****Upside (2019) Tony wanted to see this movie to catch the actor from Jumanji , Kevin Hart, who here plays a man, Dell, down on his luck who is hired as a caretaker for a wealthy quadriplegic, Phillip Lacasse (Bryan Cranston), who injured himself in a hang gliding accident where his wife died. His personal executive (Nicole Kidman) does not approve of the hire, (which was based on hiring the least competent care taker) and gives three strikes. He gets to two, but the third does not come. This movie involves stepping out of your box for both characters. However, when Phillip goes on a date with his pen pal Lily (Julianna Margulies)at the urging of Dell, and it doesn’t go well, Phillip gives the third strike and sends Dell on his way. However he has learned enough from Phillip to now stand on his own. However Phillip is not in the same position. Dell comes back in an effort to make things right, which makes for a nice ending with them both hang gliding.
Word of warning, sometimes the language is rough, a brief scene with prostitutes and lots of marijuana smoking. These pleasure seem pretty shallow but they are part of the movie.
