They told me it was the best movie but...

Rating: 7/10 (23 August 2013)

When I decided to rent Intouchables on DVD, the store manager told me that it was the best movie he has seen for 3 years. Unfortunately I didn't agree with him. Of course I had a nice time watching it and the fact that the movie is based on a true story is very touching. Both actors were great and especially Omar Sy who was just delightful to watch. But in my opinion it was just a nice, sweet movie nothing more. I think that is very easy to make audience 'emotionally attached' to a film that has to do with a quadriplegic and his life and this is why I believe that it was a safe path for the production and there were not something new, something different, something that can make you wonder and admire the creativity of director or writer.
