Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)

The Upside, directed by Neil Burger, is a heartwarming buddy comedy-drama that serves as an American remake of the French smash-hit The Intouchables (2011). While it often struggles to step out of the original’s shadow, it succeeds largely due to the electric chemistry between its two leads.

The Plot The story follows Phillip Lacasse (Bryan Cranston), a quadriplegic billionaire who is interviewing candidates for the position of his live-in caregiver. He hires Dell Scott (Kevin Hart), a parolee with no experience who only showed up to the interview to get a signature for his parole officer. Despite their vastly different backgrounds—and Dell's total lack of qualifications—the two men form an unlikely bond that helps them heal their respective emotional wounds.

The Performances The strongest asset of The Upside is undoubtedly the casting.

The Direction and Tone Neil Burger directs the film with a safe, conventional approach. The cinematography is polished, and the pacing is brisk. However, the film lacks the artistic flair and subtle poignancy that made the French original so beloved. The script often opts for broad humor and sentimental tropes rather than digging deep into the complexities of disability and class divides. At times, the humor feels a bit forced, and the emotional beats can feel slightly manufactured.

The Verdict The Upside is a predictable but crowd-pleasing film. It does not reinvent the wheel, and purists will likely prefer The Intouchables, but as a standalone American drama, it is effective. It is a story about redemption and friendship that manages to be feel-good without being overly saccharine. If you enjoy character-driven stories anchored by strong acting, it is worth a watch.
