Touching from the very first frame, with a ton of great laughs convincingly delivered by a charming Omar Sy. The chemistry between Driss and Phillipe cannot be bought for money - A highly recommendable film wich I sat through with one big smile on my face...

Unabashedly mainstream, like the feel-good Hollywood movies of the 90's (the two leads are very much the Eddie Murphy-type and the Dustin Hoffman-type). The shallowness of the film is highlighted by how it brushes aside the social issues of the French ghettos: the parallels between Philippe's physical handicap and Driss' social handicap are hinted at but never really tackled at any depth. But what it does well -- depicting the friendship and chemistry between the two -- it does so joyfully.

Grabbed me in its opening scene and I'd hoped the film would continue in that vein but it couldn't seem to liberate itself from the constraints of formula later on. There was no conflict for me to latch onto and as I would expect from a crowd-pleaser (cf. The King's Speech (*barf*)), assumes you'll embrace it unconditionally (I hate that...) regardless of it lacking in character development. That said, Sy's gift for humour lit up the screen and was responsible for many of the film's laughs.

So genuinely charming and funny, I can't stop smiling. And I'm writing these lines hours after the credits started to roll. A feel-good masterpiece of elegance, timing and on-screen chemistry.

Just look at the poster of this film. Call me cynical, but there is nothing real, nothing true or honest in this film. In fact it made me sick the same way looking at fake smiles on journal covers does.

At times a beautiful film. However, it left me feel a bit empty. If Intouchables would have had deeper layers it could have been great. Certainly one not to miss.

Tavington | 2 37th |

Drama with some good funny moments. Beginning was quite promising yet nothing really shocking happened throughout entire movie. Somehow only jokes were driving whole plot and some family issues. And even latter weren't developed as much as I expected. This and predictable end left me a bit unsatisfied.

A priviliged asshole teams up with an unprivileged asshole to be assholes. It has its moments but most of the time it's just remarkably manipulative and cliched, almost as if none of it ever actually happened beyond the premise.

Unfortunately for this viewer, THE UPSIDE planted its flag first - this is still an enjoyable if too leisurely buddy-movie which never really digs into the class (and race relation) ideas that it timidly raises - using a character's sexuality as an awkward payoff to a laboured running gag is another detriment. Cluzet and Sy work well together, but don't share the same chemistry of Cranston and Hart in the remake. Hard to tell if this would get a higher score without the remake so fresh in mind.

It's often hard not to smile and by all means, smile! Both leads are very charming especially Omar Sy but once again I became pretty disappointed going to the movies. At least it's better than fucking Hunger Games... still it's all very formulaic and I'm far from impressed with the directing overall. Score by Einaudi basically hampers all emotional moments. Naive and adolescent in its style and relies awfully lot on Sy and when he doesn't deliver there isn't much left.

This reminded me of a Lifetime movie they play on weekend matinees. Two people with different backgrounds somehow interact and become the best of friends. There are so many cheap laughs and those silly montage-like gags where it's one quick throwaway joke after another. Of course the troubled young kid is also good looking and can dance, and I'll give Omar Sy credit. Both leads do a fine job, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a lazy movie that's been done a thousand times.

It's simple in a positive and charming way and in the end it hits you with full force whithout you knowing why.

A story like this isn't covering any new ground, but what takes the movie to a level of excellence is the skill of the two lead actors.

A very funny movie, very entertaining and the chemistry between the two protagonists is just lovable to watch. That it is based on a true story makes the movie more adorable. However, the social criticism which is hinted at the beginning of the movie is lost throughout and only solved mediocrately if solved at all.

Though not as insulting as say The Blind Side, The Intouchables, with its saccharine stuffy white character meets manic pixie black dude narrative, is in the same ball bark, saved only by the fact Cluzet and Sy are leagues above Bullock and Aaron in the acting department.

Just put Dustin Hoffman and Chris Tucker as the leads and you have the perfect American remake of this tear-jerker material. That's all.

Annoyingly simplistic and patronising, despite a few moments of irreverent humour. Sy is pretty charming but I didn't buy Cluzet's character at all. Like the nauseating tinkly piano score, the film is trying oh-so hard to warm your heart but left me cold.

I'm flabbergasted by the fact that so many people value this slimy feelgood-vehicle quite high. i wonder, what do I not see? Am I that blind or prejudiced? It's #44 in the imdb top 250!?! (And not even Indian!) I guess i'll try again in a couple of years, see what happens.

I really enjoyed this lighthearted French comedy! Francois Cluzet and Omar Sy were such an awesome pair. I laughed at so many parts of this movie. One of my favorite scenes is when Sy is shaving Cluzet's face and makes his facial hair into all these really funny shapes like a Village People beard and Hitler's little mustache. I smiled so many times and just had a really great time. I can see why this is the most successful French film of all time. I may have to check out more French films.

nice enough film with a fair few scenes to make you smile. If you like heartwarming and 'odd couple' stuff you're probably going to rave about this.If you really really don't like a bit of schmaltz and have a problem with rich white man/black dude servant scenarios then best to stay clear for your blood pressure's sake

En sånn film jeg egentlig hater, men de to hovedrollene er så sjarmerende at jeg ikke klarer. Hadde dette vært en Hollywood-film med de tradisjonelle Hollywood-skuespillerne hadde jeg aldri sett den, men all buzzen gjorde meg nysgjerrig. Perfekt som en sånn film man setter på med mennesker som ikke har sett så mye film og man bare skal kose seg.

Intouchables is a good film that, despite brief bursts of comedic energy, lingers in a subdued dramatic tone that resists excitement. Having already seen The Upside 2 years earlier, I prefer it as it leans more towards the comedy. Cluzet & Sy are good, but they play it too straight. Most the film's conflict comes from their characters' families; the aspect I found least interesting. Einaudi's score is immediately recognisable, but it often detracts from whatever is going on onscreen.
