EditThe Upside (2017)

Den småkriminelle Dell (Kevin Hart) er netop prøveløsladt og på udkig efter et arbejde. Mangemillionæren Phillip Lacasse (Bryan Cranston), er bundet til en kørestol og har konstant brug for en hjælper – et job som Dell modvilligt søger. Dell forventer at få et rungende nej, som han er vant til, men Philippe, savner forandring i hverdagen og overrumples af Dells sarkastiske humor og beslutter sig for at hyre ham. ‘The Upside’ er en hjertevarm komedie om et umage venskab og løst baseret på kæmpesuccessen ”De urørlige”.

Interesting thing about the true stories is that they are often more incredible than fiction, created by the imagination of a talented writer. “The Upside” is the third remake of this heart-warming story after the 2011’s French film “The Intouchables”. The partnership between three great actors - Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”), Kevin Hart (“Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle”) and Nicole Kidman (“Far and Away”) is so smooth and natural that their work doesn’t feel like acting. Those of you who have seen “The Intouchables” know that the plot revolves around a wealthy but paralysed man who develops a wonderful friendship with his assistant. While the ex-convict Dell Scott struggles to find a decent job, little does he expect that helping someone with quadriplegia will not only feel rewarding but it will be great fun too!
