Title - The Upside
Studio - STX Entertainment
Starring - Bryan Cranston, Kevin Hart, Nicole Kidman, Julianna Margulies, Tate Donovan
Writer - Jon Hartmere
Director - Neil Burger
Release - 11 January 2019
From what I've heard, it's a very fateful adaptation from the original, Intouchables.
The good:
- A very linear story that was engaging and charming.
- Beautiful performance from Bryan Cranston, a subdued one from Nicole Kidman, and surprisingly dramatic from Kevin Hart. Tate Donovan was great at being annoying.
- Neil Burger's direction kept the pacing consistent, and perhaps a somewhat realistic look at the life of a quadriplegic.
The bad:
- The movie never gave us more of an emotional pull. And I have to wonder had it been a dramatic actor instead of Hart, could the movie had dug deeper?
- Predictable in the sense that we could see how all the relationships will end by the closing of the movie.
Conclusion:
Definitely a feel-good movie worth watching.
