If you loved The Lucky Ones, try The Upside

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Neil Burger, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Lucky Ones, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Upside is

No one signed up to be the butler of happiness. A wealthy quadriplegic hires a parolee caretaker in Manhattan, sparking an odd-couple dynamic. The film gets credit for trying, even if it mostly forgets to laugh at itself.
