Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Upside (2017)
The Upside is a remake of French film The Intouchables (2011), the story of the relationship between a wealthy paraplegic and an unemployed man with a criminal record who’s hired to help him.
Bryan Cranston, Kevin Hart and Nicole Kidman star while Neil Burger directs.
There’s no denying it, The Intouchables is a great movie and could have done without a remake.
At the same time, though, I think I may actually have fun seeing how different this remake is from the original. I could also be wrong about that last statement, but I don’t mind finding out. Furthermore, I want to see what comedian Kevin Hart can do in a more dramatic role.
Julianna Margulies, Golshifteh Farahani, Tate Donovan and Aja Naomi King also star.
The Upside Release Dates: January 11th, 2019 (US & UK)…
Happy Film Loving,

I didn’t see this coming.
We often don’t with sequels. 🤓
