This is undoubtedly one of my favorite films of all time, it has a perfect balance of comedy, drama and romance and has some really funny moments but is also quite sad.

One of the Best!
Seth Rogen in a different role
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.
Good Movie To Watch
I would give this movie a watch. Joseph Gordon Levitt is the cutest kid I have ever seen and he plays this role very well. The cast is phenom. As for Seth Rogan who thru out the movie bullies and pressures his friend and is intrusive with his friend's relationship, maybe Seth's character is insecure and doesn't have the likability to approach people like JGL and therefore is jealous. On the other hand, he is a good friend ( maybe he doesn't have anyone else) and sticks by his friend's side. Anna is wonderful in the movie; I didn't care for the ending...I was left thinking several thoughts.
