Great movie. I will definitely buy it when it comes out on dvd
This is one of the best movies Kevin Hart has done in his movie career.
Awesome movie, I really enjoyed it.
Awesome movie
This movie was great. Very funny and excellent story.
wonderful movie! What a surprise!
Loved it! Excellent movie with a great cast! An absolute delight to watch in this world that’s otherwise full of entertainment garbage!
Overall very good movie! Good story with good acting enjoyable to watch form the beginning to end.
The Upside adds itself to a long list of films that Hollywood remakes and fails to emulate.
The Upside follows a formulaic approach and relies heavily on low emotional blows that seek immediate empathy but lack subtlety.
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.
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.
Best movie I’ve seen
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.
Excellent movie with superb actors and acting
fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
Great story with lots of humor thrown in. Lots of laughter echoed thru the theater during the playing of the movie. Great ending.
excellent "feel good" movie. True story well acted, best movie I've seen is a while. Recommend to couples and family.
Sirius drama with lots of laugh aloud comedy. The acting and pieces of the movie made me feel like I was there
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
True story. Very well done and uplifting.
Just a great movie compared to what's out there. Its well worth the trip to the theatre.
One word- Fabulous!!!
Fabulous movie....very heart felt and lots of laughs. Both main actors did a great job acting.
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.
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.
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!!!
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 :(
They handled the disability aspect quite well
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!!!
One of the best movies I have seen.
Good message and was based on true story.
really enjoyed- must see
Really loved this movie. A must see.
This movie is a lot of fun! 5stars
Cool movie. Really liked it very funny and very good story line.
Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart is a good combo... Awesome movie. Worth watching
It had use continuously laughing ! great movie
Very funny! a lesson on how we can positively affect other peoples lives, even when that was not our original intent!
Great story. Very funny.
Fun, funny, feel good movie. Sad and obvious the critics have no sense of humor. Go watch it and have a good laugh.
wonderful touching story.
It is based on a real life storry
Enjoyed it very much
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.
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.
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.
Meh. The original was much better. This one lost the charm and added nothing new.
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 !
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.
