Preachy, manipulative, and frustratingly clichéd, The Upside showcases Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart's chemistry without ever taking full advantage of it.

Director Neil Burger, for his part, moves the story along fairly briskly, refusing to let the film's schmaltziness weigh it down. This is nothing remarkable, but it could have been a lot worse. April 13, 2020 | Full Review…

As the paint-by-numbers plot progresses -- over two very long hours -- the treacle thickens and it becomes clear that each of them is slowly going to learn from and be redeemed by the others. May 3, 2019 | Full Review…

This is a different look for him, and I'm fine with what he does, stepping in to a dramatic role. I have issues with this film because it wants to play off that "inspired by a true film" a bit too much. March 4, 2019 | Full Review…

This is not much more than a light crowdpleaser, but when you've got two powerhouse performers like this it is very difficult not to find oneself at least temporarily charmed. February 22, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The most optimistic answer would be that after decades of overuse we're beginning to grow weary of such racist caricatures. Let's hope that's true. February 7, 2019 | Full Review…

For the most part, [Hart] is more subdued than usual and aiming to hit deeper notes - call it Hart-felt. January 17, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Some of the darker comedy touches work very well indeed and it's tough not to have a tear in your eye when Cranston turns on his magic. August 16, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Upside isn't a movie that wants its audiences to think, and that's fine . . . but it's also a movie that doesn't let its audiences think. July 27, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

The Upside is based on a true story. That's ironic, since it doesn't resemble real life so much as a cobbled together mess of carpe diem clichés, luxury porn and workplace sexual harassment. July 18, 2020 | Rating: 4/10 | Full Review…

All of [these] conversations are infinitely more interesting when treated seriously through the filter of Hart's comedic delivery. He and Cranston are a good team, and their chemistry is gratifying. July 14, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

An enjoyable life-affirming movie that stays true to the heart of the original film, reiterating there's more to Hart's acting abilities than his Calamity Jane skit. July 13, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
