    Fun, funny, feel good movie. Sad and obvious the critics have no sense of humor. Go watch it and have a good laugh.

    Always disappointed to see Hollywood Americanize well-made foreign films, and this one was worse than most as it is poorly adapted and downright insulting in a lot of ways. Aja Naomi King and Nicole Kidman were the only bright spots, and their screentime was limited. Save yourself the money and aggravation by watching Intouchables (2009) instead. It's a delightful experience.

    This was a cute movie. What I liked: the way Hart's character became sensitive to things like wait staff not talking directly to Cranston's character, you could see Hart's character growing. I liked the casting. There were heartwarming & comical moments. What I didn't like: the ending fell flat for me. This movie could have been better with a little clean up on the comedy scenes but again, like the ending they let it fall on it's face. This could have been a 5-star but they dropped it on its face. :( I didn't see the original). This is yet again another movie I'm glad I went to see but I wouldn't re-watch it or buy the DVD.

    Cliche. If you've seen "Me, Before You" then you've seen a parallel version of this. I'm not sure what Nicole Kidman got out of this movie.

    Meh. The original was much better. This one lost the charm and added nothing new.

    Awesome, funny, drama at times - wonderful acting - except Nicole Kidman. Thankfully she is not in the scenes for long periods of time. I was still smiling and "laughing" to myself on the way home. Great movie - a must see !
