Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
sagadanielsson This movie reminds me of "500 days of summer" in all the best ways. Great acting, great cinematography and such a charming, funny and heartbreaking story so full of life. Even tho the main character is infact dying, you end up feeling more alive then ever.
donnielapoinde-54225 One of the few truly good cancer dramedies I have seen - watched it with one of my best friends and hugged her so hard after. Good to see men being there for each other and the performances are nice and natural unlike most movies on this topic. Solid screenplay and the fact that its based on a true story is so impressive. I really recommend.
Lee Eisenberg If you've paid attention to cinema for the past decade, you'll probably recognize Seth Rogen as the guy who wants to spend eternity smoking pot with his friends while they discuss bodily functions. But he gets a different role in Jonathan Levine's "50/50". He plays the friend of a cancer-stricken radio journalist (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). The movie manages to balance comedy and drama, as the friends have their usual fun while the neurofibrosarcoma-stricken Adam gets ready for chemotherapy. In the process, we meet Adam's overprotective mother, her Alzheimer's-afflicted husband, and some other people. Probably the most interesting character in the movie is Anna Kendrick's therapist-in-training. New to her job, she does what she has to.So, this is a movie that shows that even these guys who mostly star in silly movies can be versatile. Which is not to subtract from the performances of Kendrick, Anjelica Huston, Philip Baker Hall and Matt Frewer. A fine piece of work.
Tadas Motiekaitis I don't really know why this movie is rated this (kind of) high grade. Basically everything I seen were cliché, young couple buying a dog, main character falling inlove with "random" friendly and cute girl, because his current girlfriend appears to be a b***. Actors were good, acting was good too, but I expect this thing to be rated 4-5 stars not 7.7.
