Plot/Summary,Inspired by a true story, 50/50 is an original story about friendship, love, survival and finding humor in unlikely places. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen star as best friends whose lives are changed by a cancer diagnosis in this new comedy directed by Jonathan Levine from a script by Will Reiser. 50/50 is the story of a guy's transformative and, yes, sometimes funny journey to health - drawing its emotional core from Will Reiser's own experience with cancer and reminding us that friendship and love, no matter what bizarre turns they take, are the greatest healers.

My Review.

Cancer turned into one hour of comedy oh my goodness that's not what it is. 50/50 is more then just a comedy about cancer. This film has to also talk getting help from someone. Adam has cancer and go's to therapy and dumps his girlfriend for cheating on him. He's not having in life and then is known to have cancer,it's like maybe well a self-help film,and a great one at that.
