Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart bring character to odd-couple dramedy The Upside
2285d ago
Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston and Nicole Kidman topline director Neil Burger’s English-language remake of the 2011 French hit comedy ‘The Intouchables.’
2285d ago
But “The Upside” has little of that grace otherwise. Though anchored by strong performances that ultimately make it watchable, the surrounding film stumbles along thanks to a bumbling script that’s devoid of any originality.
2285d ago
“The Upside” has a downside: We’ve seen it a million times before.
2285d ago
Ex-con Dell (Kevin Hart) needs work to win over his ex-wife to see his son. After a number of applications, he mistakenly stumbles into an interview for a post auxillary nurse for Manhattan quadriplegic widower Phil (Bryan Cranston). And against all odds — and Phil’s frosty assistant Yvonne (Nicole Kidman) — he gets the job.
2285d ago
Some squinting will be required to block out the race and class stereotyping, as well as the puddles of sentiment scattered throughout the highly predictable plot. Yet Jon Hartmere’s script has genuinely funny moments and is blessedly short on crassness.
2285d ago
The life affirming comedy about a wealthy quadriplegic and his ex-convict assistant boasts funny, powerful performances, but can’t escape its racial subtext

Kevin Hart helps Bryan Cranston loosen up in the pandering remake The Upside

The Upside Is Just Too Retrograde to Be Funny
2285d ago
Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart have terrific odd-couple chemistry, but this "Intouchables" remake doesn't shed the original's most serious flaws.
2285d ago
This remake of “The Intouchables” shares the main flaw of the French original: only the paralyzed white character gets to have layers
2285d ago
Kevin Hart’s huge number of fans may push this film to early box-office success but eventually they are likely to toss it into the untouchable pile.
2285d ago
Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston star in aggressively mediocre redo of a hit about an ex-con taking care of a quadriplegic billionaire
2285d ago
The film becomes overrun by an increasingly preachy and tiresome series of life lessons about race, class, and love.
2285d ago
That day has come. The movie is “The Upside.” And as you’d probably expect—or at least as I expected—it’s a hollow replica of its source material.
2285d ago
This sentimental remake of French heartwarmer The Untouchables pairs a quadriplegic businessman with black carer Kevin Hart to give unfunny echoes of Trading Places
