50/50 could have been a dark, bleak movie or a sappy, manipulative fairytale. Instead, this film manages to walk the fine line between drama and comedy quite well. It presents a realistic look at a life-changing event, with excellent performances by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anna Kendrick. Seth Rogen plays his usual, irreverent self. I think the reason that this film succeeds is because it feels honest.

For me this movie raises two questions. 1. How does this movie get classed as a comedy? I cried more than I laughed. Just because there is a few laughs and Seth Rogen is in it doesn't make it a comedy. 2. How come it's scored so low? I thought it was a brilliant movie. Great story flawlessly executed by a brilliant cast. I can't recommend it more highly.

Way better script and performances than the director/dp could capture. Really missed an opportunity for some amazing visual story telling in this one. Still, the talent of the cast and leveled up with the subject matter makes this a supremely watchable film. This movie should have gotten way more traction.

This is possibly the best movie I have ever seen, and it stars Seth Rogen! I thought before watching this film it would be an average comedy that just uses cancer as a joke, but I was very surprised. The acting from Joesph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen is so realistic and emotional. I was surprised by how funny this film was and how dramatic and sad it was too. The journey of Joesph having cancer is probably the best representation of someone dealing with cancer I have ever seen in a movie. Every character is well acted and written, with all of them having memorable and interesting personalities. You haven't seen this movie already, you need to watch it now!
