'The Intouchables' is a modern 'bromance' story which conveys the most positive aspects of life. For that reason, it has trumped the Titanic at the box office and has managed to entertain a much wider audience inFrance.

The movie begins with a car chase, which defines the general approach of the film: light-hearted enough toamuse you, yet serious enough to make you review your own way of life. The wealthy quadriplegic Philippe needs a new live-in care-giver. However, he is unimpressed by the line-up of highly qualified and experienced interviewees. As a result, he takes an interest in an ex-convict who attends the interview in order to receive a rejection signature which would allow him to continue receiving welfare benefits. Driss, Philippe's new care-giver of African descent, often forgets about the fact that his boss is paralyzed from the neck down; an error which gives Philippe new hope in life, as he experiences what it's like to be treated like a normal, healthy person.

The contrast between the two characters is extremely effective. The wealthy Philippe is knowledgeable and always well mannered. The ex-con Driss is outspoken, street-smart and possesses an unexplainable confidence in his own ability. The friendship between these distinctly different characters, which manages to transcend all differences, may rekindle the viewers' hope in human relations.

The positive allure of this movie is also represented by the amiable character of the care-giver Driss, played by Omar Sy. His open and carefree attitude is responsible for almost every smile and laugh on the part of Philippe and the viewers. In February, the TV comic won the César Award for Best Actor, beating Oscarwinner Jean Dujardin of 'The Artist.'

Last but not the least, the movie is also absorbingly musical. Philippe is well-versed in classical music and his luxurious house is constantly flowing with the soft tunes of Ludovico Einaudi. Omar Sy's ridiculing of the genre, his infectious dancing display as well as his passion for his favorite band provide memorable moments throughout the film.

'The Intouchables' is a movie that makes you forget about the harsh realities of life and helps you stay focused on the positives. It may not be the most exciting movie in the world, but it certainly makes you feel good. On my scale from one to ten, 'The Intouchables' deserves a seven.
