“The Upside” (*1/2 out of four) was a downbound comedy drama about the unexpected relationship that develops between a quadriplegic millionaire (Bryan Cranston) and his helper (Kevin Hart) who is on parole and is trying to turn his life around. Terminally predictable story is needlessly silly at times and contrived and overlong and winds up a waste of time, with only the good-natured performances of its leads to carry it. Will someone please give Hart a different role to play? Nicole Kidman is wasted as Cranston’s assistant.
