Synopsis for The Intouchables:The Intouchables, by French writer/directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano, tells the true story of a wealthy, physically disabled risk taker, the picture of established French nobility, who lost his wife in an accident and whose world is turned upside down when he hires a young, good-humored, black Muslim ex-con as his caretaker. Their bond proves the power and omniscience that love and friendship can hold over all social and economic differences. They learn that sometimes you have to reach into someone else's world to find what's missing in your own.
"Let me come clean right now and tell you that I enjoyed The Intouchables quite a bit. If you're looking for a lightweight summer change of pace, with just a smidgen of Continental flair, here it is."—Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
"It has warmth, humor and an understated sweetness that is not to be taken for granted."—Rex Reed, New York Observer
"The Intouchables works as a crowd-pleaser not because it's true, but because it's a plausible enchantment."—The Globe & Mail (Toronto)
"What it provides (instead of the thematically clever dialogue of typically subtle French comedy) is biting wit, poignancy and, forsaking some structural nuisances, the summer's best bromance."—Boxoffice Magazine
