Description

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen team up to beat the odds in a film that Peter Travers of Rolling Stone calls "achingly hilarious and heartfelt." Diagnosed with spinal cancer, 27-year-old Adam (Gordon-Levitt) navigates the road to recovery with the sometimes overbearing support of his crude best friend (Rogen), his smothering mother (Anjelica Huston), and an inexperienced therapist (Anna Kendrick). Inspired by the true story, 50/50 is an honest yet hysterically funny account of a young man's journey toward healing.

    I watched this because i saw it had Anna Kendrick in it. Even though the story line was very predictable I cried almost all the way through. I just wish it wasn’t left on a cliffhanger.

  • Good Film

    Spent half this movie crying and the other half sobbing. Brilliant movie. Seth Rogen plays the same character he always plays, but he's awesome. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is excellent, he's always in good movies and he didn't disappoint. If you're looking for a laugh out loud comedy, this won't be it, but it is a great movie. Definitely shows the reality of cancer as a young person and how these guys used humour to get through it. I loved it!

  • See it now-a must film to watch

    It's hard to find a film that adequately portrays the desperation, anger and sadness that being diagnosed with cancer brings to the afflicted and those around them. It's even harder to find a film that makes you laugh and smile despite this. A brilliant movie well worth a watch!

  • Very good film

Their is one particular scene that will be with me till my grave , this scene is just before he goes into his opp ! Watch this film I have a number of times and It still moves me !

    I found this film highly moving and to my knowledge it really portray how each party would coop in the situation of cancer. The acting was great even thou Seth Rogans chuckle is starting to get a little on the irritating side. Overall a great watch but if you intend to watch it make sure you have some a little lighter to watch after ;)
