The movie "The Upside", is based off of a billionaire, Philip who lives in a New York penthouse and needs a caretaker. Philip is handicap and can only move his face. Dell who is becoming homeless needs work to take care of his ex and his son. Philip's assistant, Yvon did not want to hire Dell because he is very not qualified for this position. But Philip hires him because he needs help and so does he.
This movie is a drama and a comedy. One reason it is a drama because Dell stole a book from Philip when he first arrived not knowing it was an autographed special book. He gave the book to his son as a birthday gift. After Dell found out all about the book and meaning behind it, he asked his son for it back and told the truth to him. The son then went to Philip and returned the book. Another reason why its a comedy is because Kevin Hart plays Dell. Kevin used to be a comedian before acting so it this movie was going to be funny no matter what. One of the funniest parts of the movie was when he returned to Philip after being fired, and the way he acted when seeing his beard was hilarious. Dell was saying all these funny jokes and the directer did a great job picking him to play this part in the movie.
The directer, Neil Burger did a great job telling this story through directing and camera movements. He did some of medium shots, close ups, etc. Here are some pictures of some camera angles that he filmed it in. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone above the age of 13. It for sure is a classic.
