As soon as I saw the trailer for this movie which made me laugh several times I decided to put it on my must-see movie list. I really enjoy Bryan Cranston and Nicole Kidman's acting and I find Kevin Hart hilarious. I'm also a fan of movies with characters with great wealth and the idea of someone without money coming in and bringing new joy, fun, and excitement into their life. Take a look at the trailer:



This movie is based on a true story and a remake of a 2011 French movie called The Intouchables. The remake was released on January 11th, 2019. I really enjoyed it so much so that I didn't want it to end. I wanted more time with Bryan & Kevin's characters and their wonderful friendship. True friendship is when you are there for your friend in good times and bad and you lift their spirits in bad times by reminding them of the things they love about life. This movie is like a page-turning book that is so enjoyable that you don't want to turn to the last page for it will end. There were lots of laughs along the way with a happy, but a teary ending. It was a fun, enjoyable, and funny movie that I highly recommend you go see. It's so good I'll probably watch it again when it comes out on DVD. The audience was full of laughter and it appeared everyone was enjoying it from the beginning to the end. Their acting was excellent! Oh, how I hated Tate Donovan's character! The revenge scene was so sweet!  One scene gave me goosebumps, it was so heartwarming. Julianna Margulies acting was interesting, I like how the director made it so you knew what she was thinking without her saying anything. Well done! They did that again with Nicole Kidman's character at the very end. Now that's great acting! I give it four out of five stars. I say go see it in the theatre if you can swing it and if not, definitely put it at the top of your DVD wish list. You're in for a real treat! Awesome movie! Bravo!

My movie ratings defined - ⭐️ I hated it so much I didn't watch until the end, ⭐️ ⭐️ I hated it, but watched the entire movie, ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I enjoyed it, ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I loved it and will watch again, ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I love it, will purchase it on DVD and I will watch it repeatedly (very few get this rating).
