50 / 50

50/50 Poster Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen and Anna Kendrick

This movie was inspired by true events. The story of a young man struggling to deal with his life after finding out he has cancer.

- Joseph Gordon-Levitt is brilliant and Seth Rogen is pure comedic gold. This is a serious movie dealing with serious subject matter. The writing is brilliant (although some of the acting, specifically Anna Kendrick, is a little less than stellar).

- There are some VERY good spots in this movie, but there are some others that just don't seem to fit. If it wasn't for the brilliant acting by both Gordon-Levitt and Rogen (and some of the supporting cast - Angelica Huston and Philip Baker Hall specifically), it may not have lived up to the hype. Overall a good movie though and definitely recommended.

Rating - 3.5 out of 5
