Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It delivers broad laughs and tugs at the heartstrings without delving too deep - the very definition of a crowd-pleaser.
If you loved "The Bucket List," you'll be exclaiming, "Incroyable!"
The easygoing posture and strong casting keep The Intouchables from stumbling over vexing questions of race, class and disability.
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.
