So Kevin Hart’s having a rather rough go of it. No, he isn’t hosting the Oscars. Yes, he did FINALLY get around to apologizing for one liners and old tweets of the Tracy Morgan “Kill my kid if he told me he was gay” variety.

But he’s got a semi-serious and sentimental movie, “The Upside,” coming out. And even though it’s screening a bit late here (reviews are already up from other markets), it looks good.

Bryan Cranston and Nicole Kidman co-star in this remake of the French film, based on a true story, “The Intouchables” (my review of the original film is here). 

Has “The Upside” really been sitting on the shelf for two years?
