As we launch into a new year, filled with hopes and a short-lived determination to make our lives better, a film like this can serve as an extra level of inspiration.

[Bryan] Cranston and [Kevin] Hart fight tooth and nail to keep the film as charming as possible, though, with Hart going to particularly impressive lengths. It almost works, until you remember it shouldn't.

The Upside - a tone deaf, ill timed, and messy comedy - is a film no one: not even Hart, wants right now.

Though anchored by strong performances, The Upside stumbles along thanks to a bumbling script that's devoid of any originality.

No matter how heartening the performances are, how hard Hart and Cranston work to make us forget about the transparent blueprint design of the narrative, ultimately, the film makes one feel queasy.

Even while recognizing how much this French tale has been Hollywooded up, I couldn't help being engrossed by the story.

No surprises here, folks; just half-hearted punchlines and unadventurous sentimentality readymade for marketplace consumption.
