A really good film covering what could of been a very depressing subject. It had sadness and humour and the 2 main characters, played by Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart worked really well together. Would definitely recommend it. 9/10
First film seen this year.
Got tickets for Colette, Instant Family & Second act.
Hoping to get tickets for any showing locally.

Re: The Upside
Thankfully Kevin Hart wasn't as annoying as he generally is but whilst this was watchable, the original is far better.
I really missed Earth, Wind and Fire too.

Re: The Upside
I agree saw the original funnily enough through FF and after 5 minutes I forgot it had subtitles- it was that good!
Re: The Upside
This was a funny film but not a laugh out aloud kinda funny which is what I was expecting from Kevin Hart. I enjoyed myself and I would give this 7/10.

Agreed, Gasman . . .the original was definitely a surprise hit despite being in French and subtitled.Gasman wrote:I agree saw the original funnily enough through FF and after 5 minutes I forgot it had subtitles- it was that good!
This version is ok but doesn't quite have the sparkle of the first one. Main characters are good but something lacking between them.
Marks 7/10

Re: The Upside
I thought this one did some things worse and some things better than the French one. It included a few new scenes and missed a few ones too, I am pretty sure ...although its hard to recall the old one completely in my head. More space obviously for Kevin Hart, being a star. Was there paragliding in the last one?
Still a great film though, 4 stars.
