Bryan Cranston starred alongside Kevin Hart in the 2017 dramedy “The Upside,” based on the true story of a paralyzed billionaire who befriends a recently paroled convict and hires him as a caretaker.
It is a remake of the French 2011 film The Intouchables, which was itself inspired by the lives of Abdel Sallou and Philippe Pozzo di Borgo. The film follows a paralyzed billionaire (Bryan Cranston) who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a recently paroled convict (Kevin Hart) whom he hires to take care of him.
The biggest message of “The Upside” is that we as human beings have a choice. More specifically, we have a choice in how we perceive life, regardless of the hard times we have experienced. Hart's character is an example of the person who makes the decision to make the best of his life.
At the end of the film, we see the real millionaire and his assistant. They are still friends, even though they don't see each other as often as they used to. The men left France: Abdel returned to Algeria where he opened a bird farm, and Philippe moved to Morocco.
Abdel Sellou now lives in Algeria with his wife and three children, where he runs a chicken farm. He remains close to Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, who lives in Morocco with his second wife and two children.

The film ends with Eden revealing she has become pregnant with twins, and the camera zooms far out to reveal towering skyscrapers on both sides, showing that the anti-gravity formula allowed the Down world to become prosperous, as well as children from both sides interacting through basketball.
It ends happily, don't worry! Timothy uses the magic pink pollen to create a serum that lets people move between the two worlds. And I guess at some point, Kirsten and Jim had sex, because Kirsten's pregnant with twins.

The scene begins with Dell (Hart) clutching the spreader bar (the bottom part of the paraglider) and glancing nervously at the ground below as his pilot (USHPA instructor Rob Sporrer) sits behind him flying the glider. Unlike Cranston, Hart did not fly in any of the scenes.
The Upside appeals to mass audience erogenous zones (bankable star, humor, candy-coating issues) that's unapologetically feel-good while offering award season relief. It's a little long. The real anchor for the movie is their relationship, but it's super funny.

One of the most original, creative and technically accomplished films of our time, Upside Down is a pure delight. Unfortunately, there's absolutely no character development, tossing a poorly realized and mundane love story at us that's furthered only by its nicely varnished visuals.
Did you know. This is a remake of the French film The Intouchables (2011). In Germany and The Netherlands, it was the most successful French film in history. The same story has also been filmed as the Argentinian film Inseparables (2016).
