The Upside


The Upside chronicles the unexpected friendship between Phillip Lacasse (Cranston), a Park Avenue billionaire left paralyzed after a hang-gliding accident, and convicted felon Dell (Hart), recently released from prison and in need of a job and a fresh start. From worlds apart, Phillip and Dell form an unlikely bond, bridging their differences and gaining invaluable wisdom in the process, giving each man a renewed sense of passion for all of life’s possibilities.

This was an awesome pairing onscreen chemistry wise.  Kevin Hart and Byran Cranston were perfectly paired in this movie and played off of each other so well.  You really believed a lot of the odd couple bantering and the caring that developed between the two characters.  The old two people from different worlds, both flawed and learning from each other how to change for the better story was perfectly played out because of this great chemistry.

I would absolutely recommend people checking this movie out.  It is a very enjoyable watch with lots of laugh and heart throughout.
