New movie list The Intouchables An irreverent, uplifting comedy about friendship, trust and human possibility, The Intouchables has broken box office records in its native France and across Europe. Based on a true story of friendship between a handicap millionaire (Francois Cluzet) and his street smart ex-con caretaker (Omar Sy), The Intouchables depicts an unlikely camaraderie rooted in honesty and humor between two individuals who, on the surface, would seem to have nothing in common. -- (C) Weinstein R Release Date The Intouchables May 25, 2012 Limited

Review For The Intouchables
If you loved "The Bucket List," you'll be exclaiming, "Incroyable!" John Anderson-Newsday A box office phenomenon in France, this crowd-pleasing drama is based on a true story but sticks closely to the template for a Hollywood buddy movie. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader More than a little unrealistic. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post The Intouchables works as a crowd-pleaser not because it's true, but because it's a plausible enchantment. Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail "The Intouchables" is actually quite touchable. Tom Long-Detroit News Some of the elements in the film are inexplicable and some are undeveloped, but there are a handful of nicely crafted set pieces. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle Gives its subject too light a treatment for the life-affirming message to feel earned. Michael Nordine-L.A. Weekly This pleasant, predictable, fact-based tale of an unlikely friendship between a quadriplegic and his carer hits all the sweet spots a feel-good movie must. Jim Schembri-3AW In the wrong hands this film could have been a sentimental mess. Luckily it's not and instead of being a film about labels, it's about people and the healing power of camaraderie. Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie I think a lot of people are going to enjoy it but I think it also tries too hard to please that audience and it just shrieks, aiming at that middle bar. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia) The problem is that if, while you're having a good time with these characters, you start to think about the wider implications of the film, you might find yourself somewhat less enthralled. David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia) Is The Intouchables an enjoyable movie if you overlook a few potentially queasy-making scenes? Absolutely. Is it great filmmaking in the neighbourhood of art? Nope. Lisa Nesselson-sbs.com.au Oscar-nominated, lauded at festivals overseas and now, one of the most successful French pictures of all time, The Intouchables is simply irresistible. Ed Gibbs-The Sun Herald The two heartfelt central performances from François Cluzet and Omar Sy will inject you with happiness Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane Capturing the unspoken shorthand, the adventurousness and the humour essential to enduring friendships makes the The Intouchables must see. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show Buddy movies don't come more moving, funnier and more successful than The Intouchables, based on a true story Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile There are countless magical moments worth recounting - many with humour and involving the clash of the classes - it is not surprising that the film has been a runaway hit in France and elsewhere in Europe Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile The cliches are so skillfully navigated only the heartless will fail to be charmed. Matt Glasby-Flicks.co.nz It's a situation ripe for culture-clash comedy, a set-up that co-directors Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache exploit with gusto, as Driss takes stock of his opulent new surroundings and Philippe rediscovers his appetite for life. Jason Best-Movie Talk Based on the true story of an unlikely odd couple who give each other a new lease on life, this French comedy-drama is almost irresistibly engaging Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com It's not subtle. It's not innovative. But it guarantees good humour, pranks, japes and welling-up for two hours. Tara Brady-Irish Times Sweet French drama about unlikely friendship has some edge. Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media The film's dominance of the global box office is entirely justified and hopefully it will break through that foreign language glass ceiling in the same way as the likes of Amelie and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Adam Lowes-HeyUGuys It's as slick as an oil spill, as sugary as an eclair, and many moviegoers will find it irresistible. Philip French-Observer [UK] There is something so fatuous about the whole farrago that one will never again believe the old saw that the French are more cultured than the Brits and couldn't possibly be taken for this sort of gooey ride. Derek Malcolm-This is London Veteran French star Francois Cluzet and award-winning comedian Omar Sy are both excellent and the chemistry between them really crackles. Allan Hunter-Daily Express
