"The Upside" is a heartwarming comedy-drama film that tells the story of Phillip, a wealthy quadriplegic, and Dell, a struggling parolee.
Phillip, an accomplished businessman and art collector, becomes paralyzed from the neck down after a paragliding accident. He requires constant care and assistance with his day-to-day routine. With his loyal assistant, Yvonne, overseeing the hiring process, Phillip decides to take a chance on Dell, who is desperately in need of a job to maintain custody of his young son.
Dell, having just been released from prison, is a free-spirited and unconventional individual who has difficulty holding down a job. Although initially unqualified and untrained, Dell's unorthodox methods and sense of humor manage to break through Phillip's initially reserved and stoic nature. Despite coming from vastly different backgrounds, these two individuals form an unlikely bond and friendship.
As Dell begins working as Phillip's caregiver, he introduces Phillip to a world outside of his luxurious but confined penthouse. They embark on various adventures together, such as attending a lavish art exhibition, going on spontaneous outings, and even indulging in a bit of recreational marijuana. Along the way, Phillip's resistance to change begins to fade, and he discovers a renewed zest for life.
Meanwhile, Dell is dealing with his own personal struggles. He is determined to mend his broken relationship with his ex-partner, Latrice, and gain the trust and respect of his son, Anthony. With Phillip's guidance, Dell learns the importance of responsibility, commitment, and dedication. He realizes that this opportunity to be a caregiver is not only an income source but also a chance for personal growth and transformation.
However, as their friendship deepens, complications arise. Yvonne, who harbors romantic feelings for Phillip, becomes increasingly jealous and threatened by Dell's growing presence in Phillip's life. Additionally, Dell's criminal past catches up with him, putting both his job and custody battle for his son at risk.
In the face of adversity, Dell and Phillip support each other, proving the significance of true friendship and the ability to overcome obstacles. Their bond inspires them to confront their fears, redefine their own identities, and live life to the fullest.
"The Upside" serves as a reminder that life's challenges can lead to unexpected connections and personal growth, highlighting the power of resilience, acceptance, and the beauty of unlikely friendships.
