While there’s still an edge of comedy in this The Upside trailer, it looks like a bit of a
departure for Kevin Hart. He’s not as frantic and manic as he usually appears
in some films, and that might be interesting to see. Throwing great actors like
Bryan Cranston and Nicole Kidman into the mix certainly doesn’t hurt, either.
All in all, The Upside looks
like a near-identical remake of The
Intouchables, with an American bent. Here’s the Intouchables trailer for comparison.

As mentioned above, The
Upside‘s release has had a bit of delay. The film premiered at the
2017 Toronto International Film Festival, and was supposed to hit theaters in
March of 2018. But the movie was originally a Weinstein Company film, and the
Harvey Weinstein scandal resulted in the film being pulled from release. This
isn’t the only film that suffered this fate. The Current War, another Weinstein
Company film that played at TIFF in 2017, also had its release nixed. In
the time since, STX Entertainment has partnered with the re-named
Weinstein Company, Lantern Entertainment, to release The Upside in 2019.
The reviews out of TIFF weren’t overly kind: the film sits at
55% on s review says: “No surprises here, folks; just half-hearted
punchlines and unadventurous sentimentality readymade for marketplace
consumption.” adds: “So little has been done to update or
refresh The Intouchables for
American culture or a new audience that The
Upside has no integrity as a separate piece of work.” https://theupsidefull.org/

disarming about [Cranston] and [Hart]’s relationship that you’re gradually
sucked into it without asking too many questions.
