The Upside
Autor Abdel Sellouen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2018
Abdel Sellou and Philippe Pozzo di Borgo were two people marginalized by society: Sellou a wisecracking, unemployed immigrant, just out on parole; Pozzo a man born to wealth and privilege, recently paralyzed from the neck down after a paragliding accident. How they came to help each other, and the unlikely friendship that became a lifeline for them both, is an uplifting story that's now been told and retold around the world.
In this bestselling memoir, Sellou shows us the irreverent, real-life character behind Kevin Hart's smiling face. The book takes us from Sellou's childhood spent stealing candy from the local grocery store to his career as a pickpocket and scam artist, to his unexpected employment as a companion for a quadriplegic. Sellou tells his story with a stunning amount of talent, humor, style, and--though he denies that he has any--humility.

Recenzii
"The screenplay...cleverly uses the structure of a romantic comedy to frame the (platonic) friendship between two very different men... Their interaction is defined by feelings of love and amity... This is a buddy movie where the friendship doesn't play second fiddle to overblown action or raunchy comedy."
—James Berardinelli, Reel Views
"If you're looking for a lightweight summer change of pace, with just a smidgen of Continental flair, here it is."
—James O'Hehir, Salon
"You will laugh; you will cry."
—A. O. Scott, The New York Times
"It's Earth Wind & Fire vs. Vivaldi. It's weed vs. wine. It's the classic odd-couple buddy movie setup, only it'll pull at your heartstrings, whether you want it too or not."
—Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Believe the hype-this irreverent take on disability is charming and uplifting."
—Dayla Alberge, The Guardian
"It's an opposites-attract, getting-to-know-you buddy comedy with a tender edge and a sweet center."
—Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
"Irreverent and uplifting... it's an unabashedly lighthearted story of transcending socioeconomic, racial and class barriers and finding commonality in humor and honesty... The film's infectious vitality has us hooked... It's a defiantly feel-good story."
