Greetings from the other side. Considering this is a 2017 movie, I found it strange that I had not heard anything about it. However, the movie has Bryan Cranston, Kevin Hart, and Nicole Kidman, so how bad could it be?
I should mention that I have not seen the original French movie that this is based on, "The Intouchables". According to the reviews posting here, the original movie is excellent, so I will have to check it out.
This movie was enjoyable, but there was something off about it. Part of it may be that considering Kevin's character is looking after this paraplegic man, we never really get to see him doing much. Mostly, we get to watch these two guys zipping around and having a good time. It's feels more like Cranston's character isn't paraplegic at all, but because he's extremely rich, his quirk is that he likes to live in a wheelchair full time. You just don't FEEL like he's disabled. I guess they were focusing more on the comedic side of things.
This was like a typical "odd couple" situation, but with a disability spin. They start out at odds, but over time become good friends. Then, they have a big fight, but eventually make up, the end.
The movie is fun to watch though. They actors were excellent.
I definitely recommend this movie. It's not great, but it's still very good. I think I'll go watch the original now. Apparently, it even better!
