The Upside (2019)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

There is actual backlash for able bodied Cranston playing a disabled person.

People are fucking insane and his response was really good.

The more I am exposed to people whining about their hurt feelings, the more I want to do whatever hurts their feelings.

I wonder if people would complain about Breaking Bad today. Unless he really was a meth dealer in real life.

And there goes all the space travel movies. No one really doing that.

Watched this with the wife. An outstanding film.

I really enjoyed this movie.

I was not aware that it was a remake of the film The Intouchables, which was based upon a real relationship. Liberties were taken to make the story more griping for film, but the relationship exists.

Hart and Cranston have some pretty good chemistry, and both deliver very strong performances. I personally think Hart kind of steals the movie. Kidman is also very likable and more attractive than she's been in years.
