Based on a true story this film, Intouchables (2011), by Oliver Nakache and Eric Toledano is worth the while. It does have a slow start and it did take a little while past the intriguing opening scene to get into this story and really connect with it and the characters. But if you just make it past the, in all honesty, rather uneventful first part the rest of the film is both fun and engaging.
Omar Sy does a good job in acting his character Driss, a young man who turns up for a job interview to be able to receive unemployment insurance but ends up taking on a bet on whether or not he could even handle the job at all. The job and bet comes from Françios Cluzet's character Philippe - a tetraplegiac millionaire who cannot seem to find anyone suitable as his caretaker.
It's a decent enough film and as long as you're not completely uninterested in comedy-drama films based on true stories like this you will probably enjoy it. Personally I liked it, I found it worth watching, and I do recommennd it!
