Phillip Lacasse is a wealthy
author suffering from quadriplegia after a parasailing accident. Now a widower
also, he is living a sheltered life. Phillip decides to hire Dell Scott, a man
with a criminal record, as his live-in aide. A very unlikely friendship will
blossom between the two very different men.
This is an adaptation of the
French film called “Les Intouchables”, which is based on a true story. While it
is not quite equal to the original, this film is well done. They did a good job
Americanizing the story without diluting it. The acting is solid, and the two
main actors a great chemistry together on screen. I laughed, I smiled and held
back a few tears. That’s all you can hope for with a movie like this one: To be
entertained and to get emotionally invested while it lasts.
