needs to leave well made movies alone. This is an awful attempt at recreating the Intouchables! The original is irreplaceable! Hollywood tried this with Death at A Funeral and did a terrible job at that as well. When will they ever learn? This movie is lacking in so many areas!!!
I really love the potential of a Kevin Hart movie but this one felt like they put in all the time in the beginning & middle but ran out of time for a solid conclusion. I enjoyed the movie but it had the potential to be a favorite... except it fell flat. The two main characters had such chemistry & it fizzled instead of sizzled :(
They handled the disability aspect quite well
An absolute solid 5 - This movie had everything! I’m 80+ years old and never wrote a movie review before but for this movie I just had to. Both my wife and I came away from the movie feeling completely uplifted. My wife mentioned some very positive things she was going to start living. This a Must See!!!
