The Upside adds itself to a long list of films that Hollywood remakes and fails to emulate.

User review rating: 2 February 07, 2019

The Upside follows a formulaic approach and relies heavily on low emotional blows that seek immediate empathy but lack subtlety.

User review rating: 2 February 07, 2019

Eh really this was just ok, Bryan Cranston was really good but Kevin Hart was just ok in it. Nicole Kidman had about 30 minutes of air-time which didn't help either. Of course we knew the typical ending was kinda cliche too. Really a DVD kinda movie, nothing to spend $10-$20+ on for a movie night at the theaters.

User review rating: 1 February 07, 2019

Yawn, I was as bored watching this movie as the actors were in it. This movie was so lifeless and ambled along so slowly yet going nowhere.

User review rating: 5 February 06, 2019

Best movie I’ve seen

User review rating: 4 February 05, 2019

Wonderful movie - what a pleasant surprise - I expected a tearjerker, but it was far from that. Highly recommended and worth the price - particularly after my last 2 awful choices of The Favourite, and Roma - man alive, I just don't see how the critics rave about such godawful films and not a peep about this pearl. Go watch it, you will not be disappointed.

User review rating: 5 February 05, 2019

Great story with lots of humor thrown in. Lots of laughter echoed thru the theater during the playing of the movie. Great ending.

User review rating: 5 February 03, 2019

excellent "feel good" movie. True story well acted, best movie I've seen is a while. Recommend to couples and family.

User review rating: 5 February 02, 2019

Sirius drama with lots of laugh aloud comedy. The acting and pieces of the movie made me feel like I was there

User review rating: 5 February 02, 2019

Melancholy, humor, uplifting of the human spirit and lives transformed in this movie. Truly engaging from beginning to end. Best movie I saw in 2018

User review rating: 5 February 02, 2019

True story. Very well done and uplifting.

User review rating: 5 February 02, 2019

Just a great movie compared to what's out there. Its well worth the trip to the theatre.

User review rating: 5 February 02, 2019

One word- Fabulous!!!

User review rating: 5 February 01, 2019

Fabulous movie....very heart felt and lots of laughs. Both main actors did a great job acting.

User review rating: 5 February 01, 2019

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.

User review rating: 2 February 01, 2019

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.

User review rating: 1 February 01, 2019

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!!!

User review rating: 2 February 01, 2019

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 :(

User review rating: 4 January 31, 2019

They handled the disability aspect quite well

User review rating: 5 January 31, 2019

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!!!

It is based on a real life storry

User review rating: 5 January 25, 2019

Enjoyed it very much

User review rating: 1 January 25, 2019

Always disappointed to see Hollywood Americanize well-made foreign films, and this one was worse than most as it is poorly adapted and downright insulting in a lot of ways. Aja Naomi King and Nicole Kidman were the only bright spots, and their screentime was limited. Save yourself the money and aggravation by watching Intouchables (2009) instead. It's a delightful experience.

User review rating: 3 January 25, 2019

This was a cute movie. What I liked: the way Hart's character became sensitive to things like wait staff not talking directly to Cranston's character, you could see Hart's character growing. I liked the casting. There were heartwarming & comical moments. What I didn't like: the ending fell flat for me. This movie could have been better with a little clean up on the comedy scenes but again, like the ending they let it fall on it's face. This could have been a 5-star but they dropped it on its face. :( I didn't see the original). This is yet again another movie I'm glad I went to see but I wouldn't re-watch it or buy the DVD.

User review rating: 2 January 25, 2019

Cliche. If you've seen "Me, Before You" then you've seen a parallel version of this. I'm not sure what Nicole Kidman got out of this movie.

User review rating: 2 January 25, 2019

Meh. The original was much better. This one lost the charm and added nothing new.

User review rating: 5 January 25, 2019

Awesome, funny, drama at times - wonderful acting - except Nicole Kidman. Thankfully she is not in the scenes for long periods of time. I was still smiling and "laughing" to myself on the way home. Great movie - a must see !

User review rating: 5 January 24, 2019

Completely enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. Probably because of Kevin Hart, I expected more of a comedy and while it does have some very funny moments the movie's depth and emotion surprised me. Great movie - go see it.
