The Upside

2019 · 2h 6m · Comedy, Drama

IMDb 7.1 Metacritic 46

Skip it. 'The Upside' is a by-the-numbers feel-good dramedy that banks entirely on Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston's charm to gloss over a predictable, saccharine story about unlikely friendship. If you've seen one wealthy-person-meets-working-class-person movie, you've basically seen this one.

Plot

Phillip is a wealthy quadriplegic who needs a caretaker to help him with his day-to-day routine in his New York penthouse. He decides to hire Dell, a struggling parolee who's trying to reconnect with his ex and his young son. Despite coming from two different worlds, an unlikely friendship starts to blossom.

Director: Neil Burger

Cast: Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston, Nicole Kidman, Golshifteh Farahani, Aja Naomi King
